Customer Review: Don't waste your money
Summary: 1 Stars
Let's start with context: I'm British so having a kettle is not optional and I have a lifetime's experience of kettles!
When we arrived in the US 14 months ago our accommodation didn't have a kettle and we didn't know any local shops so we immediately ordered this kettle. Less than 14 months later I have had to buy a new kettle as this one became temperamental about switching on a couple of months ago and finally refused altogether. It had always felt pretty shoddy and light-weight - on a par with the kind of cheap kettle I took to college some 25 years ago, (very few like this are sold any more t'other side of the pond - bottom end of the market only, costing less than $15 final price.) For between $16 and $20 final price you can easily get much better and more stylish ones over there.
Anyway, back to this kettle. On/off switch is very flimsy and easily comes out of its holding clips. It has an exposed element so it gets "furred up" easily. It's base is so flimsy that the plastic covering of the connecting point was already bent and distorted when we received it. Boil time is pretty average, (actually pretty slow if you're used to British kettles.) Scale screen broke within a couple of months when my husband's finger went through it when he was taking it out to clean it.
I have replaced it with a Hamilton Beach one from a famous discount store for $20. It's a far better kettle: sturdier, faster boiling, concealed element, metal gauze scale screen which should prevent accidental breakage, it's the central mount type rather than the jug type which is far more convenient and it's a lot more stylish (shape and it's stainless steal and black.) Spend your $20 on the HB one!
