Russell Hobbs 20412 Stainless Steel Electric Kettle, 1.7 Litre, Red

Works well. Looks good. Very pleased

I bought this kettle over two and a half years ago and it is still going strong now after being used several times per day every day since purchase. It seems that most (or possibly all) Russell Hobbs kettles are 3000W, so you can probably shop around for something a little more energy efficient, but for something that works extremely well, lasts a decent length of time, has good ergonomic design and looks alright then this one is hard to beat. If you fill the kettle almost to the top, it does take a little while to boil as you would expect, but if just boiling enough water to make two or three cups of tea then it boils quickly. The water pours out of the spout easily and quickly without being prone to spilling everywhere.I really can't find any fault with this kettle and would recommend.

Love my new kettle,works very well.only gave it four stars as the red matalic on the lip of the kettle is coming off.Thankfully you can’t see it when the lid is closed.Im still glad I bought it.

We have used this Which? recommended kettle for several years. You can boil a small quantity of water and it's very fast. It's fairly quiet and the kettle itself is very light. This may be useful if you don't have a lot of strength for one reason or another.The first one we had lasted several years and we liked it so much that we bought another one to replace it.

I bought it as a gift. My sister likes it.

Worth the price and boils very quickly. Good performance. Easy to use.

Decent kettle. Its functionality is good with quick boil speed and pourability. The noise level is low with a high water level. Plastic material makes it easy to clean.

So I purchased this kettle after reading and weighing up a lot of reviews. Which I think almost all customers do before purchasing. I bought this to replace a cheap plastic kettle which has given 3 or 4 years of good service but was showing it's age and didn't go with the toaster. Some of the reviews mentioned this kettle was quite noisy but others said it was quiet. For me it's a bit more noisy than my previous kettle but I believe that this is because the Russel Hobbs one is metal and my old one plastic as I've mentioned. But it's not so noisy that it would put me off buying it again. It's quite solid and feels good to use so I'm happy to recommend it.
