Pros & Cons
Pros
This latest one is not as good (hence 4 stars) as it does dribble a little. Nice sleek modern design. Not many are styled like this nowadays.
Excellent all rounder with high wattage for quick boil. The lid is very well made and it boils quickly. Nice blue light when you boil water, boils quickly, easy to fill and dispense.
Water pours well from the nicely shaped spout. Fills from the spout and has a nicely positioned on off switch.
Cons
The plastic is patchy and very poor quality. The sides are not very smooth either, it looks as though it has been dropped or something is poking through from underneath. Other reviewers have experienced the same problem.
This kettle leaks all the time. It has no button on the handle for popping the lid. The lid is not very tight fitting and water pours through the gap. The finish of the kettle isnt too nice.
