Advantages: Cordless and reasonably priced Disadvantages: A bit heavy
Kettles are like light bulbs? you know they are going to need replacing one day.
When I do set out to buy a new one, I do no research the market like I would a new television or PC, but I guess I do require one to be cheap (but not too cheap) and ?sort of? cool looking. I found this with the Frigidaire FCL-G362.
When I got divorced I did not leave the marital home with much ? I was glad to depart with my sanity intact, to be honest (I think I did anyway, keep my sanity). I won?t go into the whole divorce thing too deeply here, but I left with a few bits and bobs and these included the kettle. You could say I got custody of that old white Philips. It came with me to the flat I now reside in alone (save for when the kids come and stay at weekend). It made many a cup of coffee and boiled many a nip of water for a hot toddy. I can?t say ...
Advantages: Acres of space in the fridge, A rating Engery Disadvantages: can be noisy at times, not the biggest of freezers
-- Background --
We have always had seperate fridges and freezers for the past 10 years. The last fridge we bought was a bit of a panic buy as we were in the middle of a heatwave and the fridge we had at the time blew up. From then on we have always complained that the fridge was actually too small. With this in mind, I was a little sceptical of paying over £300 and being disappointed.
We decided to go for the Frigidaire after many google searches as we were impressed with the price and the capacity of the unit.
-- Whats in the box --
There are no surprises in the box, you get the fidge-freezer which comes very well packed. I'm guessing it took us around 10 minutes to get all the packaging off. Inside the freezer compartment in one of the drawers you will find the instruction manual and the door handles which need to ...
Advantages: Up to 1.7 litre capacity. Safe and simple to use. Filter for fresher water. Disadvantages: Takes too long to boil. Not aesthetically pleasing to look at. User manual a bit ambiguous.
A kettle is one of those appliances that it is almost impossible to imagine any kitchen without. For one brief period a while ago this is exactly what happened to me. I woke up early one morning, and the very first thing I do is put some water into my kettle and boil it for a refreshing cup of good old tea. But shock. It had lived its course, and refused to boil the water. After ten minutes of this I realised something was wrong. It had died after four years of loyal tea-making service. So that very day I went and bought myself a new one. Not being an expert on the subject I simply looked for the cheapest available, and at a tenner, this was the Frigidaire FCL1713 cordless kettle.
The packaging is quite basic, though it doesn't need to be much else. It has a picture of the kettle itself and the make of it. The main details are ...
