Russell Hobbs RHM1712

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: stylish, easy to clean, does small cup or large cup
Disadvantages: sometimes forget to remove pod

...This is a great little addition to the kitchen and a simple way to get a good caffeine kick first thing in the morning. Not only that, it's easy to operate (all the buttons are at the bottom (small cup, on/off and large cup!) and easy to clean as well. The drip tray cab be removed and rinsed or thrown in the dishwasher and the body of the machine wipes down very easilyI would highly recommend it to anyone that is tired of instant! The coffee pods that are available come in a range of different strengths and the quality is not too bad at all. It also looks very stylish and goes well alongside a similar shaped Russell Hobbs kettle.... Read review
