Products as order, in great working condition. Slight drawback, if you tip it over beyond a certain angle, it seems to spill a bit of the water, but hat's all. Thanks!

J.G. GooderhamI was so pleased to find another one of these kettles. It looks nice and being plastic doesn't feel too hot when boiled and not as noises as metal kettles. I've had my other one 5 years and is still going strong so happy I have a replacement for when it does die on me.

BEATA KALLAI-KELBERTThis is probably my favourite kettle I have ever owned. At first I thought it was lightweight and that made it feel cheap. In fact it just makes it so easy to use. Highly recommended
MR DAVID BRIAN PARKERClean & Simple. Love it!
Terriquick to boil,good handle .nice colour .highly recommended
Dileep JoseExcellent kettle , bought to replace oold Russell Hobb...
LindaI have been looking in vain for a new electric kettle with a whistling base. It seems no one makes them any more which is a shame as I find my old one also made by Russell Hobbs very useful. Luckily this new one has the same size base and contact point so it fits onto the old base. Other than this it seems a very good product, comfortable and light to use with an easy open lid.
punchcroftExcellent price and good product.
CateRussell Hobbs 15075 Plastic Buxton 1.6ltr Kettle in WHITE
This Russell Hobbs Buxton 1.6 ltr Kettle is surprisingly good.
• This kettle boils really fast and is also very quiet.
• It turns off quickly once boiled and so there is no excess boiling.
• It pours well and the nice chunky handle is comfortable to grip.
• Being plastic, the kettle is lightweight to lift, and therefore not excessively heavy even when used to capacity.
• When empty, it appears to be a tiny bit unstable on it's base, however I have noticed my other kettles have been like this. It could be a safety factor so that it is not hard down on the electricity if inadvertently switched on while empty – this is just a thought. Once water is in the kettle there is no instability at all.
• Pre-1st use I boiled up the water, emptied and then rinsed the kettle out as per the User Guide. I did not find any smell or taste of plastic whatsoever.
• The User Guide is in simple language and in English only, complete with an illustration and is perfectly clear.
• The product has a 1 year Guarantee (receipt of purchase required). If the Kettle is registered on-line then an extra year is added to the Guarantee.
• The length of the Power Cable from the stand to the end of the Electric Plug is 22½ inches.
I chose White because it goes with anything, and having previously had kettles in Black, Shiny Chrome and Stainless Steel, because our water is so dreadfully hard, it does not take long for the tell tale white deposits to show up round the spout and other areas where the steam escapes.
I have high hopes that this White Kettle will keep it’s smart, crisp good looks for longer (Will update that as time goes on)
I genuinely recommend this Russell Hobbs Kettle.
UPDATE - 14 April 2016
We live in a very hard water area and this is the first kettle that seems to resist scaling up. It only had it's first De-Scale this week and to be honest, I only did it because I was doing other items in the home.

Chris from HampshireWith a fashionable gloss black body, polished stainless steel accented lid and soft grey complements on the handle and lid release, the Russell Hobbs Buxton Kettle was designed to match the contemporary kitchen.
