Russell Hobbs Textures Electric 1.7L Cordless Kettle (Fast Boil 3KW, Black premium plastic, matt & high gloss finish, Removable washable anti-scale filter, Push to open lid, Perfect pour spout) 21271

Perfect, nice kettle and great value. Easy to use, light, button for ease of opening lid, noise level is good, fast boil. All in all for the money it is great value. Also looks nice as a bonus!

Nice fine mesh on the filter keeps the limescale out of the cups for hard water areas. I've been down the route of descaling kettles and after a few days the limescale is back so I've given up and I'm totally satisfied with the performance of this kettle's filter in doing the job instead.The great thing is there are replacement spares here on Amazon should you need another filter.I find it's better to boil a little more water than the cup marker indicates and then tip away and shake out the rest because with experience I can tell you that the last few drops of water contains lots of limescale specks.Add to this that it's fast and quiet, making this a top notch product all round.Excellent buy.

Likes: price; boils quickly (quicker than my previous R-H kettle); button-press to open lid, which opens wide; window which allows to see how much its filling at the tap (but see dislikes below).Dislikes: doesn't switch off quick enough on boiling (same as my previous R-H kettle) so steams for 2-3 seconds; the 'Perfect-pour' spout doesn't pour perfectly, especially if only boiling one cupful - water drips ether side of the spout on pouring (my previous R-H kettle had wider spout and _never_ dripped like this one....); window does not light up when switched on (previous R-H kettle window lit up making it much easier to see how much water was being boiled).I wanted a cordless kettle with button-opening lid and window and didn't want to spend much, interested in utility rather than fancy design or looks. I'd been fairly happy with my previous R-H kettle which similar design and price and lasted 4+ years before the button-lid stopped opening (broken) and I could see no way to repair it, so this R-H kettle seemed to fit the bill in both design and price. I've been using it for 4 months now and I'm happy enough with it but, like my previous R-H kettle, it doesn't switch off quick enough on boiling so produces a fair bit of steam until it does click off (it has never failed to click off, at least) so if I'm nearby I manually click it off. I don't know why they narrowed the design of the spout, my previous R-H kettle with wider spout poured just fine and never dripped, unlike this one which drips either side of the spout when up-ending the kettle when only one cupful of water is boiled - annoying. The kettle also doesn't seem to sit as snugly on the base so it wobbles around a bit when boiling.... The push-button lid works well though, and it does boil a full load quicker than my previous R-H kettle. To me the design and looks are fine too but then I'm not fussy about such things, just want it to do the job.If it had been a £40+ kettle I'd likely have returned it and tried another model or make, but for £19 with a 3-year warranty (2 years + 1 year on registering) it'll do!

Good kettle boils fast .only one downfall noisey.i have used RHs kettles many years why i stayed with one this time slightly disappointed as very noisy .It does boil fast god price and looks nice .still given 5 stars as value for money .

This is the third consective russel hobbs kettle of this design I have had over several years, I would describe them as quick, efficent and good value for money.

Good kettle. Light and easy to use. Boils nice and quick.

Seems okay, relatively comfortable to use, relatively fast boil and pours okay ish. But it's rather lightweight and plasticky. In retrospect, I think I should have paid more and got something a bit better. But it's got a three-year warranty so time will tell if it grows on me.

I bought this as a spare kettle. It’s adequate for the job - boils speedily and not too noisy. The outside is all black plastic and looks quite smart. Switches on and off effectively. The price reflects the cheaper style, and it’s not as nice as the stainless steel kettle I have from Russell Hobbs. However it does exactly the job that I purchased it for. Extra swift delivery from Amazon which was great.
