Brilliant find - I am sure that this one won't leak like the £40 Russell Hobbs kettle that I bought! :-) Heat added

It sure wont, it is better than the expensive ones I've bought :smiley:
I bought two of these when they were £5.00, after my upteenth expensive ones bit the dust. Being using the Asda one for over a year. It is quiet and quick. You can't go wrong for £3.00.

Yes I want pictures too!
This is a very good price for a cheapo kettle.
Just to add I also had a russell hobs kettle that cost £40+ that fell apart. The handle fell off and the lid knackered and It also leaked if I remember rightly. It was a stainless steel cordless one with a glass stand, it looked nice when I bought it. But I wont buy anything by russel hobbs ever again because of this.

I bo ught one of these a few months ago. The filter quickly fell off and I find the cord a little bit short to be honest but for £3 I guess you can't really complain.
I too have the same wok. It's very flimsy, Several times it has come close to breaking and bending in half due to the weight of what's in it.

Would avoid at any price - Had numerous Smart Price producs (and their Onn ones too) all have lasted less than 6 months... sorry but I'm not voting on this one x

I second that. Had many ASDA electrical items fail!

I've done quite a bit of personal kettle research (ahem - saddo I know) cos ours is falling to pieces after a grand age of 11, but I didn't look at the white plastic styile, just the dearer branded type that look a bit nicer.
Seems to me that most dear kettles suck a biggy. They all have defects (leaks, water tastes of plastic, hard to use, long time to boil, etc) according to the reviews and there's not one that is loved by everyone.
If you can stand the look of it, I reckon these are a blooming bargain if they work for a reasonable length of time.
Innit a shame they don't make em like they used to though. Talk about disposable society. China do seem to have a worryingly upper hand these days.

lol Asda and there shoddy electricals.
i have had a microwave didnt work out of the box so took that back. a kettle which blew up and electrecuted my 8 month's pregnant wife!. a deep fat fryer the handle fell off of the basket when lifting chips, out and a sandwich toaser that also went bang.
Needless to say i learnt my lesson and i will never buy another durabrand,onn or cheap asda electrical product again no matter how insanly low the price is :smiley:

Was in asda today. These are actually surprisingly good quality. I bought a similar one from asda three months ago for almost 3x the price and it's fallen apart. However this looks very simliar to the one I bought three years ago for £5.
Bargain.
