Easy To Clean

Customers are highly satisfied with the ease of cleaning the kettle, praising its design that sits stable, doesn't wobble, and pours without drips. They also appreciate the added feature of a button to open the lid.

Fast Boil

Customers generally have positive feedback about the fast boiling feature of the Russell Hobbs Cordless Electric Kettle, with some mentioning it heats water quickly and quietly while others note it looks good and pours well. A few customers had issues with noise level but overall are satisfied with their purchase. Some customers also appreciate its design and ease of use. However, a small group of purchasers experienced a chemical taste in their tea initially and needed to wash/rinse the kettle before using it again.

Quality


Nice design and still working well after a year.


The base is sturdy and the flex is long enough for most positions.


It has a 2 year warranty-it managed to last until it was 2 years and 5 months old before it didn’t heat water up fully anymore.


It has an internal measure for one or more cups of water and at 3kw it boils a cup in less than a minute.

Shipping


Awful delivery driver gave me no time at all to answer our door before he was going back to his van/car.

    The guage is difficult to see as its behind the handle so its hard to fill with the amount of water i need

    Maybe its behind the handle is so it is fine for left and right hand users

    If youre anything like me you dont want to have to wait around any longer than necessary for your kettle to boil so that you can get on with the more important task of drinking your cup of tea


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    What i like about this kettle is that it does boil very quickly even when full for if you have friends around or you want a cup of tea and a pot noodle


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Aesthetically its not to my taste its a strange and rather old looking design but i knew that when i ordered it and selected it based on price and the good reviews about boil speed


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    But the design of the water gauge is questionable in my opinion
