Capacity 1.5 litres/2.64 UK pints, U.K. three pin plug, 72cm/2'4" actual lead length (excl. plug & base), base diameter 16cm/6.3", lead/plug colour black.Available in black/grey or white/grey (being reviewed) colours, also matching two slice toasters are available.This is a fairly quiet, quick boil auto shut off plastic bodied kettle.It takes about 3 minutes to boil a full kettle of cold water (2.4 kW.)There are two clearly marked large transparent side windows; one side in cups, the other litres.The protruding chunky flat round power switch is located near it's base, under the handle.It has a concealed red LED light that illuminates when operating.The easy grip angled handle has been very effectively designed to minimise wrist pressure when pouring, say a full kettle.This is the prime reason I bought this due to dexterity issues, ideal for those with arthritis and being made of a quality plastic, is lighter and safer if accidentally touched having just boiled.In addition the water keeps warmer due to the less heat conduction being lost than with a metal kettle.The top/lid is flat with a recessed pull-back switch/knob set towards the centre.It is very positive, easy to use and effective.The hinged lid when open, remains at 90˚, giving a positive 'click' and feel when shut.Filling it with water and viewing the water level as it rises, has been well thought out, being easily seen.There is a removable scale filter mesh guard that slides out from the spout for cleaning.The spout's design creates a practical narrower stream of water when poured, with perfect attention to detail, being shaped cutting off the stream of water, preventing drips.Described as a cordless kettle, the power base has a chrome and grey finished circular disc with raised central spindle (not too high), enabling the kettle to dock easily.This is another considered design touch for those who may have weaker wrists and hands.Beneath the power base is a space for effective cord storage.The kettle has a concealed heating element, allowing the inside of the kettle to remain flat and uncluttered, thus it is a doddle to clean.I live in an extremely hard water area, so I regularly use food grade citric acid crystals (cheap and easily obtainable), to completely remove any scale by boiling a full kettle of water with a desert spoon full of citric acid.I allow it a further 10 minutes, then rinse it with fresh water, also unlike using vinegar, there is no odour or after taste.This kettle is a dream to clean if/when necessary with any water splashes on the outer body easily wiped away.The kettle arrived fully boxed, protected for transport and various leaflets/booklets from instructions to guarantees.Over the many years and experience of numerous kettles, including those with different temperature ranges, this single one is the best, most practical, most thoughtfully designed effective kettle, having all the best qualities that one may hope for in a kettle.It is truly a quality, well made and efficient kettle.Oh yes, all this and it is very fairly priced.Perfect!Now I must go for I am making my next cup of tea and the kettle has just boiled.See the photographs.
I am loving my new Dualit Studio Kettle! It's easy to fill, quick to boil and looks fabulous on my kitchen work surface!
Great thanks
Having had the Dualit lite for 9 years I was very disappointed in the very expensive Classic I bought to replace it with, the on light failed after 2 weeks & I returned it! Not giving up easily I decided to try the studio! I bought the black to match my black lite toaster & so glad I did! Lightweight, easy flip lid to fill boils quick & looks very stylish! Highly recommend as delighted with it & less than half the price of the classic!
A great product
Excellent kettle. Pours beautifully. Others have mentioned exposed screws on the lid, but I don't mind this at all, looks in keeping. The lid is as wide as the kettle itself, making it super easy to fill and/or clean. Solid and well built.
A great quality kettle,it feels solid and well made. I particularly like the fact that it’s not too noisy when boiling and it doesn’t drip when pouring. Also I like the angle of the handle which means you don’t have to tip it too far to get it pouring.
Love this kettle. Looks stylish has large lid which is easy to open and close. Due to plastic body is lighter to handle. I have given up owning metal kettles they cost more and look shabby after short while because I live in hard water area and limescale buikd up.
Excellent kettle. Can’t fault it
Bought this to replace the same model that I'd bought 6years ago that is still going but the switch is playing up a bit so ordered this in advance! Best kettle we've ever had, little bit pricey but it's used everyday & looks good. Easy to handle as you don't have to tip it all the way. We also have the toaster to match.
This is the best kettle I’ve ever owned. It’s excellent build quality. Large lid opening size and it’s fast if you o my fill it up to what you need. It’s also got a super large capacity if you have people over. No noisier than any other kettle I’ve owned. Easy to clean compared to other kettles I’ve owned. Looks great on the side in the kitchen. Honestly if you like the look of it just buy it, you won’t be disappointed.
We bought this as a double pack with the matching toaster as we were upgrading some kitchen products. I love the design of this kettle. You can see the water level which helps if you're an eco warrior and there's also hardly any noise with it. The best thing though is, because of a clever filter on the spout, there's hardly any steam on boiling. Very clever. For the price it's a no brainer.
