My local Tesco in Holywell had a few of the Russell Hobbs Purity Kettle on the shelf reduced to £12.50. Seems to be around £30 everywhere else so a good deal if you're after a kettle.

I wouldn't touch Russell Hobbs. They allowed customers to continue buying dangerous irons, over a year after they knew they were faulty and customers had received severe electrical burns.
We had been using a dangerous iron for 6 months before seeing it on watchdog.
Appalling company. I wouldn't have one of they're products for free.
Shame not online as would of bought one, heat anyway.

Their kettles and toasters are fine. Been using them for over 5 years without any mechanical problems. Irons are another matter and I avoided them so far.

had this for 2 years! great kettle but doesnt hold much water and gets expensive to replace the cartridges.
Good quality, boils fast but is pricy to keep going!

great kettle but as above, doesnt hold much water and is expensive to keep replacing the filters, can leave the filter out if preferred.

Fantastic price OP!
Have to agree, great kettle, filters quickly and you can actually start boiling before it has finished filtering (I usually wait about 10 secs after filling from the tap).
We had the Breville Brita Kettle before which developed a common problem with the lid, absolutely no probs with this Russell Hobbs one 2 years later.
