Pros & Cons
Pros
Brita filters effectively filter the water, improving the taste of your beverage. Noticeably improved taste of tea, so much better. I make more tea than the canteen at catterick.
The kettle is light and has an easy to hold handle. Fills to just right amount for two cups, which is economical. Enough for 2/3 cups and wonderful flavour. No scale, no leaks, no nb.
This is the 1st time i have come across a russell hobbs branded one. It appears to be well made and looks stylish. Russell hobbs is a brand i have known for many years and consider them to produce electrical goods that are generally good value for mon... Read More
Degree swivel is good, no need to think. The power cable is a reasonable 65cm in length. The only negative for me is that the power cord is shorter than i would have liked.

Cons

This kettle has saved me so much money.
I was pleasantly surprised to find such an effective solution for preventing limescale, especially at this affordable price.
Shipping
Fast boil time and not too noisy.
Our kettle was delivered the next day (thank you, amazon) but i only managed to get around to actually using it a few days later.

The blue light would throw me off for a few days as i would initially think it was laptop blue screening when walking past but it was just the kettle

And the jug itself is very thick plastic which does get rather hot when the water is at temperature something to be mindful of if you have children and elderly in the house
