Makes Making a Cuppa a Cinch!

Advantages: Energy saving, Quick to boil, Stylish, Easy to use
Disadvantages: Amount poured is not adjustable, water drips, only good for filling cups

...bought it to replace another Breville kettle. The previous one worked fine but hot water seemed to drip down the front when pouring, which isn't very good. This 'Hot Cup' kettle is very different though and looks not too dissimilar to a coffee machine and it pours the water for you without you having to lift it off the base (it's more of a dispenser really). It has a bright blue light where the button is and the transparent part of the body with ...
...the kettle on. Overall, I think the kettle is very stylish looking kettle. The kettle is an energy-saving kettle and also a very quick boiling kettle, which is just what we need as no one likes waiting for water to boil. We had previously bought a quick boiling kettle which is supposedly boiled water in a matter of seconds but the results were so disappointing that we returned it. This kettle on the other hand has been quite impressive but it's not ...

Morphy Richards manhattan 43015 Chrome Kettle

Advantages: Design, Looks,Boiling speed,Blue light
Disadvantages: Water level indicator, Filling ability

...low we settled on the Morphy Richards Manhattan Kettle to replace our other Morphy Richards Kettle 43120 Glass Please read the review on the 43120 when i post is as it is a dangerous kettle Anyway back to the new Manhattan The kettle is finished in a highly polished shiney chrome which actually resists finger prints very well so it stays cleaner. It gives the appearance of being very tall and slim and in the shop it looked a bit odd but when we ...
...a double cool wall and for those who are worrined as it is metal and conducting heat from the water don't. Yes its gets warm but not hot enough to scold if you accidently touch it. When the kettle is put on to boil there is a funky blue light which lights up the water level indicator on both sides. One draw back is the water level indicator is difficult to read where the level is as the window is very thin. You get used to the cup indicator rather ...

Breville Stainless Steel Kettle - does what it says

Advantages: Funky little think
Disadvantages: Can be costly if you don't shop around

***Breville Spectra Stainless Steel Kettle*** Ive tried many new kettles since we bought our new house, but last December we had our kitchen totally refitted, but unfortunately it meant all of our white reliable appliances looked a bit out of place with our shiny new kitchen. What did I want from kettle: Prior to going shopping we decided that everything had to be black or stainless steel to colour co-ordinate with our kitchen (or should I say I ...
...importantly I wanted a kettle that was reliable, easy to use and easy to clean. Where did I shop: Im quite a frequent shopper at Argos because I love some of their special offers and on this occasion they had a sale on a lot of their electrical appliances. The kettle cost me £34.00 and I had the option to purchase the 3 year replacement cover, but taking previous experiences into account I opted to stick with the standard one year warranty included ...

Lasted just longer than the 12 mth guarantee then failed

Advantages: Looks good and does what it says on the tin
Disadvantages: Lack of durability and prone to chipping

I bought this product in December 2008 and although up to Jan 2010 it worked satisfactorily it has now failed. It was guaranteed for 12 months so is out of guarantee. I personally do not think that is an acceptable life span on a product of this so called quality. Another thing to take in to consideration when thinking of buying this product is the design of the lid is such that when replacing the lid after filling the kettle the lid causes chipping ...

We've got a new kettle!

Advantages: Looks good, works well, not expensive
Disadvantages: None for us

...that we chose was the Philips Energy Efficient Kettle HD4644 in white and it cost £24.49. I appreciate that we may well have got this cheaper on the internet but we needed a new kettle straight away so it was a case of needs must! It comes in a smart, sturdy box – ideal for easy wrapping if you are buying it as a present – with a picture of the kettle on the back and the front. On one side of the box there are various pictures showing the different ...
...some tips on the energy efficient use of the kettle. Packed inside the box is the kettle, the base unit complete with flex and plug, a guarantee and a sheet of instructions. I unpacked it all and first put the base unit on my kitchen worktop. This is circular with a central ‘stump’ for want of a better word! The flex can be wound round the underside of the base so you just need to have enough flex showing to reach from the base to the socket – so ...
