Russell Hobbs 14174 Serenity

Advantages: easy to fill, looks great
Disadvantages: hot to touch, heavy and short lived

...I have always loved the style of Russell Hobbs small appliances and have the sandwich toaster and toaster in the same style. Howeve I have found you pay the price for style with this product as it is cheaply made with plastic coated chrome in some parts which has peeled off leaving an ugly kettle instead of a stylish one. Mine is also leaking from bottom of handle and the only good place for it is in the bin after only 18 months. Needless to say the warranty has expired. All other kettles including cheap ones have outlasted this lemon. No more Russell Hobbs products for me. Russell Hobbs products always stood for quality but not any more. Dont buy this kettle!!!...

Advantages: Good quality, quick
Disadvantages: funny shaped spout

...With this item, Russell Hobbs further consolidate their good quality and high performance home appliances range. this item is quick, clean and easy to use, As an added advantage it is also well priced for comparable products. The water is quick to boil and easy to pour, one disadvantage I would say however would be its handle, a funny shape and can be a little difficult to hold when you are pouring it to empty. Russell Hobbs products are one of few items that look good in kitchens, stylish and smart looking and this is no exception, with the added consideration that it comes in different colours to match any kitchen setting. However an exceptional product and one I would still highly reccomend. Quick Facts, quick to boil, good volume quantity, good price, I bought mine at just over £20,... Read review

Advantages: Great features- 1hr timer
Disadvantages: Quite bulky

...I have had many bread makers and none of them have been as good as my Russel Hobbs. I bought mine a few months ago. I have made lots of different types of bread. It doesn't just make bread though, you can cook jams, cakes and even mix pizza dough which beats the quality of any bought pizza. This bread maker has many features- 2lb capacity, delay timer so you can wake up to the smell of fresh bread in the morning, weight options 1lb, 1.5lb and 2lb. Bread always used to take a long time to make and is very hard work it is also good for the elderly who may not have the strength to mix dough, just push a few buttons and away you go....
