Amazon shoppers have given this kettle a thumbs up, with an impressive 4.4 out of 5 stars from over 2,200 reviews. A satisfied customer praised it highly: “This is an excellent and thoughtfully-designed kettle,” they said in a five-star review.
“It seems like the sort of appliance which is the result of a long evolutionary process of improvements to make it safer and easier to use. It seems to have been designed from the inside out by experienced people, rather than being something designed to look good but that falls short in practice”, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Shoppers have been quick to heap praise on the budget-friendly Russell Hobbs Kettle, with one chuffed customer declaring: “Very impressed with the kettle which looks good, boils quick and is priced at a great value point,” Another ecstatic buyer shared their love for the appliance in an admiring five-star review: “This is the best kettle I’ve ever bought. I’ve had a lot of kettles some expensive designer ones, however this is the absolute best kettle I’ve had. Easy pouring, easy filling, great capacity, easy to clean.”
But it’s not all steaming reviews; some users pointed out a grating flaw, noting its noisiness: “Looks nice but it’s super loud,” wrote a dissatisfied shopper. Another frustrated voice chimed in saying, “This is without a doubt the loudest kettle I have ever owned,” also adding a word of caution about the kettle’s heat retention, “The brushed chrome stays hot to touch for some time after use, so you need to be careful not to touch it.”
For those looking to splash out, there’s the high-end option of a Smeg kettle currently on offer at Robert Dyas for £129.99, marked down from £189.95. If you’re aiming for something in between, there’s the Ninja Perfect Temperature Jug Kettle for a cool £59.99 at Currys, normally listed at £89.99.
