I returned this without using at it was huge and bulky and HEAVY. Lifting this with one hand when empty felt heavy, let alone when full of hot water. Suddenly, there seem to be very few lightweight kettles out there. After doing my research on weights of empty kettles, I've gone back to Kenwood, although even their new kettles are heavier and bulkier than their old ones. A tip for designers - thing about the weight and how easy your kettle will be to handle when full, with one hand - making a kettle pleasant to use is important, as we tend to use them many times a day.
nordic nomadI have had nearly 6 years good use out of this kettle - it seems to boil fast, I like that you can flip the lid with one hand and fill it whilst being able to see how much water you're putting in through the side. I like that it connects to the base by just sitting on it any old way - does not need to be lined up if you see what I mean. And the nice blue lit button when it's on. All great. Sadly however the plastic stripe across the lid has just totally disintegrated after nearly 6 years - I noticed a crack in it yesterday and when I just touched it it turned to what looked like sugar glass, just broken into millions of little pieces. So it's a great buy if you are happy replacing it a few years down the line.
sam345| Reduce your energy consumption by only boiling what you need The Philips HD4671/20 brushed metal energy efficient kettle is a stylish metal kettle with unique feature: the one-cup indicator. This allows you to avoid boiling more water than you need, saving up to 66% energy compared to a regular kettle, and helping you to reduce your impact on the environment. Safe to use
The Philips HD4671/20's unique one-cup water level indicator allows you to only boil the water you need and no more, saving up to 66% energy compared to a regular kettle, reducing your boiling time, electricity bill and your impact on the environment. Note : Some common misuses with regards to leaks and crackling noises are scale related. Depending on water hardness, kettles do need to be descaled every 1-3 months. This will remove impurities and extend the life of the kettle. Also, there is a minimum amount of water that can be boiled in a kettle at once, if there is too little the kettle may not switch on to boil - this is a feature called boil-dry protection.Kettles will produce louder noise as it reaches boiling point, this is normal. If the lid is not closed completely before the unit starts to boil it will take longer for the unit to shut off. |    |
