Kenwood Ripple ZJP06.000BK review and specifications
1.5L 3000W kettle, midnight black
Editorial review Reviewed 16 October 2026 How we assess products
Kenwood Ripple ZJP06.000BK is a practical budget kettle with a 1.5L jug, 3kW heating and a low 200ml minimum fill. Cup and litre windows on opposite sides help left- and right-handed users; internal cup markers provide another filling guide. Its light body and wide spout make pouring manageable, and the pull-off lid gives cleaning access. The filter is removable and washable and the rotating base stores spare cable. Its exterior becomes hot, and useful short-term heat retention does not replace an active keep-warm function. Choose it for inexpensive single cups and tea rounds; pay more for insulation or variable temperature rather than looks alone.
