Awful design faults

Dreadful kettle. Lid opener stops working within a month. This is a replacement since the first one lasted about 4 months. The lid opener stops working so you have to try to open the lid with your nail. Dangerous if you are refilling the kettle while it’s still hot. Worst kettle I’ve ever owned (and I’m British so I’ve had many). Do not recommend. Will be asking for another replacement pretty soon as this one has stared to intermittently refuse to open. Disappointed to say the least.

Game changer!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) This kettle makes my life better. So glad I bought it. Why, you ask? I'll tell you. It's beautiful, it holds a lot of water, it boils quickly, and — best of all — it chimes to let me know the water has boiled. Total game changer, that last part. I get my cup of tea when I wanted it. I no longer forget about the kettle and change my mind when I remember an hour later. I also love that it's a bright, cheery red accent in my otherwise white-and-stainless kitchen.

Poor quality, cheap parts

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Lid starting sticking 3 days after we started using it. Upon examination, issue was a very cheap match mechanism. Returned and bought another brand.

Best electric kettle

Fantastic kettle- heats up fast and stays hot. Easy to pour, great quality. I had one for years that I lost in a flood, and couldn’t wait to replace it. Love this kettle!

Nice Looking

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I bought this a month ago and have to pry the lid open with my fingernail. kettle works great other than that. This is annoying. Tried to contact warrant but find it very difficult, no response. Still looking for a way to get a hold of warranty department.

Awful beeping noise. Would not have bought.

No where did it warm me that the kettle was going to loudly beep at the start and end of every cycle. And offly i didn't think to look up whether there kettle was going to unnecessarily beep at me. What a useless and annoying feature which seemingly can only be prevented by physically disabling the speaker.

Looks good in the kitchen

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) We have been using this kettle daily for a month now. I love that I can select water temperature. It heats up quickly and when pouring my hand doesn't get touched by hot steam like my previous kettle.
