Russell Hobbs Brushed Stainless Steel & Black Electric 1.7L Cordless Kettle (Fast Boil 3KW, Removable Washable Anti-Scale Filter, Push to Open lid, Perfect Pour spout) 20441

Exactly as described. Fairly quiet and is straightforward to lift and fill. We like the shape. Hopefully this kettle will last. We have tried a number of brands and find it if we get two years out of them we are doing well.

This is a great value good-looking and efficient kettle. It is made of stainless steel with a brushed finish. It has black plastic in the places where you are likely to touch it as it obviously gets quite hot so; the handle, the lid and the base. It’s quite a nicely designed object. It pours nicely with its well-engineered “perfect pour” spout. You can actually boil fairly small amounts of water in it which is good and it has “water window” so that you can accurately judge how much water you need to boil. Being a cordless kettle, it sits well on its base and can be rotated on it through 360 degrees. It has a concealed element and the insides of the kettle are smooth meaning that it’s easy to keep clean. If you live in an area with hard water, this makes it easier to remove any build up of limescale. Also, to prevent any loose limescale ending up in your drink, there is a filter on the spout which works reasonably well. I bought this kettle to replace another Russell Hobbs product which ended up (after many years of use) with a broken switch. That was a slightly more expensive version of this kettle that is described as “Quiet & Fast Boil”. Although it is true to say that the old kettle was a bit quieter to boil than this one, it had the disbenefit of being more difficult to clean inside and descale due to having a “diffuser” inside which was more prone to limescale build up. So unless the quiet boil feature is important to you, I would say that this cheaper model is better if you live in an area with hard water. Overall I have found this kettle to be well-suited to my needs. I don’t always need to boil much more than a cup of water so it’s good that it can do that pretty quickly. But it also has a good capacity of 1.7 litres for the times that I want to boil more. I definitely recommend this kettle but if you want the quieter version and don’t have hard water then the slightly more expensive model is also worth considering.

Works great and looks sleek. Delivers on the promised fast boil It looks better than expected after a few months in a hard water area. It cleans up well, especially the brushed steel exterior. It doesn't leak, very durable. It makes noise when boiling but nothing unexpected

I am very happy with this kettle it doesn't take long to boil it's a really nice kettle I recommend it

This is a Russell Hobbs classic which I've come back to. It's not heavy nor huge, so it's easy to handle and sits neatly on the work top, where it does it's job quickly and without lots of noise. The lid pops wide open for filling and the spout pours in a suitably refined manner. I'm very pleased to have this old friend back.

A stylish looking kettle that boils the water in no time.

This kettle developed a leak after one year of use, the water leaking from the level indicator. I had registered the item when I received it so it was supposed to be under guarantee until December 2027. I contacted Russell Hobbs in the UK since item was purchased from Amazon UK, to make a claim under the guarantee. First of all it takes them about a week to reply to emails then they referred me to a Greek Customer Service number as I am resident in Greece. I tried calling the number several times and got a message saying it was out of service and the Greek website also appears to be down. I got back in touch with Russell Hobbs UK asking them to escalate the issue to resolve but they just said they referred it to Greece again, assuring me they would reach out to me in a couple of days. As I suspected nobody contacted me from Greek Customer Service and I've again tried contacting UK office again, so probably have another week to wait for a response. Now been without the use of my kettle for four weeks. The service from Russell Hobbs so far has been shameful and they have not honoured the guarantee. They are very slow to respond and less than helpful when they do. There doesn't appear to be a telephone number for the UK office to speak directly with someone. I've subsequently discovered that other buyers have had similar issues with this product leaking, therefore I suggest people should choose another brand. Update: Advised by Russell Hobbs to contact seller Amazon. I did this and Amazon kindly gave me a full refund.

Excellent kettle, easy to fill, no spills, fast (but lost a star as noisy), no taint of water as metal, easy to see how much water in kettle, switches off boiling after a few seconds so no waste of power - lost a star as noisy.

Sehr leiser Wasserkocher. Leider nur mit UK-Stecker...

nice look, good price, does the job and is extremely quick

Buon bollitore ad un prezzo decisamente buono. Forse il look non è dei migliori ma per quello che deve fare va bene così. Scelto perché è in acciaio ( prima ne avevo uno in plastica della stessa marca) Consigliato.

10/10

J'ai voulu changer de marque, l'ancienne était de marque Moulinex. Je suis surtout déçue du bruit, elle est vraiment trop bruyante c'est ma seule déception, le reste est convenable
