It’s quiet, fast boiling and glass. It doesn’t smell from the beginning, not like some other kettles that smell of plastic for ages. Worth the money, I got lucky to catch big Friday offer.
Good value kettle. been using it for several months no and no complaints. Simple I know, but the green circle mark for one cup level is very easy to see and encourages you to not put more water in the kettle than actually needed.
Small flaw is that if you stop pouring a just-boiled kettle too suddenly the water can sometimes pool in the spout and drip down the kettle. Also the lid flies open really fast and can splash hot water on you if you go to empty the kettle down the sink once done.
Love it you can do one cup in under 60 seconds and it a nice looking kettle can hold upto 1.7 litres electric cord around 18 inches long plenty if it’s on counter near socke
When looking at a replacement I was going to get something a bit fancier, but what’s the chance that a new electronic thing will last more than 3-4 years?
I had no hesitation buying a new one!
I hope the new one lasts at least half as long!
(Now see if anyone in the house notices!!)
This is a good, fast heating kettle, and the light going off when it is finished boiling the water is useful for the hard of hearing. My only slight issue with it is the opening mechanism for the lid. Sometimes it doesn’t open first time, like there is a sweet spot to get it to open, but generally no problems and I am pleased with this buy.
I’ve only had this a few days but it appears to be good quality, works as expected, quiet and ideal for small and/or larger quantities of water. It looks very nice as well.
Very fast boil, good for making just one cup so energy saving. Well made love the blue led lights
Will hopefully last longer than a similar cheaper brand. Does everything it’s meant to and arrived quickly.
Not happy , I bought this kettle in October 2022 it broke in June 2023, the lid came off completely and not possible to fit it back on, it was only lightly used.
we really like seeing the water boil and bubble …
it does however make it very obvious when you need to de-limescale your kettle :-/
Anyway – nice kettle … I’m glad I bought it.
Reasonably priced, well designed kettle with attractive blue lighting feature.
Would give five stars except for the lid button is a bit sticky when pressing to open. Love the blue light! Using so much less water as I can see easily the amount I need.
Very easy to see water level. Quick to boil. Not too noisy. Love the blue illumination when it’s switched on. Very pleased.
This was just a replacement kettle exactly the same as the one we had because we so pleased with i
Same as described. The family love it. Especially the blue ligh
Easy to assemble and practical, so beautiful i live it!
Water does get hot as expected. And lights up too.
Arrived early which was a bonus and it’s a good produc
Good quick boiling kettle, but while you don’t want along cable,this one is too short. Another 6″ would improve things in my kitchen layou
Works well at the function it was made to do. Don’t particularly like the push button lid as I can see that breaking before anything else.
The one cup feature is outstanding and although some comments did mention the condensation in the kettle it seems to go away after many uses of the kettle. I’m very happy with the purchase and Mornings are great with it!
The “ring of blue lights” are a bit of a fake really – there are actually only two, either side of the handle, with a plastic diffuser to give the appearance of a ring of lights, so it’s not all that bright and certainly doesn’t light up the water spectacularly unless you’re in complete darkness. But it’s very effective in showing whether the kettle’s on or off, and much better than our old one with a difficult-to-see white light over the on-off switch.
I don’t find the kettle noticeably noisier than others I’ve used, and as it boils very quickly it’s not a problem to me.
The auto-off does take a little while to kick in, especially if you’re only boiling a single cup, but because it’s so quick you’d typically be alongside it anyway so can just flip it off manually or lift the kettle, saving a tiny bit more energy as well!
The biggest benefit is being able to see clearly exactly how much water is in the kettle , so you can boil only just enough for e.g. one mug or a small teapot and use the least amount of electricity possible (and of course avoids accidentally turning it when empty!) There is a marker for 1 cup, but it’s not particularly prominent, so we’ve drawn lines for 1 cup (c250ml), 2-cup teapot (c500ml) etc. in black magic marker – not pretty, but much easier to see! In fact it’s easiest to turn the kettle round so the marks are at the back, so you can see the water level against them though the glass as you fill the kettle (from our water distiller jug) through the open lid.
All in all I’m very pleased with this purchase and would recommend it, especially so if you use a water distiller for drinking water.
