Brushed Stainless Steel Electric Kettle, 1.7L Cordless | Quiet and Fast Boil 3KW, Removable Washable Anti-Scale Filter, Push Button Lid, Perfect Pour Spout

Solid performance, boils fast and is reasonably quiet. Looks stylish in my kitchen too.

Very happy with this kettle overall, looks good, super quiet, very fast, used it for a while now and is not letting me down. The weird water taste is true though! However I am not deducting any stars as it's very easily remedied - inside it has the 3 cup measurement bit of red plastic, easily removed. Well take that out and put it straight in the bin! This kind of plastic reacts with any chlorine in the water and amplifies its taste, the minute you remove that the weird taste is no more. I am baffled why the manufacturer would put that in there in the first place! And the kettle is excellent once that is taken out.

I have always had Russell Hobbs kettles as did my parents before me, but we usually bought the "traditional" shape ones. This is now my 3rd kettle of this particular model and they seem to be lasting 4 years each ! Firstly they are a good kettle, and virtually noiseless for about 8-9 months, then the noise increases, so like a good customer I bought their official 'Multi Purpose Descaler' which isn't cheap, and that cures the problem for 2 months if you are lucky, then you need to repeat the process and you only get 5 doses in each bottle, I bought 3 bottles - so basically one it starts getting noisy there is no cure, so don't waste your money on the descaler, I suppose how long the noiseless last depends on your water hardness softness too, out water is very, very slightly limey, you really don't get any limescale build up inside the kettle though as such. Regarding the lid sticking by other reviewers. this has personally never happened to us. Also the 'plastic' taste in the water, once gain we have never found that, and my only thought is that are people filling the kettle to max, boiling it, throwing the water out and repeating the operation - as stated in the instructions ? Wouldn't be the first time people haven't read the instructions, and that includes me sometimes by the way. Now for my BIG grumble and one that Russell Hobbs SHOULD address that is the on/off switch. It seems these are designed to fail, every 4 years in our case, as that has happened to both out last 2 kettles, and I feel sure it will happen to this new one too. in 4 years time I might add that the traditional Russell Hobbs kettles lasted at least 15 years, and IF you were unlucky you might need to replace the element, I and I have replaced at least 500 on the old style ones (Saturday Job), but that that was it, people loved those kettles. Right, back to my point, the on/off tab that you press down eventually fails and snaps off... why ? because it is just plastic and I suspect the heat from the bottom of the kettle also makes it fail and snap. It is absolutely impossible to repair, because it snaps of at the furthermost point, you just can't get into it and repair it safely, I have worked in electrical/electronics virtually all my life, along with a period in design so I have a lot more insight/experience into these sort of problems. This design or material choice (why not make the stem out of metal, then attach the plastic bit on the end of the stem ?) is making people throw away a perfectly usable kettle, everting else was perfectly fine on the two I binned. We are supposed to making everything sustainable and NOT throw away perfectly good electrical goods for a simple fix... Russell Hobbs please listen ! I nearly gave this 3 stars, but when it is working it is fine, the noise is a problem after a while but I can live with that, but the switch snapping off is just criminal really though, look how many customers have reported this. The big question is when (... not if) this switch fails again, will I buy another Russell Hobbs question, well no unless they address the issue. I personally have supported Russel Hobbs for 50 years now, and as I say my parents did too, but is it now time to call it a day ? We shall see in 4 years time... over to you Russell Hobbs.

Have to say Im very pleased with my new Russel Hobbs brushed satin stai less steel kettle . I can confirm this model is definitely much quieter & faster when boiling, the button to open lid works well, the blue light only operates when boiling (it nearly put me off buying the kettle) I'm hoping the water gauge doesn't start to leak... Time will tell It's very good value for the money I think.

I recently purchased the Russell Hobbs steel electric kettle and I am absolutely thrilled with it! From the moment I unboxed it, the sleek stainless steel design & good size added a touch of elegance to my kitchen. It feels sturdy and well-made, and the modern finish is both stylish and easy to keep clean. Performance-wise, it is outstanding. The kettle boils water remarkably quickly and quietly, which is perfect for my busy mornings. The handle is comfortable and well balanced, making it easy to pour without any spills. I also appreciate the clear water level indicator and the automatic shut-off feature, which provides peace of mind. Overall, this is a top-quality kettle that delivers exactly what it promises. I would highly recommend the Russell Hobbs steel electric kettle to anyone looking for a reliable, efficient, and attractive addition to their kitchen. Five stars

Very nice kettle. Quieter than my last one. Very fast boil. Easier to fill under my tap as it’s slightly wider and shorter than our previous kettle

Sadly , no longer switching on and less than 3.5 years old. Other than that it was a fine kettle, and certainly quiet. Probably look for a longer guarantee next time.

Nice kettle but I wouldn't describe it as quiet. Also I am starting to get arthritis and I find this quite difficult to lift which I believe is down to the handle shape and weight distribution. My last kettle was taller and I had no problems lifting it when full. This one can be half full and I feel strain on my wrist. I have to hold the handle further up than I would normally just to reach the lid opening button and the weight of the kettle then drops forward. Designed by a man with long thumbs I think lol. It does what it is supposed to do but I wouldnt purchase again due to loud boiling and the handle design.

Would buy again! Very quiet and heats very efficiently.

Bouilloire efficace et élégant mais munie d'une grosse prise pour laquelle j'ai enlevé une étoile.

I have heard many a noisy kettles in my lifetime up until I got my hands on this one, everything about it is great definitely worth the money, love it.

Excellent kettle. It is very quiet compared to the existing one, which is the same brand. Happy to recommend it.
