I really enjoyed using this kettle. I can be quite fussy when it comes to kitchen appliances, the look of the kettle is very smart, sleek with a touch of retro and would fit in well with many kitchens. It holds 1.5L which is around the average compared to other kettles on the market. It boils pretty quick depending on how much water you have in, but averages around 1 minute for just over a cup. Whilst the water is heating up and boiling it is very quiet compared to others I have had, so I was very impressed with that. The handle is very comfortable to use and feels very sturdy and easy to use. When pouring the boiling water there was not spitting, it was very smooth. It has a pull open lid at the top which found a little fiddly but not a deal breaker. I look forward to using this kettle more in the future.
