BOIL LITTLE KETTLE, BOIL (Morphy Richards 43078)

Advantages: fast boil, concealed element, neat design, central connector, looks good, cheap
Disadvantages: heavy when full and walls get hot

...After throwing away my last leaking kettle and burning a perfectly good stainless steel sauce pan to death I decided that it was time to get a replacement and given myself a budget of £20 (and a recently received voucher for £2.50 off PayPal postage) I started to look in my first port of call now for pretty much everything, that is on eBay. I developed a shortlist of three brands (one Kenwood, one Breville and two Morphy Richards), checked Amazon, dooyoo and Ciao for prices and reviews and eventually picked this model. The shape of the kettle can be seen well in the product photo, the producers leaflet names it as 'Clarity Jug' and I have to say that despite consciously trying to avoid using appearance as my criteria for choosing household appliances I am very pleased with the look of this kettle, it is smooth and streamlined...

Morphy Richards 43005 Jug Kettle

Advantages: Appearance, good clear level indicator
Disadvantages: lid design

...Overall it's not too bad a product. It's a kettle. It boils water, what more can be expected of it? Supplied on the near ubiquitous swivel base its general construction appears robust and placing it on the base is simple with a good stable seating position. The cord from the base can to a small extent be lengthened or shorted by concealing portions of it below the base to help keep your counters tidy. Capacity at 1.7 litres is pretty normal and appears to be the standard capacity offered by most kettles. A clear and useful level indicator is placed on the side of the kettle, however this is only on one side and so may not suit all kitchen layouts. The interior is manufactured in plastic, with a stainless steel base concealing the element. Both base and sidewalls appear to resist the collection of limescale very well...

Morphy Richards manhattan 43015 Chrome Kettle

Advantages: Design, Looks,Boiling speed,Blue light
Disadvantages: Water level indicator, Filling ability

...After seaching high and low we settled on the Morphy Richards Manhattan Kettle to replace our other Morphy Richards Kettle 43120 Glass Please read the review on the 43120 when i post is as it is a dangerous kettle Anyway back to the new Manhattan The kettle is finished in a highly polished shiney chrome which actually resists finger prints very well so it stays cleaner. It gives the appearance of being very tall and slim and in the shop it looked a bit odd but when we got it home it fitted in so well. It has a double cool wall and for those who are worrined as it is metal and conducting heat from the water don't. Yes its gets warm but not hot enough to scold if you accidently touch it. When the kettle is put on to boil there is a funky blue light which lights up the water level indicator on both sides. One draw back is...

Morphy Richards Impressed me

Advantages: An economical iron from Morphy Rchards
Disadvantages: None

...Morphy Richards are well known and trustworthy manufacturers of electrical appliances and produce a wide choice of products. With Christmas fast approaching the company have many novel and inexpensive gift ideas displayed on their website. Of course all of the prices have been adjusted to reflect the recent reduction in VAT. So many times I have bought an electrical appliance only to find a few months down the line that I need to find spare parts or accessories and often this can be frustrating. But I have noticed that Morphy Richards have a search facility on their website for this and if you cannot find the part that you are searching for then you can contact their Customer Care Team via the website. Replacing my iron has been on my `To Do` list for some months now and I have only recently got around to doing it. Years...

A great Morphy Richards Product

Advantages: Delicious bread without such a gaping hole in the bottom
Disadvantages: Ingredients bucket a bit stiff to manouver

...I have had my original Morphy Richards breadmaker for two years and it was still in good working order but when I saw a new model in Robert Dyas, I had to go and investigate. The new model on display was boasting a drop down paddle which meant no more gaping holes in your bread after you have removed it from the tin. That has to be a plus! The fact that the price had been reduced from £70 to just under £50 swayed my decision. My current which model could be passed onto a grateful family member. As I unpacked this very good looking silver machine, I found an instruction book, guarantee card (for two years) and the measuring cup and spoons. The instruction book is very clear and is full of interesting recipes which include cake and jam. There are a list of baking cycle times and you can make a fast loaf in 1 hour should you wish...

Review of Morphy Richards Illuma Jug Kettle

But does it boil water?

Advantages: Fast boil, cordless, easy clean
Disadvantages: Lid makes filling difficult, pouring without spilling is no mean feat

...The Product The Morphy Richards Illuma Jug Kettle is available from selected department stores, electrical stores and mail order companies, as well as various online stores. The RRP on this kettle is around the £50 mark, but it?s currently selling on Amazon.co.uk for £42.99, and can be found from around £25 on eBay. There is also a matching 2 slice toaster available for an RRP of around £30. Why I Bought It Back in November 2005 I took over part of the mortgage on my parents house, and wanting my own space and privacy, started work on turning the top floor into my own flat, complete with separate bathroom and kitchen. Before the work had even started I begun hunting for appliances for my soon to be brand new kitchen, and it wasn?t long before I saw a kettle I just HAD to have. I?ve always been drawn to anything with blue...

Review of Morphy Richards Illuma Jug Kettle

Ooh, a flashy cuppa

Advantages: Very pretty.
Disadvantages: Expensive, heavy.

...pulled by children. The Illuma kettle ticked those boxes and was suitably flashy. Morphy Richards ask us on the box "Have you seen the light?" Well, you will be fascinated by it when you use it. See bottom pictures for the appearance when switched on and when off. It has a 3.1kW rapide element enclosed in the kettle for easy descaling. It is quick to boil and not very noisy. As you can see, the look is very stylish, appearing to be on an angle. When the kettle is switched off it has a stainless steel appearance, although the main body is glass.Unless you hold the kettle up to the light you can not see the water inside. When switched on, the blue neon light brightens the glass so you can see the water bubbling and blue, dancing before your eyes. The main features :A lid that is pushed open by a release button on the back...

Morphy Richards 43121 Illuma Kettle

Advantages: 360 degree base
Disadvantages: Poor spout that drips, lid doesnt open fully, filter falls out

...Morphy Richards 43121 Illuma Kettle Blue and Stainless Steel With a new fitted kitchen just installed my tatty old kettle and toaster looked really out of place! I decided I wanted a kettle that: • Had a 360 degree base - for ease of placing the kettle onto the base • Illuminated when on • Had a concealed element • Was finished in a brushed or stainless steel finish • Had a matching toaster in the range • Was under £50 • Is made by a well known brand • And of course it must look good! I choose the Morphy Richards 43121 as it fitted ALL of my requirements and looked fantastic in the picture on the box. I purchased the kettle at Sainsburys where it had been reduced from £50 to £33. Sadly despite the Morphy Richards 43121 meeting all of my requirements I was very much...

Morphy Richards Rice cooker - Too clever for me!

Advantages: An easy way to cook rice dishes
Disadvantages: Not suitable for small families due to the minimum cooking quantity

...A few months ago I read a review about a rice cooker and thought that, yes I could do with one of them. I settled on the Morphy Richards 48744 as to be honest that was the only one offered on the fact finders website and I thought I would use up some of my points. . The Rice and Pasta cooker is a mirrored silver colour with black handles with a toughened glass lid with a black handle and a steam hole. The cooker is 21 cm high without lid or 24cm with the lid and 28cm in diameter plus handles makes it 36cm. The cable is 90cm long. It fits nicely into one of my top wall mounted kitchen cabinets if the lid is turned upside down. The cooker is supplied with a pasta cooking pad, which is like a round piece of clear/white rubber with holes in it, a plastic measuring beaker and a small plastic white spatula. Inside the machine is a large...
