 Badly designed December 16, 2008
D. Corlett (UK)
I think this is a very badly designed kettle. The water level indicator is underneath the handle so you can't easily see it while filling the kettle, plus it has no minimum amount marked on it - not very good for trying to save energy by boiling only the amount you need.
 Puddled! November 14, 2008

Sadly it's not possible to not give any stars in a review! This kettle is awful. Right from the word go,everytime it is used it leaves a large puddle on the work surface. Not only is this a right pain, having to mop up all of the time, but I can't help but feel a little bit uneasy about the electricity and water combination! It has also buckled the work surface which i'm sure our landlord will be overjoyed about!So I'm shopping for another kettle and it won't be made by Russell Hobbs, that's for sure!
 Great kettle - no problems at all November 4, 2008

Bought this kettle over a year ago to replace my old faithful Russell Hobbs kettle. Have had none of the problems mentioned by other reviewers, in fact have had no problems whatsover. I am now about to purchase a second one as a Christmas present.

Bought one a few months ago, the lid broke almost immediately... so I took it back, got another, which then started to leak... so I took it back and got another one, which has -- yup, you guessed it -- started to leak. Rubbish.
I'm going back to my beaten up old plastic Morphy Richards kettle, it might not look as smart as this one but it's 10 times better in terms of build and function. Avoid like the plague.
Leaks. April 14, 2008

I bought mine 5 years ago and it has the same leaking problem when it's filled with over a pint of water. I've found a way to get around this, which is to turn the kettle slightly until it makes a subtle click sound. This still won't stop the leak completely but has saved me from having to wipe the surfaces all the time. My other complaint with this model is that the water indicator is written in material so easy to be worn out - it became indistinguishable in a few months. Also the florescent lamp went out within weeks which I haven't bothered to replace.
Still I've been using this kettle for 5 years now and its performance is consistent, probably because I only use filtered water in it, but it has served its purpose for long enough hence 2 stars.
