I sincerely regret buying JK46 as it is one big fault. I have it for more than a year now and it needs to be replaced as it has several leaking points which make it almost unusable. First it started to leak from a bottom. I assume it was caused by me placing jug on the base with too much power. Not long after I discovered a leak from water window. At first I thought it is steam turn water but then I did my test with cold water confirming the leak. Even if no leaks have been discovered I would still be not 100% with it. It has a serious lime scale build up inside even though I clean it quite regularly. Also design is far from perfect. Item gives impression of very cheap “Argos value” kettle but it costs 4 times more and you have every right to expect something far better. One star.

We bought this kettle about 2 years ago. At first it seemed like a good buy - comfortable, large capacity, quick to boil & relatively quiet. However, all these good points are let down by the incredibly poor quality of the plastic used to make it. Not only has it discoloured from white to a mottled pale yellow, but it is pitted in places and - astoundingly - it leaks THROUGH the plastic! I couldn't believe it at first until I saw it actually happening - little beads of water appearing through the sides of the kettle. Have today replaced it with one made from stainless steel.
