Russell Hobbs 25113 Eclipse Polished Stainless Steel and Copper Sunset Ombre Electric Kettle, 3000 W, 1.7 Litre

Product Information

Given Brits drink 100 million cups of tea daily (according to the UK Tea and Infusions Association), the look, feel and performance of your kettle is more important than you might first assume. It has an easy temperature selector that guides you in picking the right temperature for coffees, black teas and herbal teas, and it has a keep warm function that maintains the temperature of the water for 30 minutes, saving time and energy by reducing the need to re-boil the kettle. Quiet Boil Technology makes it easier for you to unwind, whether that is a hectic morning or after a long day the 75% quieter. There’s little in the way of fancy extras, but that’s what I like about it: it does everything a kettle needs to do, and does it well. Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) must never be placed in your waste disposal or recycle bins.

We have a wide variety of options to choose from to suit any requirement whether it be functionality, innovation, design or all three. It features a push-down pour design so that the water is only poured from the kettle when this switch is pushed down. The light, matte coloured plastic and stainless steel construction would look lovely in the kitchen of even the most scrupulous interiors enthusiast.It performed outstandingly well in my time test, boiling one cup’s worth of water in 40 seconds and four cups in two minutes and 16 seconds. Once the target temperature is selected, the actual temperature is shown on the base as it heats up. But most of all, we love tha t it is BFA free, and comes with boil-dry protection and auto shut-off features.

In some regions where hard water is common, limestone, scale, and buildup cause water from the tap to look cloudy.

The 3000W power that improves performance, it has a large capacity and we loved that it can boil 1 cup in 45 seconds – which saves up to 60% of energy. Many now boast fancy features such as temperature variability for different hot drinks or even (largely pointless) smart technology that can be controlled from your phone.
