Product Description The13355 kettle from Russell Hobbs is as useful as it is stylish. It has a modern, stainless steel design and heats up in no time thanks to its 3000 W of power. The 13355 kettle is wireless, has a 1.7-litre capacity and is able to rotate 360° on its stand. Its handle has been designed with user comfort in mind, and is just as easy to pick up whether you're left- or right-handed. The removable limescale filter guarantees quick and easy maintenance, while the base has a special slot to hold the electrical cord when the 13355 is not in use.
Very good for the money  Sent: 18 November 2008
Nice looking kettle that works well, boils the water quickly, and is very reasonably priced.
What Which? did not say. Sent: 01 June 2008
As this kettle was one of Which?'s best buys, I bought it to replace my rapidly breaking-up old one. As a basic kettle it works well: it boils quickly so doing what a kettle is supposed to! However there are a number of points that stop this being a really good buy:
1: being metal the outside of this kettle gets very hot (unlike my former plastic one). If you want a metal body then there is not much that can be done about it (without, I guess, paying a lot more for additonal skins).
2: the light indicating that the kettle is on is not very noticable (being small and dim); however as this is a very noisy kettle it is easy to tell when it is on! (so one drawback, that of noise, counters the lack of a really good visual "on" indicator).
3: To fill the kettle the lid needs to be pulled off and this can be a little awkward as the handle is without any ridges. I particularly notice this if I have slightly damp hands (filling via the spout causes a degree of splash-back).
4: The most annoying aspect however is that there is no external indication of how full the kettle is.
All in all, though, if you want a cheap(ish) basic kettle this will serve - just bear in mind the contras when looking at alternatives.
