What Which? did not say. June 1, 2008
17 out of 17 found this review helpful
As this kettle was one of Which?'s best buys, I bought it to replace my rapidly breaking-up old one. As a basic kettle it works well: it boils quickly so doing what a kettle is supposed to! However there are a number of points that stop this being a really good buy:
1: being metal the outside of this kettle gets very hot (unlike my former plastic one). If you want a metal body then there is not much that can be done about it (without, I guess, paying a lot more for additonal skins).
2: the light indicating that the kettle is on is not very noticable (being small and dim); however as this is a very noisy kettle it is easy to tell when it is on! (so one drawback, that of noise, counters the lack of a really good visual "on" indicator).
3: To fill the kettle the lid needs to be pulled off and this can be a little awkward as the handle is without any ridges. I particularly notice this if I have slightly damp hands (filling via the spout causes a degree of splash-back).
4: The most annoying aspect however is that there is no external indication of how full the kettle is.
All in all, though, if you want a cheap(ish) basic kettle this will serve - just bear in mind the contras when looking at alternatives.
