Advantages: Looks great, Fast Boil, Disadvantages: Poor Quality Build, Not Value for Money
...this kettle to match my Dualit toaster reviewed previously. I was delighted with the build quality of the toaster so after paying around twice the price of a normal kettle, I expected the same, but Oh Boy was I wrong.
Available in Black, Cream, Light Blue Red & Barbie Pink (Why !) Made from polished stainless steel and is fitted with heatproof coloured handles. This Cordless Jug Kettle is fitted with a lime-scale filter & a water level indicator ... ...so there is less build-up of lime scale which is a huge befit for me as I live in a hard water area.

Output per hour: 22 litres Loading (kW): 2.4 Dimensions 22 / 25 / 18 cm W,H,D (cm's)
The advertising claims a Rapid boil feature but it takes 3 full minutes to boil one litre of water (about three cups) which is more time than my previous kettle that made no such claim. Additionally the design of the kettle makes it cool down very quickly ...

Advantages: Looks the business! Disadvantages: Perhaps the price?
I have been using this kettle for around four months now and I've very pleased with the look, design and performance.
We needed a new kettle and having been given some vouchers for John Lewis decided upon this kettle which was higher in price than we may have otherwise paid. I really like to sleek design and the colour fits perfectly with our kitchen. The kettle feels sturdy and is easy to clean. This model also covers a smaller surface area than ... ...another review I noticed that they found the boiling time unacceptable, I've timed mine (out of curiosity because I hadn't noticed this) having filled the kettle to max and flicked the switch, it boiled in 2.35 - this is acceptable to me, especially as I don't boil a full kettle on a regular basis. I wouldn't strongly recommend this product, neither would I steer you away from it, because that's your decision to make. I can only present my experience, ...

Advantages: Boils water and looks good. What more could you want? Disadvantages: Must be treated with special care and is expensive compared to other kettles.
...where we have both the Dualit toaster and kettle. On the whole we are very pleased about our kettle and toaster, however, if considering buying the kettle appliance be prepared to look after it carefully. Our kettle began to function incorrectly after about 4-6 months use, the fault the kettle had sustained meant that the kettle could still boil water very effciently, but failed to cancel the heating process when it had finished boiling. This meant ... ...manually switch it off, no great harship, but a bit annoying. We belive that the damage caused to the thermostat [the part of the kettle that prevents it boiling dry through prolonged boiling] was partly due partly to a couple of knocks the kettle may have recieved. However for many years we have been replacing kettles and purchasing new ones due to the old one ceasing to function. [Thing just arent built how they used too!] This kettel is a good ...

Advantages: easy pour,central locator,dual viewing window Disadvantages: Lid difficult to remove,2300watt element
A very well made made jug kettle. The good points are the central locator on the base,ideal for left and right handed couples,the level viewing window on both sides of the kettle also ideal.. The kettle is well balanced and has a perfect pouring spout,just like a teapot. On the downside the lid is hard to remove especially when hot and I find hot water can splash out onto your hand.It also only has a 2300 watt element so does not boil as fast as ...

Advantages: Lovely design to have on show Disadvantages: can get similar a lot cheaper
...I insisted on having a dualit kettle in my first flat with my partner. I must admit I spent a lot more on a kettle than I should have and this was purely for the dualit brand name and look. I have the cream, but it comes in a wide range of fab colours to fit in with any colour scheme. It does look really nice in my kithchen and if you can afford to splash the cash and are a bit of a slave to the name then go for it. If not Id probably just buy a ...
