Great looking blender that works very well
This blender has a modern bright look so great in modern kitchens to add a splash of colour. Well made and easy to use. Has plenty of power for general purpose use. Easy to grip and handhold. Great multi-purpose item to have for daily use backed by a great brand name. Recommended
Looks gorgeous!
My husband said I spent longer choosing this kettle n toaster than I did picking the kitchen! Expensive so I wanted to get it right – no regrets PERFECT. They add the finishing touches to our kitchen and work great too. Absolutely love them
Excellent quality blender. Emma Bridgewater polka dot design is fun, bold and packs a punch.
I’ve owned many Russell Hobbs appliances before and found them to be excellent quality and very reliable so when I saw this 3 in 1 hand blender I jumped at the chance to order it.
Firstly I love that they have teamed up with Emma Bridgewater for the Polka Dot design which is so fun and bold and really does pack a punch.
The blender is excellent quality, powerful and does the job really well. It comes with a Detached Stainless Steel Blending Leg with Stainless Steel Blade; 700ml Capacity Beaker; 500ml Capacity Mini Chopper Attachment and Hand Whisk Attachment.
There are two speed settings; a slower speed for blending soups and a faster one for smoothies or shakes.
At 59.99 it’s very pricey for a hand blender however it does reflect the quality of the blender but most of all for the Emma Bridgewater design which you’re paying extra for.

Brightens up the kitchen & matches the toaster. Very efficient, speedy & quiet.
Very pretty, brightens up the kitchen.

This kettle makes me happy!
What a beautiful kettle! Looks amazing in my new kitchen and pours a little cup of sunshine with each use. Just looking at it makes me smile. Very quiet too! I bought alongside the matching toaster and although they were quite expensive combined, they’re worth every penny. I’m going to collect some other pills for stuff now!
Lovely toaster!
Gorgeous little toaster. Bought alongside the matching kettle and both look beautiful in my kitchen. Aside from looking aesthetically great, it cooks a nice bit of toast!

I love this colourful kettle which matches my blind. It adds a splash of colour to my all white kitchen.

Finally blender that doesnt look boring
Russell Hobbs blender with Emma Bridgewater Polka Dot design bring me so much joy. Its fun, bold, fresh and joyful. Finally kitchen appliance that doesnt look boring.
Regards the functionality, Russell Hobbs is my go to brand with products for kitchen and I always appreciate high quality and longevity of their products. With this blender is exactly the same. Highest quality, powerful blending and super easy to clean. There are few smart features that I like for example silicon removable base for chopper. It absorbs the vibrations and keep appliance in place so you dont need to hold it. Other clever thing is removable whisk so you can easily wash it in dishwasher.
Beautiful spot design.
Wonderful design, it looks like actual pottery in its style and I had this one but in black before and I do have to give a warning as the design is the same and the last one I killed without realising but when you use the mini chopper always make sure the blade is attached probably to the hole in the mini choppers lid if you do not do so and then start the blade you could end up like me were the hole in the mini choppers lid gets ripped apart ,like when you try to over do a screw with a electric screw driver but other than that everything works really well the hand blender blends everything very smooth so great when you don’t want anything that’s lumpy and for yummy smoothies, mini chopper is very quick at chopping and overall the machine is pretty quiet which is great as my daughter hates loud sounds.
Comes with:
mini chopper,
Whisk attachment,
Blender attachment,
Plastic jug.
Thank you for reading my review, I hope you found it helpful.
Looks nice and works great too
I have been very impressed with this hand blender from Russell Hobbs so far. The build quality seems great and the polka dot design is nice, it actually looks nicer in real life than in the promotional photos.
The immersion blender blended my smoothies/protein powder shakes and the soup very quickly and efficiently to a lovely smooth finish – and it was able to do so much quicker than my previous blender. It is perhaps a tiny bit louder than my previous blender due to being powered at 500 Watts but not exceedingly loud at all.
I am really glad it comes with a whisk attachment which is super handy for whisking small amounts that my stand mixer would struggle to whip up.
The beaker is great for making smoothies in – it also has handy graduations for measuring liquids.
The mini chopper has a detachable non-slip base which is very useful.
Love this!
My review here is for the electric hand blender, though I’m aware the current listing on Amazon is currently lumping together the kettle and toaster from the same range as this, altogether.
I absolutely love the blender. I had a simple plain one from about 10 years ago that I loved and used regularly but I dropped it a few months back and although it still works there is a chunk missing from the plastic guard around the blade.
This set is just as efficient and powerful and has some nice additions with the extra chopping attachment and obviously this set is so pretty and bright and colourful. It’s so easy to use and to wash up afterwards, I’m so glad to have replaced my old one and with such a bright and pretty replacement to boot!
Really Pretty
This is the second hand blender I have had with similar design and accessories.
It works really well and does the job excellently. I like the Emma Bridgewater design, it was easy to clean but was quite pricey, is the extra cost purely for the polka dot design?
Attractive and Effective
A very nice little hand blender. Perfect for making smoothies or preparing cooking products. There are two speed settings to choose from, allowing you to vary the extent that you want items to be pureed. The design is very attractive though perhaps adds quite a premium to the price. The quality and sturdiness is as you’d expect from the brand. An attractive and useful kitchen implement.
Cheaper than john lewis
My Perfect kettle. Cheaper than John Lewis. Smells a little when you first get it but it goes after a few boils.
Good Se
This is a really good set.
Blender Stick.
Whisk and Mini chopper.
All the functions work well.
The stick blender is a bit heavy (my old Bosch one is lighter).
The mini chopper is very easy to clean (my old one seems to trap water side the lid).
Very pleased with the set.
Dotty
I’m not sure why you would want your hand blender to match the Emma Bridgewater Polka Dots design since this is very unlikely to make it to the table along with your mug of tea, but the things you make with it probably will. Since you can get (amongst other items), plates, mugs, cutlery, oven gloves and a teapot in the design, if you are really into it, it would be dotty not to add a hand blender as well.
The design looks good on the blender and two of the attachments, all of which feel sturdily up to the job of chopping, blending and mixing. It comes with a two year guarantee, which can be extended to three years if you register within 28 days of purchase at the Russell Hobbs site – that’s well worth doing and should make things easier if you ever need to claim.
Although I only have a polka dot mug, I do like the design on the hand blender; it feels very cheery. The blender itself is well made and, if you like polka dots or Emma Bridgewater in general, it is worth considering.
A great looking blender from a top name brand
Russell Hobbs is always a reliable brand and this hand blender is no exception, the build quality is very high and it comes with four separate attachments. It has two speeds which is handy and we use it for soups which it mixes superbly, we also use it to blend food for our granddaughter which it’s excellent for, very pleased with this, love the polka dot aesthetics as well!
Works perfectly looks fu
Russel Hobbs hand blenders tend to be great, strong, sturdy and last a long time, I’ve owned 2 over a period of 15 years which is great value for money! This version is no exception and has a great fun look.
I honestly haven’t heard of Emma Bridgewater Polka Dot Design, had no idea Russel Hobbs had partnered with this brand and created this blender and other items kettles etc. Perhaps this is why the cost of this hand blender seems a bit high, the design is described as iconic so I presume you pay almost double for the same type of blender but in this dotty design. The colours are nice, I personally think polka dots shouldn’t cost this much but if you like the brand and want a well made and useful hand blender then this is a great buy. Versatile and well made.
Really lovely kettle
Simply love this kettle
Also purchased the Emma bridge water pot holder to use with it but it is not necessary to
Do that
Need to boil some water in it a few times before using it to make drinks
Love the polka dots. Ended up buying the whole range. Two little things though, the kettle and toaster are a definite cream, but the biscuit barrel and the rest of the range are more of a white background. I found that disappointing considering it was more expensive than other kettles, and the rest of the range is also more expensive. The other slight problem is the noise the kettle makes when it’s boiled. It sounds flimsy so I hope it’s not going to stop working.
Looks fabulous
I love this. I bought it as I had to replace my kettle and saw this as well, so decided to replace both. When they arrived I loved them so much I bought all the other Emma Bridgewater kitchen accessories in the polka dot range.

Love this kettle. Goes perfectly in my colourful kitchen, and pours really smoothly.

Stunning kettle bought one for my mum as well ! I had been looking for a new kettle for ages and this caught my eye.
Good but pricey!
Bought as a present, overpriced IMO, but Emma Bridgewater, hence the inflated price. But as described!
Lovely to look a
Just had to go with this stylist looking kettle. It is a bit pricey for a kettle which is why I only gave 8 stars, but hey if you like nice things in your kitchen what the heck! Comfortable handle and quick boiling what else can you want from a kettle?
Beautiful, Stunning
Beautiful !!!
Everyone comments how cute they are.
Note# are cream in colour not white as pictures look online (cream goes better with natural colours and textures) shame none of the pictures I saw looked actually cream
No splashes
This is a great kettle which pours without splashing. My only criticism is that it is a little heavy for me when full otherwise perfect and nice and colourful.

As advertised
I liked everything about the kettle. The only problem is I’m left handed and the kettle sits on my work surface with the on light away from me as I need to lift the kettle with my left hand.

Couldn’t resist buying this toaster. I was still using my old 4 slot one which I didn’t need anymore because I live alone now. Struggled with myself being part of the throw away society but gave in because I found it so attractive even though it was fairly pricey. But hey it performs brilliantly and I am pleased with i

Love the design of this kettle, so bought the toaster as well. So cheery.
Good, stylish kettle
Brightens up the kitchen and pours extremely well. We like it!
Nice but...
Nice kettle, my wife loves the design.
Ours took a long time – weeks, before the water stopped tasting of plastic. It’s fine now though.

LOOKS GOOD AND PERFORMS WELL
This toaster was selected from many others on it’s looks. All too often products that look a little different lack the performance of other more traditional looking items. This is not the case with this toaster it works just as well as any I have owned and I am very pleased with it.
Highly recommended
Fabulous. Not only looks great, also a really good toaster. Quick and great toas

Brilliant but a little expensive.
Design is brilliant, toast thick slices of bread or rolls, crumpets. Toast to our satisfaction too. However quite expensive for a toaster.

Fishy smell
I love this kettle but in less than a year it has a very fishy smell whenever it boils – no amount of bicarb soda, white vinegar or limescale remover has taken it away. So disappointed especially given it was not cheap.
Really stylish
Delivered on time and ideally packaged. The kettle looks elegant and looks brilliant. So pleased I brought it. It’s is very quiet when boiling and pours well.

Lovely
Really pleased with this. Used for first time this morning and makes good toast. I’m glad it has the crumb tray. Makes me smile every time I see it. Love the design. Thank you!
Just Perfec
I have now got the kettle and toaster from this range and just love it. Looks very smart in my new kitchen and work well with three different settings on the toaster, I do not just mean for toasting . There is a setting if you pop your toast in cannot get back to it straight away, it just warms it up so the butter melts……..nice!!
Really happy with this. Been looking at it for awhile as I thought it was a little expensive but glad I decided to go for i
I’ve just received my kettle today, and I’m amazed at how beautiful and fast it is compared to my old one. I love it, it’s gorgeous, easy to use and so quick. I also love the fact that it’s cordless. Awesome produc
This is a fab asset to my country cottage, it does what it says on the tin. Well made, easy to follow instructions, and complements my Emma Bridgewater Kettle. I also learnt an interesting fact from the instructions that when we toast bread this is known as the ‘ Maillard Reaction’ in essence a chemical reaction takes place between the bread and the controlled heat of the toaster. You can tell we are in Lockdown when I actually read the instructions from page to page to extract a new fact!!
Although quite chunky compared to my last toaster I’m sure I will get used to it as it is so pretty. Lovely cheerful fun design to brighten my mornings. Background colour is a proper cream and not the very pale almost white colour. Bought it whilst on offer otherwise would have been quite expensive but hoping my family will buy me the matching kettle. Some matching tea clothes would be wonderful too designers!!!
Love, love, love this kettle!!
Love the look of this kettle and it’s so much faster and quieter than my old Morphy Richards kettle. Great addition to my Emma Bridgewater collection.

Kettle on ligh
Love the colour and feel of this kettle, I have only had it a day so am not sure how it will fare long term yet. However, it is important to know that the red light when you switch it on is only on one side of the kettle. I use mine with my left hand so the light cannot be seen as it is facing the wall. Not a problem if you are right handed or have it facing that direction.
Great produc
This is the first toaster I’ve ever bought that toasts properly
Super kettle, stylish and quie
This is a fantastic kettle, so quiet and boils very quickly. Looks absolutely gorgeous too
Stylish toaste
It’s a very nice toaster, stylish and fun.
It’s got 4 slots and toasts evenly, as well as speedily.
It has a defrost function too, though I’m not sure I have a need for that. Usually, I toast bread whether frozen or not so I’m not sure what scenario I’d use that for.
Ultimately, this is a pretty toaster that looks nice on the side.
Would recommend
Bought this as it matched my other Emma Bridgewater things. Haven’t been disappointed.
Love my kettle!
Brings colour into my kitchen and boils quickly and quietly. Perfect!
dotty about the kettle!
I LOVE this kettle! It is lightweight, quiet and looks amazing.
Spots before my eyes
Lovely looking kettle, great size and and fits very well in my kitche
Good looking but slightly flawed
Nice looking kettle but water doesn’t always boil hot enough.
Well packaged, does what it should
Well packaged inside an amazon box, looks as expected, cooks toast well. My son is very happy
Fantastic - now have to rearrange the kitchen!
Originally got this for my daughter to take away to uni, but unfortunatly , due to rules, she couldnt take it. So we decided to try to fit it into the kitchen.
The design is fantastic, really stylish. Mirrored finish really looks amazing in a tidy kitchen. The spots on either side give it the unique look too. Problem is, we now want more spotty things in the ktichen!.
The toaster is clearly not just an orniment though, and it toasts perfectly. Multiple options, from frozen, different eats, etc. I was also impressed that compared to our previous toaster, the slots are alot wider. Meaning we have more options to fit bagels and the like without having to squeeze them in.
Love this!
Really pretty!!!
As expected, really pretty!!!! Have requested the toaster to match for Christmas!!!
Cool design and good quality
It looks so nice in a cream kitchen. Of course you need to like the type of design. It works well and it is fast in boiling the water. It is silent while in use. Only tiny issue is that the cup it’s too hot and you have to be carefull when removing it. But after the first use, you’ll learn. The kettle has a removable filter, that can be easly washed.
Nice toaste
Really lovely toaster it toasts bread lovely and nice wide slots. Very very pretty
Makes me smile and gri
A lovely addition to our kitchen. Makes me smile to look at it and makes me grin to have perfect toas
Lovely desig
I really like the Emma Bridgewater polka dots design and so was delighted to be able to try this toaster featuring this cute and fun pattern. It toasts up to four slices – or crumpets – at once, does a good job, has easy functionality and really does look nice on the kitchen worktop. Ideally it sits best if you have space to be able to see at least one if not both of the sides when it is on display, as this is where the pattern is, otherwise if you can only see the front section with the controls on, you miss out on being able to see the lovely dotty pattern.
Fast boil!
Lovely designed kettle. With a sturdy handle even when full. Boiling is extremely fast and quality is very high end. Looking at a matching toaster now! Lovely product though and worth the purchase if your in need for a new appliance.
Great toaste
Love it and will be buying more emma Bridge wate
Trendy toaster!
This toaster is easy to use and stylish for a modern kitchen. I have other Emma bridgewater design products so it fits in well in my kitchen. I like the design. It’s also great if you have a big family or guests as it has 4 slots so you can put in up to 4 pieces of bread at a time.
We often have bagels and these fit in easily into the slots when cut in half.
It has a tray beneath as most toasters do for easy removal of crumbs. The toaster is also easy to clean with a smooth exterior.
I found initially that the settings are a little higher than in previous toasters. So need to be careful on first roasting perhaps try a lower setting then dial it up accordingly!
stylish designer kettle from the Emma Bridgewater collection.
his is a beautiful stylish kettle from the polkadot range by Emma Bridgewater in collaboration with Russel Hobbs. powerful 3000w and fast boiling and the ability to save energy by boiling small amounts of water quickly…… and quieter boil technology. large 1.7ltr capacity allows upto 8cups to be made from 1 single boil.
Superb kettle - great desig
First of all – it looks stunning in our kitchen. The Emma Bridgewater polka dot design on the kettle is so stylish.
It is well made, excellent quality and certainly up there as one of the best Russell Hobbs products. The lid is extremely well fitting and easy to lift off to fill up: not always the case with some kettles. A perfect spout makes pouring drip free and smooth. It boils quickly and quietly and there is an easy to read water level gauge.
Highly recommended.
Got these free of charge to review love the spotty design and it’s size and features are good. I expected a white colour with solid dots but it’s more a cream colour and the dots are not solid. Still love how this looks and would be awesome to have the kettle to match . These are quiet pricey and I would not be able to budget for this but if opportunity arises I would love the full set as it’s a lovely colourful design. Noticed underneath there is grooves can feed wire in to prevent extra cable on show and few choices of where the cable can be positioned. Both toaster sections have removable crumb trays. The toaster is a decent width and crumpets fit easily, toast always seems to come out bit darker one side than the other and the depth could do with adjusting to prevent the incomplete distribution of heat to the bread. Overall all the features work quite well and it looks great, only negative is about the price and uneven toasting to the bread.
I’m comparing this against our regular Bosch fliptop kettle which cost around 50. This Russell Hobbs / Emma Bridgewater collaboration certainly looks nice (if the cutesy style is what you’re going for!) and feels nice and robust in comparison. The majority of the unit is plastic with some metal around the spout, lid etc. The polka dots look like they’re hand painted which makes it stand out from a standard spotty kettle you could buy from the supermarket.
Positives
* As claimed, it’s definitely quieter when boiling – in fact, a couple of times I went off to do something else and hadn’t realised it had finished.
* The water level indicator on the side is pretty standard these days but is a nice touch with this shape of kettle. It’s surprising how little you have to fill it to get to full!
* The pour action is nice with no spillages or splashing, even when full. The filter seems to slow the water down a bit so you can be quite precise when pouring.
* The base has a nice discreet wrap-around for the cable so it should look good on your worktop.
Negatives
* The top handle seems overly large for the rest of the unit and feels a bit too plasticky for me. It seems like they’ve added it on as an afterthought without looking at the rest of the design.
* Removing the lid to fill the kettle each time proves to be a bit of pain. We have had fliptop kettles for a while now and you forget what a faff it is trying to lift off a boiling hot lid to fill the kettle up with water again. You *could* pour the water straight into the spout of course but I found that the filter on the spout meant that the water splashed back out as you were filling it.
* The quiet boil is apparently linked to your level of limescale. The manual says that, as your kettle gets more scale, it will likely get louder. You can descale it of course but worth bearing in mind depending on the type of water in your area.
Overall, I don’t think I would justify 80 to change over from my Bosch fliptop kettle which works perfectly well. The noise level when it’s boiling is definitely quieter but I’ve never really found the volume of a kettle something I want to reduce. In fact, I think it’s a nice sound – it only lasts a minute or so and means a nice cup of tea is on the way! However, if you are a fan of Emma Bridgewater’s designs or you’re looking for something cute and fun as a new kettle, this is worth considering. As others have pointed out though, it is a lot cheaper to buy to the non-Bridgewater version if it’s the shape your after!
Beautiful looking kettle
If you like the cream colour as a theme in your kitchen but want to add other colours then this is ideal as it’s got different colour polka dots.
Russell Hobbs and Emma Bridgewater.
This is a 1.7L stainless steel kettle it is 3000W but saves you upto 66% on energy, it will boil 1 cup in 45 seconds.
The kettle has quiet boil technology – upto 70% quieter than other kettles.
The kettle comes with 3 years guarantee.
We think this is a beautiful looking kettle but at 79.99 it is a bit on the pricey side for a kettle but they always are when they first come out.
Join the Dots
Resplendent in multi- colouted polka dots this 1.71 base coloured cream electric kettle adds a hint of femininity to my all Male houshold.
With a very quiet operation and energy efficiency (up to 66%) according to the manufacturer ( brand leader Russell Hobbs ) this makes a lovely cup of tea or coffee or whatever .
The Emma Bridgewater motif is in fact a whole range of kitchen items from buscuit tins to a toaster, ( the latter also in cahoots with Russell Hobbs). Get them all and you will have dots before your eyes!
This is a really nice kettle if a little pricey (though comes with a 3 year guarantee) but if you want style as well as substance it may well be worth splashing out for.
Brilliant, faultless. Classy
We adore this already. Boils really fast, great smooth pour, the lid comes off so smoothly, there’s a lively fine mesh to stop any future limescale coming through.
The switch has a nice positive action and the water level gauge is clear.
Really love the look, it’s set off on out black work surfaces brilliantly.
Nice design!
Good large size toaster.
This is perfect for our family for 4 as we all eat toast in the morning.
The toaster is for 4 slices at once so we can all have one before making more.
Nice design toaster from a good brand.
The toasts comes out tanned just the way I like it.
Delightful Emma Bridgewater Design plus Russell Hobbs Tech + Great Toaster!
This marriage of a delightful Emma Bridgewater Polka Dot Design and the trusted manufacturer of kitchen electrics ,Russell Hobbs has produced a fine toaster here. With six toasting settings, plus wider slots allowing for thicker bread slices, muffins, teacakes, crumpets or bagels, means that just about all options are covered. It has defrost and ‘reheat’ functionality, and they claim that it can toast 48% quicker, and having tried it out, I can vouch for a quicker toasting time. It’s also relatively compact, and its soft, curvy lines would highlight any kitchen. Not much more to say other than it really is a smart piece of kit. At around the 80 price tag, it may be a little high-end cost wise for some would-be purchasers.
very useful, large toaster with wide toasting sections
This is an excellent toaster which will toast 4 slices of bread, or crumpets at once, with two controls – each for two slices. We like quite thick bread so the wide toasting sections are perfect for us. The controls are very easy to use, and the bread comes out as brown as you wish through adjusting the simple controls.
The toaster is quite large and works best placed lengthwise against the wall to enable easy access to the controls on the front. If space in your kitchen is at a premium you may want to consider the two slice version- if not the 4 slice one is very convenient, for example by allowing toast to be done to different browning levels for different tastes at the same time
The polka dot design is unusual so will be matter of taste, but we like it – it is quite retro, and somehow modern at the same time
