This kettle is very beautiful, it’s bright which makes it stands out in my kitchen, Love the ridges on the outside of the kettle makes it look very posh, the silver design goes with the yellow really nice. Once boiled this kettle doesn’t get too hot so no risk of burns if you have little ones who like to touch everything. It boils the water very hot and makes a perfect cuppa, when pouring the water from kettle into cup there’s no spillage at all does a perfect pour. the noise level isnt too loud when boiling and takes reasonably quick to boil (around 2 minutes even quicker if you fill it with less water). This kettle is strong and durable quality, easy to clean and doesn’t take up much room on your counter top. I really like the fact on the base of the kettle you can wind the lead in and wrap it around the base where it’s unseen underneath and only have out as much lead as you need, so there’s no extra overhanging powerleads.
