Russell Hobbs Electric Kettle (Hot Water, Tea or Coffee, 1.7L, Push to open lid, Perfect pour spout, Removable washable filter, Illuminated switch, Chrome accents, Lemon, 3000W) Eden 27363

The kettle is beautiful. The colour and texture are amazing. Very happy with the purchase.

~ 1.7L~ 3000W~ 3 year guarantee: 2 years (+1 year online), details as per the instruction booklet included with the kettle~ EDEN/Ref: 27363~ LEMONNeatly boxed and exactly as currently pictured in the stock images above, the plastic-type kettle is indeed lemon, contrasted with a polished silver coloured finish & white cable/plug.It is fresh looking, if a touch Nigella!SIZE: (all on my measure):~ On its base, it stands 25.25 cm tall~ The base diameter is 15.5 cm~ Width, including the handle: roughly 22 cm‘Russell Hobbs’ is subdued in white lettering to one side of the lightly textured body. The push-down on/off switch is just below the nicely curved, large handle and glows blue when the kettle is on. The push-in lid opener button is towards the top of the handle and raises said lid to a better than average angle for filling.Before using for the first time, the instructions state:~ 'Fill to max, boil, discard the water, then rinse. Do this twice to remove any manufacturing dust, etc.’Following those instructions, I found that the initial plasticky odour had disappeared and did not taint my first cuppa, as can often be the case with new jug kettles.Compared to my oldie, it is practically the same in terms of weight, noise & speed.It does not shake, rattle & roll when it gets to the boil, but does linger longer before switching itself off.If you interrupt the boil, it does not carry on automatically when the kettle is returned.The body gets very hot, as you would expect.The cable length is (5 cm) shorter at around 70 cm, not including the UK plug. The cable tidy slot on the base is tight.On the negative side to O.H., the water level gauge is behind the handle, but it is not something I look at very often (I use mugs or a measuring jug), so is not a problem to me. However, I am worried that the silver coloured contrast will dull with use. I am already buffing the lid & handle up after each use!The aforementioned instruction booklet (English only) includes ‘Care & Maintenance’, the ‘Boil Dry Protection’ + how to remove the gauze filter for cleaning (inside, behind the spout).Would I have paid a penny short of fifty pounds for this kettle?Absolutely NOT, but I am well pleased at less than half that!Any problems, I will be back!

Takes aprx 4 mins to boil a full kettle. Cannot comment on longevity as only used once. No noisier than any other kettle I've had. Lovely bright colour.

Love the colour just right for my kitchen

I have the matching toaster and these are by far my favourite addition to my kitchen. They work well and the colour is just gorgeous. Perfect for anyone who loves yellow or just a bit of colour to brighten up their kitchen.

Very expensive, but aesthetically beautiful. Why rip the customer off just because it’s desirable?One star removed because of price!

Pours well looks good I like the lid on a hinge for filling at great price and looks well made

Love the colour
