Advantages: good basic kettle at a budget price
Disadvantages: none that i know of

...As soon as i set eyes on this kettle i knew it was just what i was looking for in a budget priced jug kettle. I found a bargain with this one,for just £9.95 i have a stylish 1.7 litre capacity kettle. It has three level boil dry cut out safety feature,in the event of the kettle being empty when switched on. It comes with a full 12 months guarantee.Haden will repair or give you a replacement. I don't need to fill it up completely,i can just boil enough for my needs. Very useful if making just one cup of tea. I like the easy pour shaped spout,there's no dribble or drips. It doesn't have a filter, but that's not a problem if it's rinsed out and descaled regulary. Some kettles i have had in the past had leads so long that they were hazardous as they would not coil round tidily. The Haden Classic Corded Kettle has a lead thats not so long... Read review

Advantages: boils water for my tea/cofee,simple
Disadvantages: simple, corded

...Haden corded jug kettle. The builders, bless their cotton socks broke my kettle and they replaced it with this Haden corded kettle I am not ever so happy about it but at least they replaced my kettle without being asked. This white auto jug kettle cost about £18. The guarantee is for 12 months. A plug is already fitted to the lead. I find the cord/lead a little short .I am sorry I can find no info on the length and I can not find a measuring tool its about 30 cm long I guestimate . This kettle is a tall jug with a water level gauge on the side. I find this useful. It will boil 1.7 litres of water. The on off switch is located on the handle of the kettle. This is pushed down to start the kettle top boil and when the kettle boils it automatically switches off. My husband thinks it takes a long time to boil. The spout is fine... Read review

Advantages: cordless kettle on short corded base, automatic cutout when empty, will not switch on if not properly seated on base
Disadvantages: still have to descale though VERY infrequently

...We have had our Haden kettle now for about 19 months. That is easy to recall as its only about a month older than our baby LOL Haden make a range of budget kitchen gadget type appliances and seem to be able to keep in business, so obviously they are not too dodgy even though not the most expensive on the market! That was our reasoning anyway :)And sorry for the truly dreadful pun in the title!!!!! (Blush!) Our particular kettle is white with a greenish water indicator window. There is a red light on the on button near the base of the jug, which lights up to let you know it has been switched on. The cordless kettle sits nicely on its short corded base plate. There is a nonstick sort of looking plate on the inside which supposedly helps reduce limescale. I would say it does a pretty good job as I have only had to descale once so far. I... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, glass jug, easy to use.
Disadvantages: Chrome finish looks a little cheap, only 2 speed settings.

...I thought I should get more fruit into my diet and as I am always on the go, I thought a blender would be the ideal way to achieve this. After a little shopping around I got the Haden HCB-100 and I'm not disappointed. It is a study blender, with 2 blending speeds and a pulse setting that blends at high speed for a long as you turn the button (excellant for getting bits of the sides at the end of blending!). The base unit itself is plastic in a crome effect finish which looks nice enough. It had on central knob that controls the blending speeds by clicking to the right and activates the pulse feature by clickin to the left. In terms of ease of use its a doddle, as for looks, the chrome affect is somewhat cheap looking, but then you get what you pay for a stainless steel blender would cost a lot more! The jug itself is glass which... Read review

Advantages: Innovative and a delight to listen to
Disadvantages: None

...for the rest of the album. It certainly helps that Coltrane has with her musicians who are no strangers to innovation - Pharaoh Sanders, Charlie Haden, Cecil McBee - and here they are expanding their musical horizons even further. What this definitely is not is musical tourism. It's driven by a strong spiritual belief system and musical integrity. The musicians may come from different traditions but in this instance their meeting was an inspired one.... Read review

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: same same same

...Enough is enough ,we've had enough. When Jerry Springer started to be show over her it was a novelty ,people only tuned in to see a but of punching on T.V something we haden't really seen on the telly this side of the atlantic ,not for real anyway. But it's all become a bit tedious to say the least . It seams to be on every challed you tune in to and its just so borring.Now the fighting is no longer a novalty you have no chice but to listen to the guests and its all the same,who slept with who and who they slept with etc etc. same same same. I even saw one show a couple of weeks ago and it was 2 SISTERS bragging that they sleep with each other and not one person turned round and said its wrong, its illegal, its immoral .Surley this can't be for real surley the power that be cannot have these sort of people promoting the immoralty...

Advantages: Fast boil. Ambidextrous use.
Disadvantages: Fast boil your fingers. Noisy. Dangerous to pour.

...to settle on the base and so make a good electrical connection. Another consequence and advantage of this design is that LEFT HANDERS can use it as easily as RIGHT HANDERS. We got this as a replacement for the other circular based electric kettle by Haden, which was getting a bit worn but was still serviceable. We would have got another Haden, if the usual places we buy stuff from had stocked it, but Argos said that there was a problem with the manufacture of this product and we could not find it anywhere else in Bristol. So we went to Index shop and found this Moulinex Lyris as the nearest similar design. This Moulinex Lyris has a button on the handle that causes the lid to rise up automatically due to being spring loaded. This might sound helpful at first, and it should be, but as a consequence of the continuous tension of the spring... Read review

Advantages: Boils quick, holds lots of water and looks good.
Disadvantages: Not available in purple which is a damn shame.

...in everything being covered in white paper snow. On the load that contained my two favourite and very fluffy fleeces. After spending the best part of half and hour picking white stuff off my clean washing, I put it in my old trusty tumble dryer. Which blew up as I watched. Understandably, a bit narked by now, I thought well I'll do the hoovering which usually serves as part housework, part therapy. Until the hose which connects the nozzle to the machine came off in my hands with no hope of repair. At this point I gave up hope of achieving anything useful and put my kettle on, expecting it to blow up/stop working/fall apart. It didn't and that's why I love it!!! Phew, that feels better! If you're still reading, which I hope you are, the Haden kettle I've got is the best kettle I've ever owned. It was relatively cheap at £19.99 from Argos... Read review
