The dreadful taste got worse over time.
Reviewed on Argos.co.uk

The dreadful taste got worse over time. We took it back for a refund but because this was not deemed a fault we were given a card representing the cost. We were told all kettles suffer the same because they are 'coated.' We were happy with the design, performance and features but could not continue to use it because of the dreadful taste. A kettle is supposed to boil water not make the water useless. So we went to a different supplier and are very happy with the kettle we now have.

Not recommended
Reviewed on Argos.co.uk

After a week of boiling & re-boiling we returned the kettle because of the overwhelming bad taste it left your mouth. It constantly left a taste as if the kettle had boiled dry, very unpleasant

Not suitable for left handers
Reviewed on Argos.co.uk

Despite claiming to be suitable for left and right handed use this kettle only has one window - not "windows" as claimed in the description so left handed people cannot see the window while filling

I was expecting something better.

The Kettle was very nice but it was so smelly that I had to send it back. I tried everything and and washed it but the water taste was awful.

Really wanted a kettle with a window on both sides
Reviewed on Argos.co.uk

Really wanted a kettle with windows on both sides for left handed users. Some kettles have the switch on top of the handle; this one has not and it is too easy to accidentally switch it on.

Great Kettle When working.
Reviewed on Argos.co.uk

Very nice kettle with good features but breaks a lot. 1st kettle lasted 3 days and then refused to boil. replacement kettle only lasted 6 weeks and then stopped illuminating. On all 3 kettles the silver trim on the on off button has fallen off with a week.

Tacky and shiny. Only brushed aluminium. So will attract all the fingerprints. Returned it straightway

Not as well lit as the previous model but it’s a kettle and it works . I have no doubt that it will last a few years

Avoid this kettle.
Reviewed on Argos.co.uk

Kettle looks ok but it is difficult to see the water level as background light not bright enough. Easy to burn fingers on kettle body when gripping top of handle, needs wider plastic guard. Initially it was reasonably quiet but after only 4 days it was loud ( not softest water area ). Took ages to get rid of an unusual taste to my tea. Will buy a cheaper plastic kettle next time, would not recommend.

Let down by poor features.
Reviewed on Argos.co.uk

Good looks and cheap. Polished, not dull finish which picture indicates. Only one water level window even though Argos refer to 'windows' so only suitable for right handed filling. Really noisy boiling. Over boils by around 10 secs before turning off so creates lots of steam. Base poorly finished with jagged plastic. Push button lid opening but doesn't open wide enough to fill so you have manually pull it open. There was a plastic taste to the water initially which took many boils to disappear.

Had to return
Reviewed on Argos.co.uk

Unfortunately I had to return this kettle due to the metallic taste from the boiled water, the instructions said to boil water and discard 3 times before use but even after boiling over twenty times I could not get rid of the horrid taste. making cups of tea undrinkable

Loud and makes the water taste bad
Reviewed on Argos.co.uk

Looks nice enough but leaves the water with a bad taste. Can't imagine why, as if it's scorching the water. It's also very loud so conversation has to stop while it boils. Another thing that I find annoying is that the water indicator is only on one side so I can't see it when filling. Every previous kettle has had it on both sides or at the back so that it's visible either way.

Had to return kettle after 4 days of use. It tainted water with a metallic taste and plastic smell. Thought it may go away with a few uses. But it become worse.
