...horrible kettle to use Morphy Richards is a well respected name (purchased a morphy richards manhattan now) in the small home electrical market and from the out look this kettle is another good one, but how wrong we were. Morphy Richards have sacrificed functionality for design and style on the 43120 glas an ilumina kettles Dont get me wrong the kettle served us well, looked great with its black handle/brushed chrome and glass body it really looks ...
