This is best kettle we have ever had. It looks great, simple and smart on my kitchen worktop. Dark grey makes water marks invisible. I like the kettle top, that is easy to open and pour water. At the same time it is easy to clean it. Keep heat function is awesome. I love that you can set the temperature and it stays warm for quite a long time. So many different temperature options, the temperature is shown as it heats up gradually so it starts from 40c and gets up to the desired temperature you wish . I also like the keep warm feature which not more boiling hot water that burn my childs mouth. The kettle is heats up quickly and so quiet. I am extremely impressed with this kettle and is my new favourite appliance.

I have to be honest. I don’t think this kettle is attractive at all. I’m disappointed by the way it looks but it’s a really great kettle in terms of function. I’ve never seen a kettle with adjustable temperatures before. It’s really handy for making hot drinks with as I know that using boiling water can scald coffee beans and make the drink taste more bitter, so having the option to get your water heated to a more appropriate temperature is really great.

I have never owned a kettle that costs as much as this one, so I was curious to see just how much better it would be. For nearly 90, I can’t quite justify the price, but I must say that this kettle has some very nice features, and it works great. Instead of your traditional flick switch it is instead turned on via a stop/start button. There are also two arrow buttons which enable you to alter the temperature at which it boils. You can choose 95 degrees for a cup of coffee, or a lower temperature to be able to brew some tea. It is just as noisy as every other kettle I have owned, but it boils quickly and the keep warm feature means it doesn’t have to be boiled again if someone else wants a drink. It keeps the water warm for around 40 minutes, and the white lights give you a clear reading of how hot the water is. It is very convenient feature which makes life much easier. The fact that you don’t have to keep boiling it means that it also saves energy and that is a big bonus these days. Overall, I think it is a great kettle and although it is on the pricier side, I must say that I love it. The design is modern and the quality is top of the line, and the drinks taste great thanks to the spout filter. I can’t recommend it enough. 5*

The look of this kettle has divided opinion in this house. In a way it looks quite elegant, but there’s something about the large (kitchentop-hogging) black base unit that looks rather like the bottom of a 1960’s era Dalek. In black- sorry ‘graphite gray’- it’s a bit oppressive, and it won’t suit all kitchens.

Functionally though, the temperature control is a really key useful feature. The display showing the current temperature of the water lets you decide whether to reboil the kettle when you realise you needed two cups of tea instead of one (which happens surprisingly often in this house), and the ability to boil to a specific level is really handy for situations where you just want a specific level of warm rather than boiling. It’s an energy-saver, though if all you normally do with your kettle is boil water to 100 degrees for normal cups of tea, you won’t really make use of that feature very much.

It’s surprisingly loud, as kettles go. Somehow the base unit acts as a bit of an amplifier for the bassier tones, it’s a kettle that grumbles and groans like a long earthquake, not a very hissy sound yet really quite noisy.

It’s also not all that quick, surprisingly, despite it being fairly power-hungry at 2400W. As with another kettle we used to have (that wore out), getting to 90 degrees is fairly quick, it’s the last little push that seems to take the longest time.

I think this kettle really only makes sense for people who will really make use of the variable temperature targeting and keep warm functions. For more regular household use, it’s overkill and somewhat overpriced. For me it’s somewhere between 3 stars and 4 stars.

Kettle comes arrive well packaged. The kettle itself is graphite grey, so basically grey but it does have some sparkles to it which is an attractive design, Its very easy to use.

The start stop is as you expect, like you on / off leaver. The up and down button increase and decrease the temp selection and the final button is a keep warm button. Up top on the kettle is a button to press which pops open the lid.

Now the highlight of this kettle and why it commands a premium is the number of temps you can select. 7 options is plenty and allows you to brew teas or warm water without boiling then adding cold water etc to balance things out, One person in house loves warm water with honey, so for them 60 degrees is good. Others, green tea at 80 degrees and others 100 degree for there black coffee, the ability to select temp works wonders here.

Now the stay warm button can be used to select any temp at 95 degrees and under. Makes sense really as at 100 degrees the water is boiling away. so you will need to drop the temp button down one if your at 100 degrees before being able to use stay warm.

A neat thing is if you select 100 degrees for example, the LED’s will light up as the water reach’s that temp. So if you select 100 but then want 80 degrees, simply take the kettle off / stop it once the 80 degree light shows.

Now its not the quickest boiler. Tap water (pretty cold at the moment to be fair) took 3 mins to heat up 1 litre to 100 degrees and turn off. Lower temps obviously were hit quicker as it takes longer for each step towards the end.

Either way, want a kettle with lots of temp options, you cannot go wrong here.

We like everything about this kettle no more to say now saving up for the matching toaste
