A very nicely designed retro kettle Sent: 25 December 2006
A very nicely designed and manufactured retro style kettle, standing out when compared to other similarly priced and designed retro kettles (for example the very similar Prestige Deco ) with a (much) better finish (the Prestige's plastic parts are really quite nasty) and nicer ergonomics. Every aspect of the kettle seems to work well and look good - from the mesh scale filter to the slick and smooth on-off button and robust handle.
Only two features mark it down from a five to a four star kettle. The lid is rather tinny and hard to open and close (although this is a characteristic of several kettles of this sort, and if anything the similar De Longhi and Dualit kettles are even worse). And the name - "Cotswold"? It brings to mind rural farm houses or commuter-belt suburbs. Horrid.
Luckily this is a kettle equally at home in modern urban kitchens looking for some retro key notes. And this kettle successfully captures the essence of the standard no frills enamelled kettle everybody owned through the 50s-70s (whilst modern in every way). Not wild about the pastel colour ways though. Mine is bright red, looks great, and I'd recommend that yours is too.
