Costumer Reviews
Carnelian Red, eh. Whatever shade that's supposed to be, it's a colour the looks the part. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, but, unlike your run-of-the-mill kettles, the on switch has a pleasing red light that shows it's on, and it's also a good size, so you won't walk off without remembering to turn it on (and how many of us have done that?) If that isn't enough, inside is another light that illuminates the window so you can watch the water boiling in a slight blue hue.
Capacity is 1.7 litres, which is enough for about eight cups but even then, it's far from full. (It's a safety feature to stop the water boiling up through the spout.) That spout has a removable filter for cleaning, something I've never seen before in an appliance like this. Yes, it spins full circle on its base for either hand use, which is nothing unusual, but is quite heavy when used at its maximum fill. The stainless steel handle is good and does seem to give the whole thing a better balance. The lid has a couple of lugs to ensure it fits snug, though it also means it needs more energy to remove.
However, it is just a kettle and boils water no faster or slower than any other and it is expensive. It's available in other colours too (well, white and blue).
Length:: 2:08 Mins
The video review says it all pretty much.
I love the colour, its a gorgeous red colour and i like the fact that you can spin it 360 degrees on the base.
I don't quite understand why they made the kettle so that the max fill level is only halfway up , seems like a crazy amount of wasted volume in my opinion.
Also im not entirely sure of the fast boil claim because 3.42 minutes seems rather a long time to wait for a kettle to boil, but i only have one other to compare it too so you can measure it against your existing ones for comparison.
It does look very nice in the kitchen though, but im not sure i would of paid this much for it if i was in the market for a new one.
They do however have a fantastic toaster to compliment this which i will list here for you so if you wanted the matching set then you could get the coordinating pieces.
