 Russell Hobbs 13618 Energy Saving Kettle December 26, 2008
C. Way (Swindon, Wiltshire)
Do not buy this model - the kettle makes the water taste "metallic". I initially thought it was because it was new but even after 12 boils the water still tastes the same - awful! I then went online and found loads of other people with the same issue. Just wished I had checked the reviews before buying it! I will be taking this kettle back to the shop tomorrow for a full refund. I have also emailed Russell Hobbs direct to advise them of the issue. Surely they should consider taking this off the market as it is obvioulsy a common fault!
 Overly-sophisticated June 23, 2008

Great idea but the manufacturers have lost sight of its primary function i.e. to boil water! You make some friends a pot of cofee, refil the kettle with cold water for those want tea...and it won't let you boil the water. The energy saving electronics seem to work on time not temperature so even though it is full of cold water you have to wait until the kettle deems it's OK to work. Water also has a plastic tase even after a couple of weeks of use. Don't buy it.

I bought one as it looks really nice and is energy saving, but I have had to send it back. It looks nice, keeps water hot for hours but the horrible metal taste does not go away.

Well, all I can say is that I wish I'd read the reviews before buying this kettle. Having had it for just over two weeks now, I am stuck with a kettle that leaves the weirdest aftertaste in the boiled water, so much so, visiting friends now avoid hot drinks when they pop round! It's that bad. Having contacted Russell Hobbs about this, I was told no one else had reported similar problems (doubt that) and to add 2tbsp of bicarbonate of soda and reboil twice to cure. This actually worked for a day or two but the foul, plastic/metallic taste is now back. I'm returning this product under guarantee...does anyone know of a decent kettle worthy of purchase?

I bought this kettle and read the reviews AFTER! But I thought I'd give it a fair try anyway. The awful taste does not go away with use. Russell Hobbs suggested boiling it with 2 teaspoons of Bicarb. I did - several times but taste did not improve. I've returned mine. Save yourself the trouble and don't buy one.
