Do all owners experience this problem?** A: Never read so much bloody nonsense as these reviews saying there is condensation in the kettle. it's a kettle - it heats up water which makes steam. as the glass cools the steam / water vapour condenses onto it. Deal with it, it wont go away - if you don't like looking at it then you shouldnt have bought a clear kettle! **Q: Bought this kettle over a year ago and have been happy but now notice the bottom that heats the water has turned a rusty colour. Anyone else..?.** A: Yes, this is basically just a build-up of limescale from water with high levels of iron. It's not dangerous but does look scary. If you want to get rid of it, there's a home remedy of using baking soda or vinegar; however I recommend getting actual kettle descaler tablets. They work wonders and are easy to use. **Q: “is this kettle better than breville vkt071 glass kettle?** A: Well unlike these other idiots who reply and say they don’t know, I have actually used both kettles. The Breville has better build quality and boils a bit quicker. The switch on the Russell Hobbs is very flimsy. The rest is aesthetics really, whatever pleases your eye. **Q: Is it metal or plastic under the lid?** A: The entire top assembly is in black plastic, apart from a stainless steel trim around the outside ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well, seeing water level helps save energy *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 4 April 2022* I don't find the condensation a problem, and since I use distilled (not just filtered) water, the inside stays permanently mirror-like and scale free, so I'm pleased with the appearance - the water did seem to get a little cloudy on the very first use, but that's resolved now and it stays crystal clear. (I've removed the scale filter since we don't need it, although maybe that's affecting the pouring and the auto-off?)The "ring of blue lights" are a bit of a fake really - there are actually only two, either side of the handle, with a plastic diffuser to give the appearance of a ring of lights, so it's not all that bright and certainly doesn't light up the water spectacularly unless you're in complete darkness. But it's very effective in showing whether the kettle's on or off, and much better than our old one with a difficult-to-see white light over the on-off switch.I don't find the kettle noticeably noisier than others I've used, and as it boils very quickly it's not a problem to me.The auto-off does take a little while to kick in, especially if you're only boiling a single cup, but because it's so quick you'd typically be alongside it anyway so can just flip it off manually or lift the kettle, saving a tiny bit more energy as well!The biggest benefit is being able to see clearly exactly how much water is in the kettle , so you can boil only just enough for e.g. one mug or a small teapot and use the least amount of electricity possible (and of course avoids accidentally turning it when empty!) There is a marker for 1 cup, but it's not particularly prominent, so we've drawn lines for 1 cup (c250ml), 2-cup teapot (c500ml) etc. in black magic marker - not pretty, but much easier to see! In fact it's easiest to turn the kettle round so the marks are at the back, so you can see the water level against them though the glass as you fill the kettle (from our water distiller jug) through the open lid.All in all I'm very pleased with this purchase and would recommend it, especially so if you use a water distiller for drinking water. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well, generous size, beautiful blue when boiling *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 9 July 2026* I love this kettle! Holds a good amount of water, boils quickly, lights up a beautiful bright blue colour. So far, despite living in a hard water area, there is no residue in the lovely glass. Can easily see how much water is in the kettle. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great looking kettle… however… *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 31 August 2023* I recently purchased the Russell Hobbs Illuminating Glass Kettle and I must say, it has been an overall positive addition to my kitchen. The sleek design with the illuminating feature is not only visually appealing but also practical, making boiling water a more engaging process. The glass construction adds a modern touch and allows me to see the water level easily.The kettle's performance in terms of boiling speed is impressive, and I appreciate the convenience of the easy-pour spout. The blue illumination while boiling is a nice touch that adds a bit of flair to the kitchen ambiance.However, I must address a disappointment that I encountered. The issue of leaking from the bottom when pouring into a cup is something that caught me off guard. It's unfortunate that such a flaw exists, as it does detract from the otherwise positive experience. I've had to be cautious when pouring to avoid any spillage, which is not ideal.Despite this setback, I still find the Russell Hobbs Glass Kettle to be a solid choice with its aesthetic appeal, fast boiling, and illuminating feature. If the leaking issue were resolved, it would be a perfect addition to any kitchen. I hope the brand takes note of this concern and addresses it for future customers. ## Frequently Bought Together - Russell Hobbs Illuminating 1.7L Electric Cordless Glass Kettle with black/brushed stainless steel accents (Fast Boil 3KW, Washable anti-scale filter, Button to open lid, Perfect pour spout) 21600-10 - Russell Hobbs 2 Slice Toaster with Perfect Toast Technology for improved evenness (Wide slots, Lift & look feature, 6 Browning levels, Frozen & Cancel function, 850W, Brushed & Stainless Steel) 24080 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/48115778-illuminating-glass-kettle-1-7l-fast-boil-black-21600-10](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/48115778-illuminating-glass-kettle-1-7l-fast-boil-black-21600-10) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-09-14*
