A great kettle Sent: 03 August 2010 I love the look of this kettle, it is simple and stylish looking.
It is easy to keep this kettle clean and pristine looking. There is a removable filter that you can take out clean. The outer plastic is easily wiped down if needed and my one still looks brand new.
When you click the button to tell the kettle to boil it does so quickly and without making too much noise. My mum recently got a new kettle too (a completely different brand and type) and she had trouble with a plastic taste to her water. I was a bit concerned that this might have happened with my new kettle too. However, I have had no trouble at all like this. When the kettle is boiling it does light up a very pretty blue, this looks especially attractive at night when you can see it better, the whole kitchen glows with a bubbling blue shade.
Simple things like pouring the boiling water are as easy as they should be. The handle is easy to hold and I have never experienced any leaking or spilling when pouring the kettle. It is also easy to fill with a button releasing the lid, leaving plenty of room to fill from the tap.
It is set on a 360 degree base which means that it is easy for both right and left handed people to use. The kettle and the base feel and look quite sturdy.
I am really happy with this kettle because it does all the things I need it to do pour well, boil quickly and relatively quietly, while looking attractive.
Russel Hobbs Kettle - Great Value Sent: 28 July 2010 Great kettle for the price, looks good, performs well, no issues but does not drip which was a must as my children moaned about the last kettle. I do hate paying lots of money for things like kettles and toasters so maybe I am easy to please!
Good value but not for the heavy-handed Sent: 01 July 2010 I like this kettle because it rotates on the base - easy to get off and on and ideal with right and left-handed users in the house.
I also like the fact that it lights up when boiling - so at least one knows it's on. Ideal for the hard of hearing!
I also like the fact that one can hear it boil - again you know it's working. Ideal for the visually impaired.
However, the lid pops up sometimes when pouring out. Easily replaced but I would not recommend it for the heavy-handed - for instance workmen or perhaps teenagers. There is no problem if one is careful but it wouldn't take rough handling.
It is a nice shape, holds a large amount when needed and the colour fits in with my kitchen.
