Russell Hobbs...no thanks.

They don't value the safety of they're customers. They carried on selling faulty irons even after they knew that they were electrocuting people and didn't recall them until 18 months after they found out that people were getting serious injuries.

Some might say that this isn't an iron and they've used russell Hobbs for years, but it is the fact that they are willing to put they're customers at risk, over profit. It's the same company at the end of the day.

Great find. I've had one of these for the past year or so and it's one of my best buys. It heats up and boils in very quick time and is super-quiet. And, yes, for once the claim of 45 seconds for one cup is accurate, even after a year's use. Highly recommended.

The camels told me about this earlier this evening - I asked Flubit and have now bought from them for £19.50.

I haven't experienced any degradation of the metal anywhere. This is definitely a quality kettle that should cost a lot more. I'd go as far as to say it's a classic.

how do i no when to return to the kitchen to pour??

thanks just brought one now

That's OK it's only either the missus or the kids (after a bit of bribery) that ever make the brews :wink:.

Damn, I bought this a couple of months back at £30!

Anyway, good purchase even at that price..
My only complaint with it so far is that the guide on the sides show a mug extra than it will actually make.

Good kettle. Although my water gauge started getting some condensation in it after a few uses.

had this kettle but gave off very funny metallic taste that I've never had before. tried different remedies like bicarbonate etc but nothing shifted it and ended up returning. replaced it with the based kettle from same range which was fine.

great kettle. i have one and it is fast and quiet. no weird taste

I tried removing the red level indicator from inside but didn't help and #2 would just annoy me but great that you found a solution. As i say, replaced mine with the RH 20160 which had no issues at all

Great deal though

Ooh that's a nice kettle. Tempted!

Ordered two great kettle.
Thank you Dejaque2k.

Great kettle. Well so far. Purchased a week a go for £28 from amazon. Looks good boiling with blue illumination and quick too.

Ok I got mine today. Tried it out. It does have a distinct smell inside and the water does have that plastic taste after boiling. Took the red meter out and no real change. Before I go hunting around for solutions, anybody had this problem and fixed it?
