Our old kettle finally keeled over after dying a long, slow death, in come the new one!
As for the practical bits : it comes with clear and easy instructions to initially clean (fill it and boil it twice basically), assembly is foolproof, there is also the basic information you could need as well as telling that the three ‘tags’ at the bottom of the kettle represent 1, 2 and 3 mugs of tea when filled up to the corresponding number, handy if you want to save energy and time for a quick cuppa(s)!
My partner was very picky as, apparently, how a kettle looks and how its color matches the toaster is important!? It looks ok I guess, a bit cheap looking for 30 pound in my opinion, but what do I know? Apart from how it looks (judge for yourself) it does the job well and quickly, comes with a wine voucher for some reason too, will have to see if its a good deal or not, a thank you note for purchasing is a nice little touch too to be fair!
Nice kettle great design apart from seeing water level. It is behind the handle which makes it difficult. I know a lot of kettles like this. Those that design need to look again!!!!
Fairly quiet. There is one water scale slightly obscured by handle, but there are 3 red markers inside the kettle to give rough idea of filling for 1 to 3 cups
Lid is separate to the main kettle. 2 year warranty supposed to be 3 if registered online, but only showed as 2024 rather than 2025.
This kettle is excellent nice a lightweight and easy pouring water into the cups without any spilling. 100% happy as it’s more e energy efficient than my previous one so has to be better .
Pleased with this kettle – comfortable to hold, pour from & fill. Nice contemporary design. Seems quick to boil & easy to read measure gauge so you don’t boil more than necessary.
Really good but a bit hard to see the scale on the side
It does what it described. Its not that noisy, but i guess it depends what your previous model was it. The lid can come off completely from the kettle so i got a feeling that it will one day come lose when i try to pour water. So better hold the lid while pouring hot water. But other than that it is light and good price.
Looks fabulous, very stylish, have been using for a month and very happy, it doesn’t spit like some other kettles can when pouring very hot water, also is quiet when boiling compared to other kettles I have had.
Good quality fast boil kettle. Got the Cream to match my Kitchen only downside I find
It quite heavy.
Brilliant buy, the white colour goes perfect with the rest of our kitchen and the kettle looks like it’s really high quality.
I’ve only had it for one day so I can’t comment on longevity etc but it works absolutely fine and I’m really happy I got it Can’t go wrong with a Russel Hobbs kettle!
Beautiful kettle with all the stops and whistles. I bought the cream ine as it goes well with my kitchen. I previously ordered a more expensive kettle but had to return it. I’m so pleased with this Russell Hobbs one though. It’s lightweight, has easy to see measures inside and outside and has an easy to open lid and an ergonomic handle. Would definitely recommend (and I’m fussy)!
Nice stylish look.
After using 1 year- sometimes does not swithch off itself when water boils.
Very pleased with this kettle. Boils quickly and relatively quie
Excellent a kettle that looks smart in my kitchen, is light weight and above all QUIET. I have had a few kettles in my 52years of marriage, First was the Russell Hobbs (now classed as retro) would have bought this one again, but too expensive. So decided to go back to Russell Hobbs and try this one. So glad I did, everything I wanted, even easy to lift an take lid off, arthritus in fingers.
Its made of plastic but GREAT quality. I wasnt sure when it turned up and I realised it was actually plastic, but it can’t scratch or dent so that’s brillaint! Probs the best kettle I have had. Looks really modern and sma
My second of these, I had a red one for couple of years before we decorated kitchen and switched to black accessories so got this as its a great lightweight kettle, it’s all plastic but lid is secure and looks stylish
In a budget hotel, you don’t get a kettle unless you ask for it. In these ‘staying safe’ days, I would rather have my own. Boiled super fast, didn’t matter that it only did 1 cup at a time,(that’s what it stated in the description) because it boiled fast. Glad I bought it, and the fact that it folds down is wonderful.
I didn’t NEED to replace my last Russell Hobbs kettle which had been used for twenty years and was still going strong, but splashed out on a new one anyway to co-ordinate more with my new kitchen.
Wasn’t sure about the horizontal ridges, but actually it’s fine. I’m really happy with this kettle. It’s very quiet, it boils reasonably fast, and it pours very well. It’s also light, and the lid is easy to remove leaving a big opening for refilling. The lid also goes back on easily and securely. The cream colour co-ordinates well with wood and other cream/grey surroundings and looks great.
Ignore the reviews from people disgusted that the interior is plastic. Chemicals don’t leach into water; it doesn’t affect the taste; this is all nonsense.
Well done, Russell Hobbs. Another product that will probably be in use for another twenty years. It could even see me out.
Looks amazing, although not the easiest to clean when limescale builds up. The filter is not great too, i still get limescale fall into my tea.
This is a great looking kettle. I bought a plastic kettle as I was fed up with the scale that built up on my metal kettle. It is light weight, boils quickly and looks good. My only complaint is that it takes ages for the plastic taste in the water to disappear. It took a good few weeks until I could use the water for weak teas without tasting plastic.
We spent ages reading all the reviews on kettles before I nearly lost the will to live and eventually just went with one that looked good and was cost-effective. How lucky was I? We boiled and rinsed 3 times before using it and this kettle was amazing from then on. Boils fast, fills easily, looks good, and most importantly plugs into our Alexa plug and she turns it on from every room in our house. Recommand.
I was dreading the arrival of this kettle given reviews in general for kettles.
Love it, thought it might be light and plastic looking but it has a good moderate weight. Quick boil and to me it isn’t noisy – another dread reading general kettle reviews. I took days and finally took a chance and I am a very satisfied purchaser.
I love this kettle and it’s even better than what I was expecting. Easy to wipe clean not too noisy when heating the water too. And looks very stylish in my new kitchen with the matching toaster .
I have used them both and I’m really pleased they work well the kettle is fairly quiet and quick to the boil. The toaster has very good responses and a keep warm button. Really happy with this purchase.
Love the look and works really well. Unfortunately the first one arrived dented but customer service was great and sent another one the next day. It’s bigger than I was expecting and fairly heavy but I love i
This was a gift to me along with matching toaster
It’s a nice quick boiling kettle
Light when empty I can’t lift when full but I can’t anyway due to physical pains etc but son tells me it’s easy to pou
I purchased the kettle and toaster as my toast had just stopped working. I bought them together so it was cheaper as I wanted the kettle to match and they’ve never let me down yet fingers crossed I absolutely love them, the only one strange thing is on the toaster you have to push the right side down first before you can use the left side which I’ve never seen before but that doesn’t really matter I just thought I would let people know encase they thought there toaster was broke lol ( it’s not ) but a stunning pai
Excellent in most ways, but the transparent strip that allows you to see how full it is is aligned with the handle, and difficult to see when filling the kettle. It would be much better 90 degrees to the left of the handle, so it could easily be seen when filling.
Replaced my last one which lasted 2.5 years. A bit noisy, not that fast but it doesn’t seem to suffer with lime scale that much so looked good with just a wipe. Very pleased with it’s performance.
The kettle matches our toaster perfectly. Whilst all kettles just boil water and the is nothing terribly exciting about one, we are absolutely delighted with its appearance, quality and price. And it comes with a three (I think) year guarantee. Well worth the little extra.
Bought to use as a one cup boil kettle and does not dissapoint as this does boil very fast and you dont have to walk away and wait as boil time is around 40 secounds so a great product thanks
Great kettle, I bought a black one for parents and a grey one for me. They both look good, are quiet, boil quickly. A review for a kettle may seem pointless to some people but there are some rubbish one’s out there. This one is definitely worth the money that Amazon sells it for.
Love the style of this product. Although I did nearly send it back due to horrible tasting water out of the kettle. Finally got rid of it by boiling a few lemons inside the kettle letting it cool down and repeating a few times.
Lightweight and easy to use. I was a little unsure about the removable lid as my previous one was a click button to open it but I soon got used to this one. Good white colour to go with my new kitchen although a little bit plastic looking. I still like its style though and it certainly boils quickly. Very happy.
Kettle great. I know it’s plastic but could not decide which kettle to have and during look down could not go and look at them in shop. Took the decision to get toaster and kettle until I could view Smeg ones. Well I am very pleased with my purchase and won’t be rushing to change until they break down.
Lovely looking kettle. I only bought it temporary to get my canister fixed. I will keep it though. I thought it was a bit heavy to lift when it’s over half way and it’s better looking and boils faster haha. So if I didn’t struggle with picking things up it would be ideal. Love the colour too.
I absolutely love this! I spent weeks reading reviews and comparing and I’m so happy u bought this. Its very quiet, boils fast, easy to clean and it’s beautiful on the eyes! I’m so pleased with my purchase. I cant wait to get the toaster ! Some people complained about taste,mine was amazing, I boiled 3 different sets of water throughout the day allowing it to clean itself then on the 4th boil i used it and it was find. Trust me this is a keeper and with 3yrs warranty why are you looking elsewhere?
Very pleased with my kettle Looks good bought it with the matching toaster Looks good bought it with the matching toaster The kettle The kettle reasonably quiet and It is a fast boil The only down side I would say is the water gauge is under the handle Making it a little difficult to see how much water it’s in the kettle
Excellent value for money, the kettle looks really smart too, the rapid boil is the best I’ve had in a kettle so far. The kettle is really light weight which initially I thought felt cheap however when the kettle is full is really a bonus as its lighter to lift.
Lid is totally detachable so easy to fill.
Excellent design and looks expensive.
Lightweight, quick to boil, quiet kettle. Plastic sides but none of the “odours and tastes” others complain about. Take out of the packaging, a couple of initial “freshen up” boils and off you go ..good all round attractive kettle..does all that anyone could ask it to.
I really like this kettle, it’s stylish and I bought grey to fit incoming new kitchen. It’s large, quiet, easy clean and boils fast but I must admit I was a bit disappointed with it being so plastic-y at that price. But it does the job better than old one and looks the business. I should have read description more carefully.
he kettle is fine had it only one day so canot give full stars yet but I like the soindless quality, minimal sound that is. I can now watch tv and hear the tv!!! 2 questions I think are unsuitable hence low mark.. flavour and warmth , don’t understand…water tastes the same and warmth hmm maybe it gives ambiance to the room …
I am so pleased with my new kettle i purchased it with a bit of hesitation as i had read some of the reviews, but because i really liked the design i went ahead with my purchase and i’m glad to say there is no tainted smell of plastic that some people have experienced. i would recommend this kettle, in fact i have ordered a second one for my daughter.
Love this kettle, it looks great. It boils really quickly so that’s ideal and the lid lifts off really easily compared to other kettles I’ve had. I’ve got the matching toaster as well and its a lovely set.
Excellent kettle which was purchased after another make was returned because it was broken. This one is solidly made, and I would now no longer go back to using one with a hinged lid as this removeable one is so much more practical.
White and stylish. Just what I was looking for, sleek but unique design, feels nice to hold. Boils quietly and fast
Good quality product. Really happy with this purchase.
I cannot believe how classy this kettle looks.
I had searched through products and reviews for about two weeks looking for a nice looking kettle that wouldn’t have limescale.
I was drawn to this one because of the little filter at the top.
So picture on Amazon does not do it justice as to what a lovely looking kettle this is.
It looks stylish, boils quickly, and isn’t the loudest kettle that we’ve ever had.
We’ve only been using it a week so I can’t say what the buildup of limescale will be but as the body of the kettle is plastic it surely has to be less than the last one I had which was chrome. There is a small amount of metal at the bottom of this kettle where limescale may build up over months, but as I said it has a small filter to prevent bits from coming through into your drink. Absolutely absolutely amazing purchase.
The kettle boils quickly and shuts off without over boiling the water.
It looks great and matches my toaster which was the main reason I purchased this particular kettle.
Only downside is that it is made of plastic (though seems to be a really good quality plastic), which is obviously not environmentally friendly. I am trying my best to buy things and live a lifestyle that is more in tune with the environment, so not happy with myself about this. My last kettle was made of glass but did not last long (only a year). I hope this lasts at least 5 years, fingers crossed.
What can you say about a kettle… It boils water!!!
This one does however does have a filter much like a tea strainer which can be removed and cleaned, I guess great for hard water areas.
Has a very tactile casing and no complicated buttons to open the lid, it has a good old fashioned removable one
Very retro look , light cream , lots of people are complaining about the plastic inside , lots a kettles have plastic inside, is fine with me , is very sile
An excellent kettle for the price. Despite being very plastic and therefore not everyone’s taste it is a surprisingly stylish kettle. We went for the grey model which blends well with the kitchen. In regard to its functionality, its superb. It boils a single cup very quickly and even full well within the 2 min. Top marks on boiling. Its easy to clean, the lid fits perfectly and the spout is very well designed so no spillages. The only markdown is the cup level window. It is not that easy to see, a bit small and located behind the handle. Takes it down half a mark so overall 4.5 but at a little over 30 its an excellent value kettle.
This kettle replaced my Russell Hobbs kettle which finally needing replacing after several years. I chose another Russell Hobbs because I had been pleased with my previous two. So far I have had no problems with the new one. It is the style and capacity I like. I live in an area with very hard water, so furring can be a problem, but I am used to dealing with this. I would have no hesitation about buying this kettle again.
This kettle has stylish modern lines and looks good on my kitchen worktop. It boils quickly and pours well. The on/off switch lights up blue do you have no doubt if it’s on or not I’m very satisfied with it as good value for money and appearance A few slight negatives. The clear window does not go all the way to the bottom so if boiling a small amount of water you don’t know how much is in it. The top needs to be lifted off, in retrospect I wish it had a pop up lid this would make filling a bit easier.
We’ve had it for 2 months and it’s been great. No issues with water flavour that some people mentioned. It’s super light, easy to gauge water levels, easy to fill and clean. No complaints. It’s much lighter than our old metal kettle which is a real plus.
Its higher rated than most expensive kettles are and you can’t go wrong for this price!
I know its plastic but we’ve got really hard water which always clings to the rim of a metal kettle and I end up scratching it off so hopefully the plastic will prevent this happening
Its lightweight and its got a large rim making it easy to remove the strainer
The colour and design make it ideal for my kitche
I have tried and tested many kettles over the past couple of years, living in a hard water area we have a bad problem with limescale, we double filter the cold water before putting it in the kettle as straight from the tap is a no no !! This kettle is the nut’s, easy to clean inside and out, great handle which seems slightly wider than normal for easy grip, just fantastic i love it !!!!!!!!!!
Overall she is pleased with her new kettle.
I really like this kettle. It’s one of the nicest kettles I’ve had. It is much quieter than some I’ve had. It’s easy to pour, no drips and isn’t heavy. Only downside is occasionally it doesn’t click off when it’s boiled but as I’m usually nearby it isn’t an issue for me. I bought the matching toaster.
The only scale that happens is on the bottom, easily cleaned. But the BEST remedy for scale is don’t use water straight from the faucet. Hello! Use filtered water.
It is lovely to look at…goes nicely with our Longhi coffee maker and our Krups grinder…all black and chrome.
Yes, it is plastic on the inside as it is on the outside. But the bottom is stainless steel as are all the important parts.
This is hardly that expensive. A full-on stainless steel kettle puts the wallet back a few. I find this price well worth it, since it works like a dream…quietly, quickly, and hotly… ;0)
and ….it Lasts!
I bought this to go with my toaster, it’s lightweight easy to clean and rapidly boils. Inside it has a good feature that you can easily measure 1,2,and 3 cups if you so wish. On the outside is also an indicator that shows the quantity of water in the kettle, very pleased with this item and it’s good value for money, win win all round.
A nice looking kettle. Fairly quiet, fairly fast to boil, easy enough to fill. The only downside is the fill measure is in front of the handle so a bit hard to see. The handle feels nice and it pours well. No taste or smell after the initial boil.
Only just recieved this kettle, but I’m very pleased with it. I filled and boiled it twice (as per instruction manual) before the first cuppa was made and there was no plastic taste, just a great cup of tea. The kettle looks good, has a decent cord length, is quick to boil and pours well, plus I had no problem seeing the water level when I filled it. Inside the kettle are also level indicators for 1, 2 or 3 cups, which is useful and the lid removes easily for filling. All in all a great product at a very good price.
Excellent generally and key positive (unlike the ridiculous morphy richards we had previously) the kettle locates every time on the base with ease to save dangling around at arms length trying to sit on the base to make electrical contact…. you would think it a fundamental of design but hey ho – this new ones great so easy. Also registered for extra year gurantee is good (why dont manufacturers get that we the consumer want to see that they have some faith in thier product and offer reasonable guarantees anyway!) Seems to have worked for Hyundai?
Was slightly suspicious of ‘plastic’ body as some feedback for certain units (other manufacturers) is less than complimentary re taste… I have to say no discernable issues with this – filled and boiled and rinsed repeatedly before first ‘drink’ use. No issue and believe me if anyone had inpacted on my beloved tea there would be an issue!!
Also very pleased the lead is white and not the obtrusive ‘stand out’ black of most previous options and kitchen elecrical goods.
Only minor gripe is the base could be a little wider to accomodate more than one wind of flex – its stable so thats not the issue but our worksurface and socket dont require much flex length and it only has option to wind the (quite generous) flex round once and only one ‘outlet’ cut out under the base – its not a deal breaker but just means we have a small but uneccessary section of albeit white flex ‘on show’ wheras i’d ideally like to have wound more round (like the previous morphy richards allowed ironically) a larger base would also make the kettle even more stable (so not a bad thing with boiling water eh?) so come on Russell Hobbs – pull your socks up and do what all good chinese companies do… copy best practice!
All in all an excellent item and looks as if it should cost far more. Aesthetics and finish are premium standard.
I was expecting it to be stainless steel tbh, but it being plastic means it’s lightweight, so can’t complain about that. It’s really quick boiling, not noisy, does not keep hot for a very long, being plastic. Overall, nice kettle, thank you!
I love my new kettle! I love how it looks, kind of reminds me of a bee hive! Most important, boils quickly unlike my last kettle took forever! The lid is easy to remove , it’s light weight. I cannot fault it at all. Am delighted with it. Delivery was much faster than I expected too! Totally recommend.
The small red plastic level-markers on the inside of the kettle are a nice and simple feature. It allows the user to boil only the amount of water needed which saves energy and time. Length of the cable is good, so should reach the nearest socket no problem.
I purchased this for the office. It’s a very nice looking kettle. Looks more expensive than it is. Very lightweight but not flimsy. Base is weighty enough that it doesn’t lift up with the kettle and move about. Subtle blue light when being used.
I wonder why I am asked to rate it for flavour? No idea, haven’t tasted it but the water it boils tastes great.
Perfect kettle I’m in love with it. Easy to clean outer and easy access filter for cleaning. I like the lift off lid better than previous ones I have owned that just pivot up. It’s got a really nice on switch as well. I think this is the best kettle I have ever owned. Highly recommend.
Our old kettle broke just as lockdown commenced, so I was very happy to receive this one in good time. It look very stylish, it is not too heavy, made out of plastic it seems. The lid is easy to remove and there is a 1, 2 or 3 cup indicator inside which is handy. Hope it lasts longer than my last one.
I love this kettle. It arrived quickly which was good as my old one was broken and taking long to boil water in saucepan.
This is the best kettle I have ever had. It looks good goes with my kitchen dcor. It is light to hold easy to fill. Pours well. Very quiet to boil and really quick. Glad my old one broke. I love to use this kettle. Also comes with warranty.
Arrived quickly and looks great – no scratches or marks. Love the lift-off lid, makes filling and cleaning much easier. I agree with the other reviews that it has a horrible plastic taste to begin with but 3 full boils with 2 tlbs of bicarbonate of soda added, sorted this out. Boils fast, quiet for a full boil, noisy for a 2 cup. For the price, a good kettle.
Delivered next day, easy to use, looks good. The only irritating thing is the circular knob on the lid, when you put the lid on the side it just keeps rocking from side to side which makes an annoying sound. Otherwise perfect.
Looks good in cream, boils water quickly and quietly, easy to fill with lift off lid. Fairly priced. When you register your purchase online with Russell Hobbs to will receive an extra 12 months to the guarantee.
Aesthetically pleasing.
Not very “fast boil” if full. Do people actually boil one cup at a time ?
Well I compared the boil time to my other kettle which also claims to be fast boil and it took about 20 seconds longer.
Nice looking kettle. Boils water in a reasonable timeframe and east to clean.
his kettle is nice, stylish, not too heavy and matches the toaster of the same range. it boils really quick and is not too noisy. need to knock a star off for one reason – the button is quite weak, flimsy even. it is quite loose, has a bit of play in it and generally feels cheap – not what you’d expect from a kettle of this price range. otherwise, a decent kettle.
I like this kettle because it’s reasonably priced and because I can get my hand inside to remove the filter etc. It boils water quite fast and then switches off quickly. The only issue for me is that the water level indicator is under the handle and not very easy to read in poor light.
Pours well, nice and light to handle, quiet enough in use, a more squat design than many so less likely to fall over if knocked, on/off switch is easy no faffing to find it, useful light shines through the end of the switch when it’s working.
Only criticism, if the interior light was white instead of blue it would be easier to see the water level, but that’s all i can fault this useful kettle on.
Very pleased with it and hope it’s still made so we can replace with the same when this one eventually dies.
I spend ages pouring over the reviews before deciding on this kettle. I am really pleased with my final decision. I filled and boiled it twice before making my first cup of tea and can honestly say that I did not experience any nasty taste. It boils quickly and is of very smart appearance. Now thinking of buying the toaster to match. Only downside is that you need to take the lid of to fill rather than a flip lid, but I don’t find that a problem. I’m glad that I ignored the bad reviews on this kettle, as I am over the moon with it.
Great Kettle.
Very easy to fill from taking off the lid with a fill indicator to see how much water you are boiling.
This is not a particularly noisy kettle & the boil time is quick.
Stylish & matches the milk whisk on our coffee machine.
Very happy with this purchase.
It’s so hard choosing a kettle, as none are perfect, so we decided to go with something at the cheaper end. This is plastic, but seems to be fine, not flimsy. The whole lid comes off to refill, so no button to press, and inside there’s red markers to show 1, 2 or 3 cup levels. That’s handy, as the fill screen is behind the handle and not easy to see. It boils quick enough and isn’t too noisy. The on/off switch seems a little plasticky and maybe potentially flimsy, but that’s the only downside that I can see.
I’ve used Russell Hobbs kettles before and never had any problems, and as yet no problems with this one, it is a very sturdy kettle with a 100mm diameter opening for easy filling with a good sealing lid, it’s very easy and straight forward to use, it also complements the the 2 slot toaster sold with it, and it also looks very smart and modern on our black worktops. I filled it up twice and boiled it to take the newness smell of it away and no problems with the water after that.
This is a really nice kettle I have gone through three kettles in the last four years mainly due to problems with flip-top lids with the mechanisms for opening these type of lids failing there for the lid won’t stay closed also a leak on the water level window on one kettle this kettle, however, has an old fashioned lift-off lid so no problems boils fast and quite too I love the design also hope this helps highly recommend this produc
The kettle boiled its first mug of water for tea in 60 seconds.The tea tasted fine.The kettle seems about half as noisy as I am used to.The second mug boiled in 45 seconds,while the elements were still hot from the first boiling.It pours just fine.4 stars as this is only the first day of use.
I am quite pleased with this kettle. One big disadvantage, however, is that the water gauge is not in an easy place to read. However, that is my only complaint. I like the kettle’s sturdy look and the easy removal of the lid. The handle is well designed and it fits snugly on the base without needing to move around (as I had to do with my last kettle). I love the shiny, grooved look of it.
I’ve never really bothered that much about kettles in the past. Even when I changed my kitchen I kept my existing kettle and toaster because they were working fine.
In the past when my kettle has stopped working I’ve gone down to Costco and bought whichever one they had in at the time. And it’s always been stainless steel.
Anyway my existing kettle had stopped working a couple of times. My husband fixed it but I figured it was time for a new one. I decided to look on Amazon before going to Costco. I noticed this, it stood out straight away and so I ordered it.
It’s a fabulous kettle. It works just as well as all my previous (more expensive) ones but it looks so much better.
It’s the same capacity as all my previous ones so nothing is different there. The lid is easy to take off and so I use that and not the spout to fill.
It’s a fast boil and quiet with a white lead as you’d expect with a white kettle.
The problem is now I want the matching toaster plus a white white Tassimo.
Really pleased with it and have bought the matching four slice toaster.
