Dualit Lite Kettle - 1.5L Jug Kettle - Polished with Black Trim, High Gloss Finish - Fast Boiling - 72010

Lovely looking kettle and quick to boil.

I bought this kettle to replace a Russell Hobbs model that sounded like a jet taking off when in use. I find this kettle to be very quiet, in fact I double checked to see if I'd switched it on because I didn't hear the usual roar lol.The kettle is a lovely size and looks great. It's sturdy and the handle feels good, and it also pours really well.The underside has a place to coil any excess cable do it's not trailing around the worktop. I realise many kettles have this feature, but in this case the cable is actually held in place very well.Best kettle I've had in ages!

It's a kettle, for goodness sake. Of course it boils water. That's all it does.OK, it's quite a heavy kettle - or possibly, a sturdy, solid kettle if you prefer.Inevitably the bright polished metal body and stand gets covered with water stains and fingerprints. Serious wiping and cleaning is needed to retain the good-as-new look.The lid is a devil. When it's closed its held in place by two little bent metal spring clips on the inner edge. It is very stiff to open and close. It certainly won't flap open accidentally when full of recently boiled water. So 10/10 for safety I guess. But, oh what a nuisance in regular use. You are advised that the spring clips can be adjusted by bending them more or less to achieve the desired friction. But that's the job of a lifetime. Bend a bit. Uh-oh, too loose. Bend a bit the other way. Uh-oh, too tight. Bend a bit back again. Uh-oh, too loose again. Etc etc. Even when it's almost perfect you're certain, "Another little tweek will get it ... " Uh-oh!Anyway, it does indeed boil water (did I mention that?) and I can't see it wearing out or breaking any time soon. But nice as it is, it is quite expensive. So overall, it's not really a best buy recommendation.

Great looking kettle and fairly quiet when boiling. Lid was a little tight but instructions showed how to alter & now fine. Easy to use, amount of water makes approx 6 mugs of tea.

Well built and sturdy

Daily use for tea. Easy to use and compact

It looks good on your wortop and works well. However ours has given up after 30 months - just keeps switching itself off. Given that it costs 3 to 4 times that of other high street makes, it's not good value for money. Tesco or Kenwood for instance last longer and work just as well.

Love this kettle it is so stylish an looks good with my Dulit toaster
