Lighter weight when full. Easy pour. Easy grip. Quick boil. 1 cup boil.I like that lid is removable to fill so wide neck when filling therefore less splashing. Only thing that could improve this kettle would be an on light but the almost immediate noise of it starting to heat alerts it’s on. A very good value simple kettle at around £20 that beats many more expensive ones. Recommend it.

does exactly what a kettle should do

Pros: Looks good. Boils quickly. 360 degree base makes it easy to put back in place. Can be left switched on with the mains off (so with a smart socket, 'Alexa, put the kettle on' works as long as you remember to leave it correctly set up.) Full 3kW so boils quickly. No issues with water taste (as others have reported.) 1, 2 and 3 mug fill levels well marked inside, if you can be bothered to use them.Cons: No external water level indicator: you need to remove the lid to see how full it is. Metal construction with no insulation, so it drops back to room temperature much more quickly than a plastic or insulated one, using more energy and time to reboil. Power cord is ridiculously short.

A basic kettle that's relatively quiet and quick to boil. It has a good pouring spout and a separate lid, which allows a full inspection of its underside to be carried out (plastic tops tend to disintegrate after some time, depositing nasty pieces of plastic in one's brew). The boiled water did suffer from a horrible plastic taste for a while (nowhere near as much as a plastic-bodied kettle), but removing the useless/pointless red plastic water level guide put a stop to that. In all, a great kettle that is reliable, good value for money and one that I would certainly buy again

Only just acquired so not tested by time yet. What I like about it are:1) Rapid boil time - people say it's noisy but no noisier than any other kettle i've had. In fact I like noisy as it tells you it's working and you can hear when it's ready.2) Excellent design - not too bulky and obtrusive on worktop. Handle very comfortable. Lid fits well. I like that you can remove the whole lid - easy for cleaning and I've found in the past that those with button sprung lids eventually don't shut off as the lids tend to lose their fit eventually.3) A good pourer. My last Alcok one was a nightmare - spewed water all round the mug on the worktop.4) I'm not boiling up plastic and poisoning myself. Inside there was a red plastic water level indicator - totally unnecessary - I have eyes - but it is removable with a bit of technique ie Wiggle it as you pull upwards and sideways.. The only other plastic is under the lid and at the top of the 'pole' the indicator was attached to, and the removable filter.5) It sits firmly on its base - someone complained it wobbled - suspect her cord wasn't in the groove.6) Cord unwinds to a decent length. Adjustable.Not sure about:1) The remaining bits of plastic but the water doesn't really come in contact with them2) The smell initially - I think it's more or less gone now but I haven't yet tried it yet by drinking plain boiled water. I had aMorrisons kettle before, that never lost that horrible smell and contaminated taste. I question why some kettles smell awful when you first boil them and some don't - is it the brushed steel vs the unbrushed?All in all it seems good value for the money. Recommend so far.

Чайник пришёл быстро, всё хорошо, но после того как открыл коробку,то обнаружил, что чайник разбитый. Я не думаю, что продавец этого не видел. Это очень недобросовестный продавец. Я хотел заказывать у него и другие товары, но после такого я предпочтение отдам другим продавцам, которые будут проверять товар перед отправкой.

This is the third of these that I've bought. The last two lasted 2 years each, give or take a month, before failing in the kettle switch or base area (not the separate base that powers it.) On taking it apart I can see a bit of water and corrosion in that area. It gets a great deal of use in our 4 person household, probably being used about 25 times a day at least for tea, coffee, and water for veg boiling etc.For the money though I feel it is good value, costing £8 per year as they are currently £16. Being steel there is a minimal amount of plastic in contact with the water, just a small indicator inside, plus it does not have the plastic level window that always seemed to leak on other kettles. Also it pours very well from the steel spout, as opposed to plastic kettles that tend to dribble after a while. It's quick to boil, especially just for one mug's worth of water. This is our third, as mentioned, being the best kettle under £25 that we've tried.One small design fault - the lid needs to be put on with the 'grab' part aligned to the spout/handle, if this part is placed across the kettle the lid does not quite sit fully down, leading to it taking longer to sense that it is boiling before it switches off. If this was corrected in the one I've just ordered or in the future I'd give it 5 stars.

When I ordered it, I'd expected (falsley) that you could pour water in at te spout and there'd be a measure up the side. Instead, you've got to remove the lid each time to fill. It's cheap, it's light, it's the right colour but not what I'd wanted. C'est La Vie.
