Advantages: Quick boil, easy to lift because of the traditional shape. Disadvantages: Lid could easier to open .
...I purchased this Kenwood SK996 approximately about three
months ago because our Russell Hobbs Montana was leaking
at the base.
We went back to a classical shape which is easier to lift when
full.
The Kenwood is much quieter when bringing to the boil than the Russell Hobbs Montana.
The lid could be easier to remove but it has a good knob to grip
hold of with your hand round the handle.
I found the clear duel windows easy to read the amount of water in the kettle.
I live in a hard water area but the inside seems to be keeping
fairly lime free so far.
The washable filter is smooth to remove and easy to clean.
I would reccomend to my friends that they purchase the Kenwood SS996....
