KLF03RDUK Retro Style Kettle - Red

Great design and looks very nice in my kitchen.

Due to the way Amazon groups reviews for the same product that maybe shipped from different sellers I want to be clear that I purchased from Dawsons Department Store in the UK via Amazon.co.uk. This is the specific link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0752VHH7Z/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1. The reason I mention this is that some of the reviewers who gave negative feedback may well have received fake or reconditioned products, because their issues don't seem to make sense if you buy an original NEW SMEG kettle. My new red SMEG kettle arrived in good time. The letters are raised letters. The brand 'SMEG' emblazoned on the kettle are solid and look as if they will not fall off (not printed letters like some of the reviewers have described based on their purchase). Also the lid being plastic makes sense, otherwise you could burn yourself, so I'm happy it's made of good quality solid plastic. Further, the list has a rubber seal preventing steam and/or water leaking out when you poor water out of the spout. The main kettle body is metal and painted and does get hot, so be aware of this point. Having said that, the head is no different to other kettles out there on the market. I read a couple of reviewers have blistering paint, but I've not seen this porblem (yet). Time will tell I guess. Overall, I really like this kettle. Yes it's expensive, and yes some parts are plastic, but it's all solid and well made based on first impressions. I purchased this product ignoring all the negative reviews in the knowledge that had they been right, then I could always return the product for a refund. So far I'm not expecting to be one of those disappointed customers. Your mileage may vary.

The best money can buy.

This Smeg Kettle has a wonderful design; however, it has turned out to be a safety hazard. Late last night, while boiling water with the kettle for a night cup, it started leaking from the bottom, and water seeped directly into the electrics, creating a dangerous combination of water and electricity. Thankfully, my electrical system tripped, helping prevent further danger by cutting off power, but it’s still a serious safety hazard. Fortunately, I was unharmed, but this situation absolutely highlights a major risk with this product. The issue was clearly not small, as it was impossible to bring back on the kitchen sockets that tripped at the main electrical panel, leaving me without power for all my kitchen sockets and most of my kitchen appliances. My boiler—which provides heating and hot water—stopped working, along with my washing machine, dishwasher (which stopped mid-cycle and remained full of water), extraction hood, and all the kitchen sockets. My flat was left without heating, hot water, and with a dishwasher full of water all night. Early this morning, the electrician I emailed last night intervened to assess what the issue was. He confirmed that the Smeg kettle was faulty and caused the problems I was experiencing. I am grateful that I did not receive an electric shock myself! This has been an incredibly stressful ordeal, and I urge Smeg to address such serious safety concerns, which I have noticed have been reported by other customers in their reviews. A kettle that leaks water into its electrical components poses a significant hazard. I hope my experience helps warn others.

This is the best kettle I have ever brought, it's just so brilliant made,I brought the red one,And I must say it's one of the quitest kettle I have had. Iam so pleased.

Excellent statement piece with iconic design and best colour!

This kettle is smaller than the old one I replaced. However, luckily there are only two of us, so it is sufficient for us. I think these items are very expensive, but I have a Smeg fridge/freezer and like the kettle and toaster to match, so I have to put up with the expense. That's the drawback. The upside is that this is very stylish, matches my fridge and toaster and is remarked upon by visitors. Very sturdy too and my previous kettle lasted several years. You pays your money, you takes your choice really!

Adorable kettle we bought this to match our Smeg coffee machine matches perfectly. These products from Smeg are so robust and with a wipe they are clean. Now just to send for the toaster to make the set. I know they are a bit pricey but when you look and feel the great calibre of these products you know that they were worth ever penny
