I have only recently purchased this kettle and i think it is one of the best kettles we have had.

Russell Hobbs combines traditional styling with high tech performance in its classic range of stainless steel small appliances.

I had been on the look out for a good new kettle at a reasonable price as we were in need of a new one, and my husband had recently redecorated our kitchen, so i wanted something that would fit in with our kitchen decor and also do a good job. My sister has had this kettle for a while now, and she recommended it to me, so i thought i would give it a try as Russell Hobbs is a well known brand.

First of all the packaging was very secure and there was no chance of the kettle inside being damaged, everything was packed in with cardboard and bubble wrap.

Inside the box was the kettle, the power base, instruction booklet and a gurantee.

The instruction booklet is really informative and gives you everything you need to know about the product and how to use it.

The kettle is a cordless jug kettle and is stainless steel with a black plastic power base, black on and off switch, black handle and has some black on the handle of the lid, the rest of it is silver (stainless steel).

The power base has a cable and a plug, the cable is about 2 feet long, so ideal for most kitchens.

Basic features:

The kettle has a hinged locking lid, which is very easy to open and shut, you press in the lid realise and pull it back to open and then to shut you press the lid release in again and press down to lock it.

The spout on the kettle is very generous and a really nice little pourer, it also has a removeable filter which can be cleaned.

There is a multi-directional 360 degrees base with cord storage, which is really ideal.

The handle of the kettle is very big and sturdy, so if the kettle is full to the max then there is little chance you won't be able to keep hold of the kettle.

The kettle has rapid boil, energy efficent 3kW concealed element, which makes the boiling process alot smoother and quicker.

The on and off switch is big and easy to use simply flip it up and down.

When you flip the switch to boil the kettle a visible red light comes on, when the water is boiled the red light goes off. This little touch i think is very clever and is a really nice feature. Also when the kettle has finished boiling the kettle will switch off.

The water level indicator is very large and you can see it but it is kind of behind the handle which some people might not like, but this really doesn't bother me as you can easily see it.

The kettle itself is strong and hard wearing and looks very attractive, and holds up to 1.7 L of water.

After a while, discolouration may appear on the floor of the kettle but do not worry as it's due to the bonding of the element to the kettle floor so is perfectly normal and will not affect the boling process.

The water filter of the kettle prevents scale particles from the water going into your drink. If deposits of these are seen then it is time to clean your filter.

Cleaning the filter is simple (I havn't had to do it yet because i havn't had it long, but my sister has). All you have to do is remove the filter, brush it with a soft brush under a running tap, rinse the kettle then put the filter back in. This will keep your kettle in tip-top condition, so you can experience the brilliance of your kettle for alot longer.

Possible disadvantages of the product:
Water level indictor isn't in full view - could be a problem for some.
As it is stainless steel, often find fingerprints on the body of the kettle, but nothing that a cloth won't remove.

All in all the Russell Hobbs cordless jug kettle is a brilliant product to buy , the kettle is strong and does the job perfectly as well as looking the part and i would highly recommend this product.
