Philips HD 2626

Advantages: Stylish, Modern, Smart
Disadvantages: Noisy

...My kettle needed updating and I wanted something more stylish. You get that with this Phillips kettle. Looks smart and the silver isn't the type that leaves streaks and marks when cleaning or touching it.

Advantages: Can boil small quantities, ease of use and good looks.
Disadvantages: none

...Sleek, slightly ‘retro’ styling and stainless good looks attracted me to this particular kettle. The fact that it is cordless and easy to use was an added bonus. Unlike some cordless kettles, where you have to boil a fair amount of water to cover the element, the Phillips Filterline HD4601 has an element which is almost flush with the bottom of the kettle, meaning you can boil quite small amounts.

When it was opened and tried on Xmas day, we could not get it to work. No matter what we tried the machine just refused to come on, never mind make a cup of coffee. Of course when we tried to contact Philips the phone lines were busy, it took 4 days to finally get a human on the other end of the line. All they said was take it or send it back to the company that I bought it from. I could work that out for myself! So it is sent back to Amazon for a full refund and good riddance to it and Philips customer services. I wish I could give you some more... Read review
