Russell Hobbs Mode Electric 1.7L Cordless Kettle (Fast Boil 3KW, Black with Stainless Steel accents, Removable washable anti-scale filter, Push to open lid, Easy pour spout) 21400

Lovely kettle. Good value. Good looking. Quick boiling. Easy to fill. Easy to use. In a hard water area easy to descale.

This is our third one of these. I suppose that does mean they only last about 2yrs but then we probably use it 5 times a day, at least. Having tried glass, stainless steel and other plastic kettles, this design seems perfect to me. The kettle lights up with a pleasing blue LED light so you know it is on. It is quick and not too noisy. It is a plastic finish and this means the outside of the kettle does not seem to get too hot. The level viewing window is clear enough and it is easy to see the water level. The kettle is easy to fill, either by flipping the lid or via the spout. It pours well. The only downside is that the fine plastic mesh filter on the spout does break after a while but you can get replacements and I think the same problem applies to all kettles unless of course they do not have a filter at all. Stainless steel kettles get too hot I think. Glass kettles look good but they also get hot and are heavy and if you live in a hard water area then the water just looks horrible anyway. Stainless and glass kettles are also more expensive so you pay more for a less good outcome in my opinion. Some kettles I have bought had a strange taste to the water. This kettle does not. Also, this one really looks quite smart although beauty is of course in the eye of the beholder.

The Russell Hobbs Mode Kettle is a good choice for the price. It has a sleek design, boils water quickly, and is easy to operate. The vibrant red color adds a nice pop to the kitchen. However, the exterior tends to show water stains quite easily, which means it needs frequent wiping to keep it looking clean. Despite this minor flaw, it’s a reliable and affordable kettle that does the job well. Perfect if you’re looking for something functional and stylish without spending too much.

Perfect! Glad I read reviews and paid a little more for this kettle. Owned about 2 months. It's quiet (in comparison to my older one anyway), pours neatly with no drips and no leaks from anywhere. The light is pretty and is only on when in use rather than wasting bulbs and energy being on constantly. Very sturdy, lid is smooth to open and close. Fits neatly on base, no wobbles. One of the best I've ever bought actually! Highly recommend 👍🏻

In my younger days when dinosaurs ruled the earth, I had an office admirer who, several times a week, ten minutes ahead of lunch break would pitch up by my desk, to plead buying me lunch. Alas for him, I was not interested as I was already betrothed to another. But he was cute and nice and kind and I never wanted to be harsh. But polite turn downs got increasingly harder. Although, being a busy and time-poor career girl, lunchtimes were valuable for all manner of personal and domestic jobs or errands and so my excuses were usually genuine. I remember one time my kettle had stopped working and conveniently there was an electrical repairs shop around the corner from the office. (I did tell you this was a long time ago - people would actually take their broken toaster/iron/anglepoise lamp/vacuum cleaner to such repairing artisans; we'd never dream of throwing such an investment item before a repairer's estimate.) Anyway, that time I had the perfect excuse, backed by Exhibit A - my broken kettle in a supermarket carrier bag. However, Office Romeo was distraught: "I can't believe you're turning me down again, THIS TIME FOR A BROKEN KETTLE!! My reply? "But it's a Russell Hobbs!" The review bit: No regrets, boils quickly and the electric blue highlights which light up while it's boiling cheer me every time. Good pourer and looks smart. The only thing I would say it that it is quite heavy when filled, so possibly not too good for the elderly neighbour who asked me about it.

I don't even know when I bought this kettle - probably years ago, and definitely before the global pandemic - but I bought it for my parents when they needed some new kitchen appliances, and it's outlasted a microwave, a pressure cooker, an air fryer, and my dad. It's dutifully boiled the equivalent of the Atlantic Ocean without complaint, being used every day, at all times, to make cups of tea and coffee, pans on the hob, to clean drains, nervously defrost windows in a hurry, remove stains from tupperware, and alleviate allergies during hot summer nights. It's handled being cleaned and de-scaled a few times, and the plastic is holding up well without any signs of degrading/flaking. The LED still works, despite all the condensation over the years, and the little bit-catcher also still slides in and out as needed. It boils quickly and relatively quietly, has an auto-off, and doesn't dribble everywhere. It also slots onto the base easily, meaning you can spin the kettle round while you're waiting for it to boil, as every sensible person does. This does make it easy to use, and is useful for people with mobility issues or reduced strength in their arms; it can be lifted slightly, slid across a surface with little resistance due to the lack of protrusions, and filled under a tap. Need a kettle? Unless you're prone to being drawn in by prestige pricing, I can't see why you'd spend any more than this. Is your electro-thermically heated water superior to mine? Not at this value.

A good kettle but it arrived woth a UK plug and not Australian

My only concern was that it was wired for UK voltage not USA voltage, I had to spend more money for an adapter to be able to use it.

Super je suis contente j'aime trop la marque Russell Hobbs c'est un beau cadeau pour maman pour Noël . magnifique

Sur le descriptif il était marqué que la bouilloire était en matière métal et à la réception le corp de la bouilloire et en plastique ???

I had a Russell Hobbs kettle before, it was stainless steel and lasted over 10 years. I bought this product and when it arrived the plug was designed for UK socket so i had additional cost for an adapter. Stainless steel highlights meant just the base. The product is plastic. I gave it a 3 because i am not sure of product life. Its a wait and see.
