This kettle is a refreshing upgrade from my previous kettle. The plastic body is far more preferable as I have a rather cluttered kitten surface so I’m countlessly brushing my arm by the kettle and not getting burnt anymore! The gauge inside indicating how much water is required for cups is fantastic. I have no doubt I’m saving money on my electricity bill. It mentions it can boil water in under a minute and that’s absolutely true. The pour spout is great, I never have any spills now. I’d have liked a slightly longer flex, I’m unable to put it where I want  becuase of this but it’s not a big deal. The black and gold design is a bold design voice but luckily it goes with the style of my kitchen. If I were to see it available in different colours, and be likely to purchase this kettle.
