About this product
Boil water fast and watch it bubble in style. The Russell Hobbs Classic Glass Kettle combines eye-catching design with speed, heating 1.7 litres with a powerful 3000W element that takes you from cold tap to rolling boil in moments. The glass body with black plastic and stainless steel trim looks striking on any worktop, while blue internal illumination lights up as it boils. The removable, washable limescale filter keeps drinks tasting clean, and boil-dry protection switches off if you forget to fill it. The 360-degree base works for left or right-handed use, with neat cord storage underneath.
It's light enough to handle easily at 1.2kg empty yet holds enough for multiple cups. The pull-off lid makes refilling quick, and the 0.61m cable gives you flexibility for placement. Register online and you'll get a full 3-year guarantee for total peace of mind.

It’s great to see the boiling water
I’m very pleased with this product. It’s easy to clean and you can see the boiling water so you can stop it if you don’t want it to boil too much.

Minimal Plastic Content
Wanted the least possible plastic. This fit the brief at a good price. Nice and bright. The pour could be better though. Spills a little.

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,
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for the Russell Hobbs Black Classic Glass Kettle 26080: ''To remove the scale, descale the appliance at least monthly in a soft water area or even more often in a hard water area or any time when you can see scale build up inside of the kettle with a proprietary descaler.
Follow the instructions on the package of descaler.''
Thank you for using Q & A.
Hello Jackie,
