Perfect, nice kettle and great value. Easy to use, light, button for ease of opening lid, noise level is good, fast boil. All in all for the money it is great value. Also looks nice as a bonus!

Fab kettle , it is fast boil and looks stylish , worth the money 👍

Likes: price; boils quickly (quicker than my previous R-H kettle); button-press to open lid, which opens wide; window which allows to see how much its filling at the tap (but see dislikes below).Dislikes: doesn't switch off quick enough on boiling (same as my previous R-H kettle) so steams for 2-3 seconds; the 'Perfect-pour' spout doesn't pour perfectly, especially if only boiling one cupful - water drips ether side of the spout on pouring (my previous R-H kettle had wider spout and _never_ dripped like this one....); window does not light up when switched on (previous R-H kettle window lit up making it much easier to see how much water was being boiled).I wanted a cordless kettle with button-opening lid and window and didn't want to spend much, interested in utility rather than fancy design or looks. I'd been fairly happy with my previous R-H kettle which similar design and price and lasted 4+ years before the button-lid stopped opening (broken) and I could see no way to repair it, so this R-H kettle seemed to fit the bill in both design and price. I've been using it for 4 months now and I'm happy enough with it but, like my previous R-H kettle, it doesn't switch off quick enough on boiling so produces a fair bit of steam until it does click off (it has never failed to click off, at least) so if I'm nearby I manually click it off. I don't know why they narrowed the design of the spout, my previous R-H kettle with wider spout poured just fine and never dripped, unlike this one which drips either side of the spout when up-ending the kettle when only one cupful of water is boiled - annoying. The kettle also doesn't seem to sit as snugly on the base so it wobbles around a bit when boiling.... The push-button lid works well though, and it does boil a full load quicker than my previous R-H kettle. To me the design and looks are fine too but then I'm not fussy about such things, just want it to do the job.If it had been a £40+ kettle I'd likely have returned it and tried another model or make, but for £19 with a 3-year warranty (2 years + 1 year on registering) it'll do!

Good quality. Works really well. Quick to boil water

I have had a more expensive russell hobs before, when it finally died I wanted another russell hobs so I found this one going for less then £30 so I got it.Very quick to boil, not too noisey, nice light weight kettle.I am staying with Russell hobs now as personally I find they last longer then other brands.

Great value, books quickly & quietly, easy fill and easy pour & looks great too. Good quality for the price!

A delightful looking kettle .Pours beautifully. Very fast boil. BUT when it is switched on it " It crackles loudly when it starts heating up and continues until it boils". The surface where it stands is solid.Andrea Wilkin

I bought this as a spare kettle. It’s adequate for the job - boils speedily and not too noisy. The outside is all black plastic and looks quite smart. Switches on and off effectively. The price reflects the cheaper style, and it’s not as nice as the stainless steel kettle I have from Russell Hobbs. However it does exactly the job that I purchased it for. Extra swift delivery from Amazon which was great.
