Overly complicated
What kettle needs 4 buttons? Bought this for a clinic waiting room and have had to put instructions on it!

Brilliant, variable temperature kettle!
We love our new kettle! It's so quiet, heats the water really quickly, and the facility to heat water to below boiling point is excellent. It holds plenty of water despite looking quite compact. It doesn't 'click' when the water has reached temperature, but you can hear that it's stopped boiling it, and the kettle keeps the water at the correct temperature for a few minutes anyway.

Great variable-temperature option
We produce a range of white, green, oolong and black teas, so we need a kettle that accurately hits a variety of temperatures: 60, 70, 80, 90, 95, etc.. It's only a week in, but so far, we are very pleased. and a very reasonable price.

Not as easy to use as a normal kettle
Over complicated. It's not a one switch kettle and doesn't have a lid opener button.

The perfect kettle
I am delighted with this kettle which I bought a few months ago. It is one of the few on the market with temperature controls. We drink a variety of green teas which need different temperatures and this kettle is perfect for us. I couldn't find it in a shop (why?) so bought mail order and it came very quickly. It is as described, was on special offer, and it also looks good and has a small footprint. Perfect!

Quick boiling and easy to clean
I brought this more than 6 months ago. It's a good kettle, easy to clean, but some people in the household, can't work the computer side of turning the kettle on.

Hello Jonesc,
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for the Russell Hobbs Buckingham Variable Temperature Kettle - 21040: ''The kettle will take around 3 to 4 minutes to boil 1.7 liters of water. Boiling less water will shorten the boiling time.''
Thank you for using Q and A.
Hello Yok.
After contacting our suppliers they have advised for Russell Hobbs Buckingham Variable Temperature Kettle - 21040:
If the appliance is not used it will go into sleep mode and as such it will only hold enough power to have the power button functional. No lights in sleep mode and does not beep when it is done boiling.
As mentioned, as the product goes to sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity, it is designed to be safely left plugged in.
It is down to personal choice if you want to turn it off at the wall socket or not.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hi Tatina,
Having checked, you can choose a temperature range between 60°-100.
Thanks for using Q&A
