after one year it starts tp leak... I expect a kettle to last longer
FireTV is unreliable as HELL !Good kettle but scale in pouring bit fell out wouldn't go back in.
Jennynot easy to open paint finish not durable, chips and marks too easily, for a 3000 watt kettle takes too long toboil, better kettles out there, would not buy again
michael hTo fill/refill this kettle it is necessary to pull-back the lid which allows access. The grip is not easy to hold or to pull - even when empty. When the water has boiled and requires pouring followed by 'topping up', not only is the lid stiff it is also very hot. In pulling the lid across/open you are exposed to the heat and steam of boiling water.. In my view it is potentially dangerous.
Ben HurrenI’ve had this kettle a few months now, and I’ve noticed that it doesn’t always automatically stop when it comes to the boil. I’m not sure if there is something wrong with it. Could Russell Hobbs respond to this please?Other than that, it looks nice, is comfortable to hold and easy to fill/pour through the spout. (The lid is a bit hot too open after boiling.)The measure is central (under the handle) and not on one side making it suitable for both left and right hand usage.The cable is a reasonable length meaning it does not have to sit too close to the socket.A bit of limescale has built up around the base, lid and spout of the kettle which looks unsightly, but that is due to living in a hard water area.Edit: Being sent a new one due to faulty switch. Hope the same doesn’t happen.

really disappointed. my previous kettle lasted about 4 years and this one started leaking in a few months. don't buy
O. GuzmanThis was a reasonable kettle when it worked, nothing brilliant nothing terrible. Then the “paddle/switch” used to switch it on broke off. Amazon directed me to Russell Hobbs as it’s under warranty and they say that it’s Amazon’s responsibility. So I have a broken kettle and no after sales. Also, the lid is very difficult to open when hot, no button to lift it etc. so you’ll burn your hand if you need to boil again in a short space of time.Avoid this product.
Russell AndrewsI like the style of it but it doesn’t stay warm very long
Annie HammettI've always liked Russell Hobbs but, sorry to say, this is the worst design, lid wise, that I have ever come across. The place where you put your finger to open the lid, is so shallow, that you can easily close it again whilst opening it. It would be a nightmare for the average man's fingers I would think. Anyway, my opinion is, it's a very poor design!
Pendragon25Bought this just over a year ago. The filter keeps falling off the spout and recent water has started to flood out from the bottom of the kettle. I used to believe that Russell Hobbs was a valued brand but this item disproves that idea. I would not recommend this kettle
Mr. Alasdair G. BushNice looking red kettle, boiles very quickly, but doesn’t hold its heat and doesn’t stay hot for very long and I have had family members complain! Ha.
ClareLooks great - but I couldn't live with it - so noisy ! Sounded like a bag of marbles was rattling around inside - had to return it. Not sure if it was faulty or the normal noise - but the replacement Breville is great.
LucasgranOh dear! Nice look, but a few downsides to this kettle. The first is that it is ridiculously NOISY. Also, what is the point of having a filling gauge tucked behind the handle where you can't see it? Even when you aren't hold the handle. I certainly do not recommend. Is it too late to send it back? I've used it for a week, hoping to get used to it - but it is starting to annoy me more and more, the longer I have it. Do not waste your money on it. (I rarely write bad reviews - I normally always find something positive to say - well, it boils water.)
Sandie Y.Had this kettle for 1 week and it sometimes fails to turn off the boil and so needs to be switched off manually. This is potentially very dangerous if the kettle boils dry as I suppose it could catch fire as it gets hotter and hotter.Wanted to return it and replace with another product that works but by the time I got a replacement kettle delivered and the returns label printed the time window had been closed for my return :-(
C SimsThis kettle looks good but sounds like an express train coming through the kitchen. SO,SO noisy. I'm trying to return it but can't navigate the amazon site!
bob BellWhilst the overall kettle is attractive, it is designed poorly in that you cannot see the water level indicator when holding the kettle to add water. It does poor well, however.
Mr. H. ClarkUnfortunately the first version of this kettle kept boiling and didn’t switch off. I now have an identical replacement that seems to be fine. I do miss the push button lid of my old one
NauticOnly 3 months old and already faulty, kettle doesn't click off once boiled so fills the whole kitchen with steam and sets off the fire alarm which as a business causes all sorts of hassle.
SP Dental LtdIt broke down after a maximum of 10 uses... Would not recommend unless you're looking for a dispossable kettle!
