Really good kettle
This kettle looks good and even better when switched on - blue illumination - very nice. It's also fast to boil -- so far very pleased

Quick to boil
Happy with this kettle. It is very quick to boil and love that you can easily see how much water is in the kettle at a glance and actually see it boiling. You can boil just one drinks worth of water if you wish so can save quite a bit on electricity with his feature. The Illumination also adds to the aesthetics of the kettle. Only slight downfall is it is quite noisy but I would expect this with such a powerful heating element. Comes with 2 year extended warranty if you register you product with Russell Hobbs so extra peace of mind.

Its quite Good
Looks quite nice.Not as blue illuminated as the blue plastic kettles.Like the cup level filler e.g. one cup saving water,energy etc.However had kettle in use just over one week and feel that the litre readings on the outside of kettle will fade off.Time will tell?I think the kettle boils a bit slow and is definitely noisy. Also the lid is quite static.Thought kettle would be quite heavy but is ok.Otherwise a good all around kettle so far.

Looks great
Lovely looking kettle -large capacity but also can boil as little as one cup. Love the blue light.

Great kettle.
The kettle is still a Which best buy, it may be noisy, but is easy to use and my previous one lasted ten years plus. It’s much better to rock up to the shop than wait from an online store. I don’t need to worry about limescale as we have soft water.

Love it
Love this light up kettle - downside is London limescale build up being visible but it’s worth it for the lovely light on dark mornings.

Good Value For Money
The kettle is simply a good value for money. The illuminating blue boiling-point display is quite aesthetic.

Great kettle
I've been using this for two weeks and I'm very pleased. It's robust, boils quickly and lights up beautifully.

Great features
This is the second of these kettles. I like it enough to buy another. They are more expensive than metal or plastic kettles but the benefit is being able much more easily to see what is in the kettle whether you are right or left handed than a kettle with just a narrow window. The kettle’s capacity and speed of boiling is the same as other kettles. The glass enables you easily to see when descaling is necessary. The recommended frequency is one a month. The handle is easy to hold and feels safe while the lid is opened by pressing a button on the top of the handle, which is a good place for practical daily use

A genuine Best Buy
This is both great to look at and at the same time a real money saver, Why heat more water than you really need to? Why waste both time and electricity?

Thank you for using Q and A.
Hi Som.
Limescale is built up from the water provided, however the Russell Hobbs Illuminated Matte Black Kettle 27550, does have a limescale filter so that this is not transferred to your drinks.
Limescale may build up and need to be removed in most kettles.
Hope this helps
