I love the design on this kettle, its so sleek and elegenat! The black makes it pefect for every kitchen whilst the silver touches add a little sparkle. My favourtie thing about this kettle is the fact it has 2 fill windows one on each side of the kettle, which being left handed with a right handed partner is amazing for me and its the first time i've personally seen this feature on a kettle. The quite boil really is what you expect. Its not silent but a lot quiter than most standard kettles. I love the cup depths inside the kettle letting you know where to fill for a few cups of tea without having to look at the side. Its a really lovely kettle!
