Does not have a mechanism to open the lid without singeing your hand

Rachel AdemaI bought this kettle for my 95 year old parents who are struggling these days to pick up heavy things. I thought this would be ideal as it held just enough water for them to make their tea and coffee. The kettle looks great and is light to lift - but oh is it noisy. When you sit in the kitchen with it boiling it makes conversation somewhat challenging! What a shame...
Gina BThis smaller than average kettle would be good in any mobile home or caravan - or even flat or small home. It is only a litre capacity but that isn't going to be an issue unless you are filling a large flask. The simple appearance of the kettle is nice. I have timed the 'fast boil' claim and it is rather quick but not so much faster than my previous Dualit kettle. It's a perfectly good kettle but unless you need to save space or there are only a couple of you in the house, its lack of capacity can be problematic - especially for flasks which I use daily. I have to boil it twice which is not ideal.
TangerineA stylish addition to any kitchen, the Compact Kettle with a polished stainless-steel finish offers a simple touch of understated style. Still with an impressive 1 litre capacity this Compact Kettle offers a solution to restricted kitchens with the same uncompromised performance. So make a cup for you, or for a few and sit down, relax and enjoy quality you time.
Perfect pour spout
The 'Perfect Pour' spout ensures the water creates a streamlined flow from the kettle to the cup every time, preventing those infamous splashes, spills and splutters that are so common on the kitchen counter. So enjoy that well-earned brew without the worry of the mess.
Boils one cup in 45 seconds*
You can always find time for a good cup of tea with the Compact Kettle as one cup boils in just 45 seconds*. So whether it's first thing in a morning before work, or a quick cuppa before picking the kids up on the school run, flick the switch, sit down and enjoy a couple of minutes peacefulness before the demands of the day commence.
Rapid boil zone
The rapid boil zone is a widget inside of the kettle that allows you to boil exactly the right amount of water for one, two or three cupfuls. And that's not all, by making use of the rapid boil zones it could save you up to 66% less energy**.
