Good product
Quick to boil and nice and quiet.
Mini
Good for one cup or full kettle.
We bought this to replace another kettle which had a smoother on/off switch and lid button, but iridescent glass, which made it hard to see through. The controls on this are still OK though. The flip-up lid is much better than a lid you have to pull off as in some models .The power cord is only about 45cm long, which may be a bit short for some people. This kettle has clear glass and you can easily see how much water you've put in, even for just one cup. The measurement markings are on two sides and seem pretty accurate. Boils quickly although the cut-out time could be slightly shorter. I imagine this could vary slightly among different kettles of the same model. Seems fairly quiet. Selecting the star rating on this review form is confusing—I have selected Design 4, Boiling Speed 4, Capacity 5, so I hope it shows up correctly.

Great Kettle
Works perfectly, love the Blue lights when kettle is on. Great size too. Would recommend. Bit pricy for the average bear!

Meh
I bought this 6 weeks ago, it is easy to fill, bolis quickly, but notmeh so quietly and looks fabulous when first descaled, unfortunately because it is glass needs descaling at least once a week!

Form AND Function in a kettle
I bought this a few weeks ago and it’s great! Love the leaf to show where eco one cup level is. Love watching the blue lit bubbles as it boils. Glass body is great (might be heavy for some), and general design. Brilliant.

Hello Nikki,
The Russell Hobbs Illuminating Black Glass Kettle 21600-10 is not rapid boil.
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
Thanks for using Q and A

Hi there,
Our supplier has advised: The whole of the lid and spout is in fact plastic. It would come in contact with the steam from the Kettle as it's closed to keep the water from spilling out.
