Advantages: Looks great, good price, made by Philips
Disadvantages: Does get some limescale build-up

---Introduction--- I have reviewed every electrical product and appliance in our flat, except for our kettle. This review will complete the set and there will be no more such reviews from me *sobs*. The kettle that I'm reviewing, is rather suprisingly made by Philips. My family has had it for a while and we have been very pleased with the usage we have had from it. I will try and give as detailed an account as possible, without boring you with silly ...
...regular jug kettle. It is 2400 Watts so it's pretty powerful. It has a gauge along the side that indicates the level of water inside the kettle. It has a maximum capacity of up to three pints, which is the equivalent to one and a half litres. There is an anti-scale filter fitted, but this doesn't completely prevent a little bit of build-up. The kettle is cordless and is placed backed on the base unit which is connected to the mains to heat up the ... Read review

Advantages: boils water quickly - holds 1.7 litres of water - has auto switch off
Disadvantages: looks cheap

...tight. I bought the Philips HD4628 from Amazon using an online voucher from another review site adding the difference making the total cost including postage and shipping £27.94. Available in 3 colours I opted for the plain white. Looking up will show you what the kettle looks like and to be honest there is nothing super duper about the kettle - it looks basic - it is basic - but it does what it is meant to do - boils water. The kettle has a water ...
...and holds 1.7 litres of water which when fully filled takes approximately 4 minutes to completely boil from standing which is reasonable in my eyes. The kettle is easy to fill as it has a large spout and this means that I don't even have to bother taking the lid off - the ultimate in lazy! In addition to this - the kettle has a scale filter - I'm not sure what it does and the water from the kettle tastes no different from the water that came out ... Read review

Advantages: reliable with no faults
Disadvantages: only allowed a certain amount of water

this kettle is a very reliable product that i had purchased over 6 months ago and still it is running with absolutely no problems. i would reccommend this product for all those who love their tea, coffee or even to fill up their water bottles. ive found that there are no safety faults within the kettle which i had found with my previous kettle and still can see the scars. i have purchased over 4 kettles within the last year and this one has been ...

Advantages: Quick boil, Large capacity, Looks good, Not too expensive
Disadvantages: Metal casing can get a bit hot

...Also, with a brand like Philips I expected quality that would last. We purchased it there and then for £25.47 and it came with a one year warranty. When we took it home to try it out we were pleasantly surprised. The kettle holds 1.7 Litres so more than enough to make teas/coffees when you have guests. The kettle also boils really quickly - when full it takes 3 minutes 58 seconds to boil and this gives you 6 large mugs of boiling water. The kettle ...
...the window there is the philips logo and the wording 3000W. I don't normally like branding on items but this is discrete enough that you hardly notice it. The rest of the kettle (including the base) is made up of sturdy black plastic. I don't know how to describe this better but it looks good and not cheap and nasty, which is what I always think of when someone mentions plastic. The lid has a scooped out section where you can open it to fill the ... Read review
