Customers Say
The kettle is stylish, efficient, and easy to use, with a pleasing blue light. However, it has received mixed feedback regarding noise levels and the quality of the lid and filter.

Glass kettle
It's ok bit louder than old one and I don't like the stupid lid or the way it pours the water comes out wide. It looks weird too.

Not the best kettle I've owned
Had better. Don't like the way it is permanently steamed up inside. Don't like that you have to remove the top to fill it unlike last one which opened with a button and remained attached to kettle. Not especially fast at boiling either. On the positive it is attractive and stylish with apparent good build quality.

Attractive and practial kettle
I'm really enjoying this glass kettle. I love this glass kettle which looks really cool on the counter top and lights up and boils super fast. I bought it because I needed a kettle with a lid that fully pulled off in order to fill it easier from the water filter jug without spillage, but I also like the fact that the visibility of the contents through the glass jug helps ensure I don't use more water than I need to and that I manage the London limescale build up better. However, you need to get used to the fact that the spout of the jug is more generous than regular kettles and the measuring scale markings are in cups rather than litres. The design would also benefit from a marker on the round lid to allign with the handle rather than just the spout when replacing the lid.

We don't like it we LOVE it - for the price it is absolutely fabulous. We have had other kettles costing over £100 that are not as stylish & like that it not too heavy when full with water. Would definitely recommend this kettle.

Kettle lights up blue when boiling water 💧 💙
Bought a month ago, love the blue 💙 lighting up the room when boiling water. So far all's going well and we are happy with our choice. Just hope it lasts longer than the last two kettles we bought.

Does what a kettle should
Glass body helps for minimum fillings. Blue light shows it's on. Just a little noisy. Lid awkward to remove for filling but can do it through the Spout.

Good
Bought this as a replacement and very happy with it. Looks good.

Looks good but it’s noisy

I have hard water. I wipe out the kettle frequently. Once a week, or when the limescale does not wipe off any more, I use lemon juice to descale. Fill kettle up to where limescale ends, add 12 shakes of lemon juice and swish around, leave to soak for a few hours, then boil and leave to cool. Wipe out and rinse well with cold water.
Hello Spalding S,

Follow the instructions on the package of descaler.''
