Dualit Classic Kettle, Polished Stainless Steel with Copper Trim, 1.7L

Top quality kettle. Looks really smart and works well. Bought to replace the same model which finally conked out after a good 10 years of daily use. Our water is very hard and takes its toll on appliances. 10 years is pretty good I reckon. Excellent delivery. Very happy

Bought to replace our older Dualit that we have had for ten years because whilst still working well it is looking tired and of course styles change.This one taps into the latest style of using copper for a bit of added retro look, which I rather like. There is a sort of 'industrial,' look about it that is a bit steam punk in its execution.In use it boils very fast and most noticeably - or rather not - very quietly. So much so that you have to be standing right by it to hear it. The lid is a bit stiff to open which I'm sure will ease over time but when it is open the top is clear for filling with an easily read level gauge down the side.If I do have a niggle then it is the manufacturing of this. It's not cheap for a kettle and yet whilst Dualit proudly brandishes the 'Designed and Engineered in Britian,' tag lines everywhere, the reality is that this is not made in the UK. It is made like most things overseas in some low labour cost country. And if this only cost twenty quid then fair enough but when you are forking out close on £120 then I fail to see how there isn't enough slack in that price to enable UK manufacturing to still allow a decent profit to be made. This is a real bugbear with me when 'traditional,' British companies play on their Britishness and charge accordingly yet are actually selling you stuff made in the Far East.Anyway, rant over, the actual product is well made, stylish and works very well. But pricey.

Worth spending a bit more to get a repairable, quality product like this. One unexpected bonus in moving from a glass kettle in our hard water area, is that the Dualit has almost zero limescale after 3 months, whereas we had to descale our previous kettle weekly. Now saving up for the matching legendary toaster!

This kettle has a premium quality feel, looks great and is very well put together too. The 'Whisper Boil' works - the boil is noticeably quieter than our previous kettle. The windows on the sides of the kettle make it easy to put in the right volume of water to avoid wasting electricity. There's no taint to the taste of the water, even when new. The 3kW element means that the kettle boils quickly, even when full and non-drip spout works well too. The design of the kettle means you have to fill it by opening the lid which is rather stiff to open but is well-sealed, so no leaks. The only other small gripe is the weight of this kettle but I guess that's down to the premium quality components. Given the high price of this kettle compared to most others on the market, does it give value for money? For me, the simple answer is 'Yes'. I paid for quality and I got it!

I've wanted one of these (and the matching toaster) for ages. Took the plunge and forked out for the most expensive kettle I've ever owned.Practically speaking, it performs as well as any other quality kettle. It's quite fast, quite quiet and safe to pick up whilst full of hot water, as the handle remains cool enough to touch.What sets this apart, for me at least, are the classic looks, the flask-like construction that keeps boiled water warm, and the accurate pour. You do however, need to tip the kettle quite far to get the water out.I hope and expect that this is the last kettle that I ever need to buy, and while I own it, I will smile whilst admiring my investment.

Great kettle, very quiet and looks good. Arrived next day and in good condition.

Fed up buying cheap replacement foreign manufactured electric kettles so decided to go top range made in Britain. Very very pleased with this product, worth every penny, went on to buy their toaster. However be aware only certain of their models are manufactured in UK so check. An A*************product.

This is a very heavy and sturdy kettle, as you would expect for £130. Boil is quick and not too loud. Bought in 2022.However, for £130 I’d also expect longevity, which is not one of the features. After around two years the kettle began switching itself off intermittently, apparent a known issue with the internal switch that detects removal from the base. We have plodded in with resetting a watching the kettle for a few years. I’m told by Dualit a replacement part is available, but not to the public. A £55 fee and a 14 day turnaround is the only option.So, new kettle for me, £130 or so written off due to poor engineering.Cannot recommend avoiding this product strongly enough.

Das Gerät wurde schnell geliefert. Leider mit einem nicht passenden Stromanschluß. Statt für die deutsche Steckdose hat er einen englischen Stecker. Jetzt muss ich entweder basteln oder mit einem Adapter auskommen. Das trübt meinen Eindruck etwas, da es leider aus der Artikelbeschreibung nicht ersichtlich wurde.

Le modéle reçu a une prise uk, pas à la norme française.... Ce n'est pas précisé dans la fiche technique.

Der Wasserkocher hat keinen EU Stecker und wird mit integriertem Adapter für die behinderste Steckdosenart der Welt geliefert (UK Stecker). Dadurch ist der Stecker viermal so groß wie nötig und dazu noch instabil.Ausserdem wird der Kocher von außen extrem heiß, auch nahe der vorgesehen Griffe.

I decided to buy this article over amazon.de to have an European plug and it comes with the UK plug. It's not mentioned anywhere! Could had both it 36 euros cheaper for the same product over amazon.co.uk and there I know for sure it came with the non European plug. This is second Dualit product I buy over amazon.de and the first one came with the right plug.
