My father bought me a new kettle for my birthday, not because my old one had broken down but because I fancied a more modern look.
My kettle is white and gold with a clear teardrop shaped capacity guide. It has a sturdy handle and a very sculptured body. The on/off switch is quite a large oval shape, easy to find, even in the morning when you’ve just woke up! The top has a push in button, which releases the lid, and makes a loud click when the lid is replaced after filling with water, which is a good safety point, especially for the elderly and children who are just learning.
The kettle has a 1.7 litre capacity, which is larger than normal. Standard kettles usually only fill to 1.5 litres. It has a removable filter which can be washed, but replacements are also available from the supplier fpr a small amount, roughly £5. The kettle features a gold element inside the base, which helps prevent limescale. It is a cordless, high speed kettle. It has a swivel base so the kettle can be replaced at any angle and moved around 360 degrees.
It can be a little noisey at first (likely due to the fast boil action), but soon calms down to a gentle boiling sound. When the water is boiled the on button rises up and makes a definite click sound, so it is quite clear when the water is ready.
My father bought this kettle from Comet and it cost him £39.99. It is most likely available in all department stores, and comes with a two year guarantee.

Advantages: Cordless; ergonomic; smart design; quicker than alimentary egestion on a highly polished digging implement Disadvantages: The Evil Groove
In our hectic modern lifestyle, it is essential that we are able to shave an extra few minutes off making a cup of tea. As the average person drinks about 4 cuppas a day, that's over THREE DAYS a year saved. Just think what you would be able to do with all that extra time. The kettle is an ergonomic masterpiece. The handle fits snugly into the palm and as the off switch is located on the underside of the top of the handle, the action of holding the ... ...(mind you, as you lift the kettle, you are removing it from the electricity supply, so maybe its not such an important safety feature after all). The most obvious safety feature is that you don't have to keep handling the electric socket with potentially wet hands. The kettle locates into its supply very easily indeed.
The lid lifts with a push of a sky-blue button on top should you ever need to do so, but I find the spout more than big enough to ...

Advantages: Build-in element making it very easy to clean. Disadvantages: Too small for a large family
When you start reading this you might think I am really bonkers. I have fallen in love with a kettle of all things.
This week my faithfull electric kettle died. I had had it for some five years and it had proved to be a fine servant, but it was getting very tatty. I decided to go to my local warehouse shop to see what was on the market, knowing that there must be a lot more up-to-date kettles on the market after five years.
I walked into the kitchen ... ...a he). He was neat, fairly small and rotund, and sported a pure white coat with blue trim, it was love at first sight. He really stood out amongst the other cordless kettles, they all looked alike.
I reached for the box to read all about him. As I say he is cordless and has a small filter to catch any foreigners from our tap water. He can boil a litre of water in 130 seconds; yes he can, I have timed him. There are glass panels on both sides where ...

Advantages: Fast boiler, good looker Disadvantages: Build quality could be better, pain to fill
...flick the switch and the Tefal starts to look (and sound) impressive. Within seconds, you get to hear the sound of water starting to boil, and a bit later, voila, anything up to 1.7l of water.
Apart from the build quality, my only gripe is that I can't "just go and do something for a couple of minutes while I wait for the kettle" anymore. ...

Advantages: Looks good, boils quickly & quietly, easy-to-read water level Disadvantages: Some condensated water can drip onto handle when opening lid
...& Hobbs rapid-boild kettles, the Tefal Vitesse has not put a foot wrong yet.
Its large, 1.7L capacity offers plenty of juice for the cafetiere or family-sized teapot.
When the unit is on and boiling, the push-down button on the top of the handle lights up, making it fully visible all the way round, no matter if you're left- or right-handed.
The water guage is also visible from both sides of the kettle and is nice and wide, so it's really easy ... ...in. There's none of this 'floating ball' stuff which gathers scrum and limescale all too easily.
Filling the kettle can be done through the fairly large spout (could have been made a bit bigger) or if, like us, you use one of those water filter jugs to help curtail limescale, lifting the hinged lid is a simple one-handed operation. This is the only real down-side, since condensated water often drips right onto the handle because there are no 'channels' ...

...longer to boil.
The tefal has a large easy to operate blue button which you simply tap to heat. It has a very simple lid that opens and clicks back on, with all the standard features of a filter and measuring gages at the side. I have owned this for a good 3 years, still in perfect condition.
Being cordless, its EVEN better, i like to boil a big kettle of water and take it into my room so i can have mutiple cups of green tea.
Only problem is the ... ...the inside, but that will happen with any kettle because of the impurities in the water.
Quick tip, pour some standard vinegar into your kettle, boil it and then pour the vinegar away and scrub. The lime scale comes right off and its brand new again.
Definately would reccomend this item! ...
