Russell Hobbs Stainless Steel & Black Electric 1.7L Cordless Kettle with black handle (Fast Boil 3KW, Removable washable anti-scale filter, Pull off lid, Perfect pour spout) 23911

An excellent kettle. This is my second kettle of the same make. The first one lasted for years.

It works perfect. A little bit of noisy but boils very fast.

Adventure - Polished Stainless Steel:Had this less than a week, does everything we need. Please note, there's no water level indicator, no light on the switch, & the lid is not hinged, it needs to be removed to fill kettle. No excessive noise when boiling, looks smart, has shiny black plastic handle & lid ; latter is easy to remove to fill kettle & fits securely in position when in use. On/off switch seems well constructed & has a positive 'click' when operated. Unlike other review mentions, the one we received doesn't wobble on the base, pours well, & boils pretty quickly without excessive noise. Maybe we got lucky? Let's just see how long it lasts.

works well & fast

This kettle works fine - yes its a bit noisy - but it gets the job done. The reason why I am REPLACING it is because the lid is so annoying - it twists completely off ONLY when in the proper position. So once you place the lid on and twist it slightly (and the grooves then lock the lid in) you have to fumble with the lid and twist it to put more water in. If it is a cold morning and you are in your 50s (like me) this can be more hassle then it is worth. Why? because once you find the locking and unlocking point and pull up (which can also be very hard to do) you can easily lose the lid in the air from all the 'trying to get it right' momentum. Then when the lid and unit is HOT - it becomes a different sensory experience to try and get that lid off (you need a towel to safely remove the lid and refill at this point). So if all this lid stuff sounds fun to you - then this is your kettle. Otherwise skip it and find one that has the lid attached that can easily pop it up and you and move on with your life! As I am doing...

Nice kettle. Boils water quickly allowing me to have a nice cup of tea when i wake up.

This is the fourth one I've bought because it's a basic and reliable kettle and good value. However it has one fault - after few years of use the electrical contact pin in the centre of the base of the kettle breaks and it stops working. I would advise care when placing the filled kettle on it's base. I have had no other issues with this kettle.

Works well
