Brushed Stainless Steel Electric 1.7L Cordless Kettle (Quiet & Fast Boil 3KW, Removable washable anti-scale filter, Push button lid, Perfect pour spout) 20460

Good, fast, quiet kettle. Made a strange whistling noise initially, but that soon went after it had settled in (think it was the holes in the bottom that sense when it has boiled). Needs quite a few boils to remove metallic taste. Now its settled, it's a great kettle.

This is a PERFECT kettle. It will save you money as soon as you start using it and setting your boil temp. to 90C or less, it is super-quiet and boils pretty fast. Have bought one for myself and one for a family member. Really happy!

I gave a 3 star review because we found the kettle very noisy, but have edited this because it seems quieter after a bit of use, and overall we like it. If the radio is on we can't hear it above the kettle noise. We had the previous model and this one is about the same noise level in spite of it's claims to be their quietest kettle. This is no surprise really since the heating element appears to be the same and there are only minor design changes to the kettle body. It's disappointing since we opted to buy the new version not a direct replacement in the hope it would be quieter. Living in a soft water area the previous one lasted a very long time and was generally a very sound, reliable, simple kettle, and I would expect this new version to be the same. We had problems with the lid catch of the old one and this has been improved. The lime filter looks better too. I like to fill through the spout mostly because the lid mechanism tends to fail, and irritatingly the window on the new kettle doesn't come low enough to see when you have one mug of water in. This is a minor issue since you can just judge it but its a retrograde design. I slightly prefer the cleaner design of the old version, but there's not really much difference. The main benefit is the hopefully better lid.

It really is fast and quiet. The little spout filter needs cleaning regularly or the pour slows right down. If the blue light disappears (This may happen if the kettle is banged down, and not put down more gently.) just use your fingernail and ease it out from between the metal outer case and the base when the kettle is cold.

Very quiet; you have to stand close to hear it. It takes 52.4 seconds to boil a 250ml cup. I highly recommend it; this is my second one.

Loved this kettle. Sleek, quiet and rapid boil. Bought in 2021. However now (2015) it's started leaking water. Need to buy a new one.

When the hinge on the lid of our 8-9 year-old copy of this kettle broke we were delighted to find the exact same model still available. This kettle has a clear fill window on both sides and an ‘on’ light that couldn’t be clearer, running right around the bottom of the kettle. It boils very quickly and extra quietly, so you still hear your radio programme while it is boiling. There are also bright red internal tabs that indicate the fill. The one drawback is that the angle of the handle makes it a bit awkward for older wrists when it is filled to beyond half of its capacity.

Good kettle, boils 500ml water from cold in about 1' 20". Looks good, seems well built for the price. Not noticeably louder or quieter than other kettles we've had. BUT: loses a star for not having any audible notice of set temperature being reached. No mechanical switch to click, no electronic beep to notify you, which is a tiny bit irritating. Other than that it's great!
