Trendy, fashionable, sleek and modern it is, practical it is not.
I bought this kettle for 54.99, expensive for a kettle but the amount of times I pop the kettle on during tv ads and then forget to make the drink must end up costing a lot of money and damage the environment, so I decided to do my bit and go eco-friendly.

The delightful design looks attractive in a modern kitchen, and it does have the 'expensive' look, yet the 3 second hot water is not in my eyes as it has been described.

Tefal claim that hot water is dispensed to make a cup of tea or coffee, however the water appears to only be heated and not boiled. I contacted tefal as i found the product to be extremely noisy and they claimed this was usual, as it is the claris aqua filter. Not the best noise to wake your household with when making your morning brew. With regards to the heat of the water, tefal say that the water is 80-82 degrees when dispensed, to me this does not constitute as boiling, therefore i sent my package back to tefal but was given a complete refund.

The only other bad side to this product is that when the water is despensed it appears cloudy. I know it is not my water as i ran it clear to check, maybe it is the filter which needs improving, im not sure but this is one product i would not recommend. Hopefully they will bring out a revised version which is new and improved in the future!

Your review could do with a lot more information - what were the manufacturer's claims for the kettle? How can it boil (or not boil) water so quickly? Microwaves? I appreciate that you didn't like it though - and anyway £50-odd quid for a kettle seems very steep!
