Customer reviews
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 April 2025I couldn’t be happier with this kettle! The stainless steel design is sleek and way better than plastic—feels more durable and just gives a cleaner, higher-end look. I love that I can choose the exact temperature I want, whether it’s for tea, coffee, or anything else. It boils incredibly fast and even keeps the water warm afterward, which is super convenient.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 September 2024For about six months now I've been wanting another big branded kettle to match other appliances in my kitchen but didn't want to pay the money. I came across this one and trust me its just as good if not better. It looks amazing, it boils in no time and you control the temperature of the water. A great buy for that amazing price.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 March 2024I did a lot of research before buying this kettle. The issue that many people have had with the lid is easily resolved by gently pinching one of the sprung metal cutouts with a pair of long nose pliers. This minor adjustment takes 10 seconds and it makes the lid easier to lift off, reducing the chances of the knob breaking. Be careful not to make the lid too loose, because you don't want it to fall off when you tip the kettle! Before buying this product I read the manual to check that the beeping noises can be muted, which they can. However, the beeps are very subtle and I therefore don't feel the need to mute them. The kettle has a reassuring weight to it - it is well designed and made and I hope to still be using it in many years time!

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 July 2024Love this kettle , looks stunning in the kitchen and will have friends envious! Bought because I'm pedantic about a clean kettle and use it all on my OWN! However, even though I have only used it a short time (2 or so weeks), the kettle has terrible limescale already. Just to add, I always take out any access after boiling it. This is not the manufacturers fault so maybe not a fair comment? Is there a way to make kettles nowadays to address the limescale a bit better?
Otherwise, highly recommend ❤️

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 April 2025I have been scouring reviews trying to find a silent. Our old one beeped loudly at every possible opportunity. I could only find clear statements that kettles could be muted on £150+ models so I gave up and ordered this one. I was pleased to find that it does not beep much and when it does is quite quiet. Even better, a 3 second press of the power button totally silences it. Other plusses are the bar that shows how far through the heating process it is, the illuminating of the 80, 85, 90 and 95 degree buttons as it reaches those on its way to 100, and the display of the temperature of the water after the kettle turns off until it gets below 80. The only minus I have found, on early use, is that the minimum amount of 250ml does not come high enough in the kettle to show in the volume level window but I don't think that will be a problem. I'm hoping it will keep working for a long time.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 February 2025Love this kettle. Very nice looking and sturdy. I purchased two, one for my kitchen and one for my caravan. No complaints.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 January 2025The Kettle looks amazing, would recommend, the only thing I wish was different is the lid, it would be better if it popped up instead of having to be pulled off and completely removed from the kettle
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 February 2025Nice bit of kit , easy fill and no spillage when pouring. Do like the different temperatures for the different drinks

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice looking, fast
The kettle is easy to use, with touch buttons that have functioned flawlessly so far. I appreciate the removable cover and the reduced noise compared to my previous kettle. Given the price, I am extremely satisfied with this purchase. Some people expressed concerns about the metal exterior potentially being hot to touch. While this is true, I’ve never accidentally touched the hot surface due to the well-designed handle. Additionally, the removable cover is thoughtfully designed to prevent accidental contact with the hot areas. Overall, this kettle is a great value for the price.
Update: Still working well with no issues. I bought another one to use in my home country.
