Great kettle
Mum loved this kettle, she preferred white due to it matching kitchen
My old kettle had seen better days, but was a Russell Hobbs and I've had it for 12 years. This new one boils much faster and isn't too expensive for what you get.
Really smart and efficient kettle, as I expected because it is a Russell Hobbs
Boils fast
Great kettle
really happy with kettle its been used very much evrytime im in the kitchen always boiling good kettlethats why ive order another the same one . just looked at my orders we got the kettle in feb 24 and today it died so ordered one today
Good to use
Great kettle, my second, the first lasted 3yrs+
I’m disabled and found this nice glass kettle would be - just too heavy to lift continuously - so had to return it. -I need a smaller , maybe, plastic one to replace a very old one . that’s small capacity and cordless..
I’ve seen all sorts of reviews for this kettle..Well we have had one a couple or three months now and we love it.Firstly..in response to some of the critics…yes…it doe t look like new for more than a few days !There is absolutely NoThing you can do about it….even when clean it will never again look absolutely crystal clear …unless you have very soft water I suppose.But….it is the easiest kettle to clean in every respect.It had a lid which totally removes…great!The body is wide…you can get your hand in ..Great !You can see everything..Exactly here there is limescale build ..great !There are no fiddly bits in body at all..It is extremely simple and minimalist…so less to get dirty and easier to clean ..great !When it’s clean again it’s clean..you can see it is clean..you know exactly where the bad spots are and can go at them…Great !We have had so many kettles over the years. Despite buying good ones…stainless steel…paying good money..£50 even…they don’t break they just get limed up and impossible to keep clean. This one is a simple glass jug wirh one simple stick element in and nothing else. And lid pulls off.So…how to clean?There’s nothing for it but a ahock weekly clean or..A less frequent and more arduous clean.I’ve looked it all up and I can see that precise amounts don’t matter too much…Basically….BICARBONATE OF SODA MIXED WITH WHITE VINEGAR…AND EVEN COME OF SOME KIND TO BUBBLE UP AND XLEAN….JUST BOIL UP MIX OF BICARBONATE AND WHITE CINEGAR…REPEAT AS NECESSARY…RINSE THOROUGHLY.I ALSO HAD TO USE NON STICK SCOURER INSDE..ESSY TO GET INTO…TO GET STUBNORN BITE EHEN I LEAVE CLEANING TOO LONG..NO..THE KETTLE RARELY LOOKS PRISTINE..BUT SEEING INTO IT SO CLEARLY GOADS ON YOU TO REMEMBER TO XLEAN IT….I NEVER REMEMBERED WITH OTHER KETTLES..INDEED XOULDNT FACE IT…AND THE KETTLLES ALWAYS LOADS OF FIDDLY BITS THAT WERE MISSED BY THE DESCALER.THAT DOESNT HAPPEN WITH THIS KETTLE.I CANT RECOMMEND IT ENOUGH…FAST BOIL…QUITE PRETTY IN BLUE…BUT ABOVE ALL EASY TO KEEP CLEAN AND YOU CAN SEE IT IS !PsThe day after i wrote this review the kettle unfortunately smashed ! Literally!I clipped the over worktop cupboard by mistake…not very hard either ..and whole Keller top from spout fractured badly and broke…So…I HAVE FOUND THE KETTLES WEAKNESS ! I’m sorry to have to add this on to my otherwise glowing review…but clearly the glass is of the thinnest sort and not at all ideal for a kettle…you’d think it would be a toughened glass. At least now you can make a truly fully informed decision.I’d say Russell Hobbs should cease MADE IN CHINA and start manufacturing the same great design elsewhere.
Used for 2 years. Elegant. Easily washable. Bought two more for gifting .
Purchased this to replace the exact same kettle that my partner broke - we had it for over 2 years and he smashed it using some force. It didn’t smash completely just had a big crack down it but it wasn’t safe to use. We purchased again as we love it - it’s good value for money and looks good especially with the blue light. It’s stainless steel on the inside base and glass which makes it low tox which is what you want when you’re boiling water- no plastic to leach! I prefer that you have to take the lid off completely to fill it as with lids that stay on I would find they don’t open enough and get in the way - no issues with that and it’s not an inconvenience to have to put it down like others have commented it takes 2 seconds! It also makes it easier to clean. Yes you have to make sure it’s aligned properly when you put the lid back on but again it’s not hard to do.
