Get into hot water with style - Russell Hobbs Stylis Kettle

Advantages: Hot water and fast!
Disadvantages: Measly power cord 0.75 m length

The Russell Hobbs 14590 Stylis kettle is cordless and takes its power from a circular base that allows the kettle to face in any position in a 360 plain allowing it to be arranged on even a flat and level work surface suitably-oriented for either left, right or even mixed-handed households. The base comes with a 0.75 metre mains cable which restricts where you can place the kettle but satisfies the safety aspect of reducing the chance of catching ...
...up to 1.7 litres of boiling water. The kettle has an open handle that gives the kettle quite a good balanced feel even when full of boiling water. The spout is both accurate for pouring measured amounts exactly where you want them and non-drip when you return to the base. The water is delivered through a filter inside the spout that can be removed for cleaning. The power switch is located at the base of the kettle rather than the top, which turns ...

No chemical taste lovely kettle!

Advantages: No chemical taste
Disadvantages: none

I recently bought this kettle after having bought two new kettles which made your drinks taste terrible. The plastic come chemical taste was awful and would not go away no matter what I tried. I tried all the advise such a white vinigar , bi- carb .So I was a desperate to find a kettle that would not only look good but most of all boil water that we could drink. This kettle does both those things. It looks good, its not too heavy. It boils quitely, ...

Russell Hobbs Kettle

Advantages: Stylish and modern
Disadvantages: Poor quality, and short life!

Oh Dear! Having been bought this kettle for a Xmas pressie at first we were very pleased as it was stylish and went with our new kitchen. Then within in 2 months its stopped working - but went back and replaced it as it was under guarantee. Now 18 months later it started to leak from the base and the spout , the seals had gone! and it had to go. It always dribbled from the spout, which was annoying and needed cleaning all the time as it marked. ...
...I suppose. Also the filter inside broke with in a year. Just very disappointed that a basic item such as a kettle didnt last longer. Have looked at reviews on other web sites and see Im not alone in thinking this is a poor quality item. Have just bought a cheap M&S one - still noisy - we will see how long this one lasts! ...

It Made My **** Boil!

Advantages: Looks ok and doesn't feel cheap!
Disadvantages: Leaks!

Not being a tea or coffee drinker, I don’t use a kettle very much so when my gas hob kettle broke after many years of service I was looking for a more economical one as t’other one used to take an age to boil on the gas and one that blended in to my kitchen without breaking the bank! This is a steel kettle, predominantly silver in colour with some black. A cordless kettle which sits on a connector base which has a cable length of 0.6m which for ...
...sit on the bench and be plugged in as some other kitchen appliances have cables that are too long and make it look untidy. The kettle is a good shape, relatively streamline and blended in well with the rest of the new(ish) kitchen. It is easy to fill from either the spout or by pressing a button at the top the lid flips open. The push down ‘on’ switch is near the base of the kettle, just under the handle. So all was well with the look and the price ...

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 ...
