Just as required

It is a lovely kettle that is quiet and is easy to handle, lovely big handle easy lid. Overall a joy to use!!!

Best kettle ever.

Love this kettle. Quiet, quick and looks good.

Boils quickly

I ordered this kettle to replace a M&S one that had finally given up. I thought paying a bit more for a kettle would buy me one of similar quality to the dearly departed M&S model. I was very disappointed. I didn't feel that the metal was particularly well finished and the semi-clear plastic panel that is intended to let you see how much water is in the kettle is so opaque that you can't see anything. The on/off switch is at the base of the handle and difficult to find and the led indicator is tiny and too close to the base to be able to see without a level of contortionism. It works fine, in the sense that it boils water, but so does a cheap kettle from Tesco.

Had to return as the water if not freshly boiled was tainted by a metallic taste that did not go away after a month.

large sized kettle a little wider than the last one we had but very stable.heats up to boil quickly and not to noisily. Finish seems to be good.

I was attracted by the look of this kettle but the style has failed to deliver on a practical level. It is filled by removing the top. My old kettle had a push area which raised the top while it is more of a struggle to pull this one off. I can manage to pull it when the kettle is cold but trickier if you want to top up the kettle soon after it has boiled. The water level indicator at the side is hard to distinguish and must be ever so difficult for someone with low vision. The inclusion of an interior light could have made this easier. The on/off switch appears fragile and I am not confidant this will last long. Not a big fan of the weight balance when pouring either. The kettle is also relatively noisy. I wish I had kept my old unattractive leaking kettle.

Good quality product

Excellent and great value

Unhappy that such a expensive kettle is leaking already and there is no way it seems to contact the seller to arrange for a replacement. Nice looking kettle but beware. It'll leak

not a happy experience with this kettle. Within minutes of switching on there was a smell of burning material. We expected this was normal and would go,away but it persisted. Something was making the water smell and taste like TCP. Also not a good design for small amounts, 1cup, pouring and filling difficult. Also very noisy! Returned via Amazon and got an immediate refund, HurraH!

Very nice Well packed .Thank you

Stylish kettle and very pleased with the purchase. Think De'Longhi are currently the best in the market for quality, style and price. Would recommend.

This is a lovely kettle and looks so stylish on my work surface

Nice looking kettle which we bought to replace a kettle with a leaking bottom. It's a fast boil kettle which I found no louder than any other I've owned. The lid comes off just fine for filling with a tug.However... boil the kettle, make tea, all great. Make another cup of tea by just topping up the old boiled water and the tea tastes of TCP. From research there's a coating they put on the inside of some kettles to prevent limescale from sticking and that combined with Chlorine in the water makes the weird taste. It looks like twice boiled water just adds to the problem. Your mileage may vary, we do have particularly hard water where I live and who knows if the Chlorine levels are uniform across counties. I'm sure this issue isn't isolated to this particular kettle though.

The lid opening when rusty. But The seller kindly refunded my money.
