Russell Hobbs 20460 1.7L Kettle - Silver

Quiet Kettle

Purchased this kettle as my wife and myself were fed up having to shout or leave the room while boiling water for a cup of tea.
On arrival we found it well packed and looking good especially whe filled with water the measuring viewers were on either side.
After rinsing out we plugged it in and switched on, the first thing we noticed was a blue warning light telling us power was on, excellent, when it started to boil the ware we did notice a very low sound which lasted until the water was boiled and automatically switched off.
The noise was very low and we could talk , lister to the radio/tv without having to make any adjustments for noise as, for all intents, there was none or very little, wish I had this year's ago.
I have found only one thing that I personally think could have been better and that is the pouring spout, the angle is wrong and the water shoots out further than you would think, hot water has hit my hand twice, I am now wary of this and watch how I pour, this is the reason it only gets 4 stars.

All in all, with the abo e notification, a good looking quiet Kettle that boils quick with very little noise, recommend.

Very quiet,stylish kettle

I had bought 2 previous kettles that were both twice the price including the diamond cut delonghi but they were both poor quality and noisy.

This is by far the most stylish stainless steel kettle and it does not scrimp on stainless steel as it is in the lid and handle.

Very nice ellumination in blue base rim,and very quiet bubbling noise.

Only thing I would say that is a shame is no illumination in the water gauge but still excellent kettle,easy to wipe clean.Read full review

Russel hobb Buckingham kettle

Overall it's nice and really quiet . Stainless steel with blue light illuminating on the bottom during boiling. The only negative is that stinks and water tastes absolutely horrible . It needs at least 10 times to boil water to make it taste quite normal .Read full review

ideal for making tea

though it's not as quiet as rated it still boils OK ad can't fault it considering these are expensive in shops but I certainly regret buying it as it is good value for money.
The blue light does come but intermittantly. so the light features can in act work. whereas when i bought it was listed as NOT working but that isn't entirely true so this was a nice surprise given that it is refurbished.Read full review

A very good kettle. Does what it says on the box.

A modern look with power on led lights, very fancy.
Quick boil but not as quiet as i envisaged. Non spill pour. plenty of lead length with lead storage in base.
Side sight windows to see volume on both sides. Light weight in use with a good grip hanldle.

Quiet and fast.

Best kettle I have owned Does what it says on the tin. Fast and quiet with a pleasing glow round the bottom when on. Nice finish to outside and easy to fill and switch on. I especially like the way the cord can be shorted by winding it round the bottom. Cannot fault it.Read full review

Great Kettle

I had been looking for a quieter kettle to replace our old very noisy one which had broken and after a lot of searching I chose this one. It was cheaper than other websites - good point number 1! When I plugged it in I wasn't really expecting it to be as quiet as it was and actually had to lean down to hear if it was heating up. Thank goodness for the blue light showing it is in fact working. I am really pleased with this kettle. I've only had it for a week so I hope it lasts well but for now it's great.Read full review

A very good product

This kettle is by far the best I have had since the days of using a hob to heat a whistling kettle.
It genuinely is really quiet and not noticeably longer in heating water than the quick-boil types.
It seems well built and not too heavy for my wife to handle, but heavy enough to think that this is made to last longer than my recent quick-boils have done.
Well done Russell Hobbs in manufactruing a kettle that doesn't deafen everyone in the kitchen and seems to be very efficient.
I have used one sachet of descaler after about six weeks as advised, not because I thought it was getting noisier, however, it does seem even quieter.
I reccomend this 100%Read full review
