Judge points to this thicker base as the reason heat spreads across the bottom rather than concentrating in one spot, which matters more as capacity goes up.

That matters for a kettle likely to be bought once and used for years, potentially across a house move or a hob upgrade to induction.

At 1.42kg and 23 x 22 x 24cm, the JQ04 is bigger and heavier, and Judge publishes both figures here where they are not given for the smaller size. A trigger release spout keeps pouring simple with a full load, and the grip handle suits a kettle often picked up completely full.
