Russell Hobbs 21283-70 Legacy Black Kettle, innovative handle for easy - comfortable pouring and carrying, 1.7 L, 2,400 W (household goods)

Customer Review

The kettle features an original signature nor over much prettier than on the product page on which he looks slimmer than he is in reality.
It takes him a lot more space than for conventional water heater, the maximum diameter is approximately 28 cm and the height is 30 cm.
The base station in such kettles is normally quite massive and also heavier here quite large, according to the boiler (19 cm diameter) and is very light. The cable with 70 cm length is short, I find, but can be well on foot wrap.
The can bottom has 6 small protuberances (pimples) on which he stands. In the middle of the power connector looks a little primitive from is not as secure as other kettles, a brass-colored outer ring, in a smaller copper ring and in the center of a metal pin,
On the bottom you will find the note that it has been manufactured in China.
In the lower part of the digester below the handle is the on / off switch, easy to operate since it is far ahead and is great, but plastic in terms of stability I do not want to commit myself. There is no pilot light and it beeps or does not ring when the water boils and the stove automatically shuts down.
The handle in the form of a 6 is nicely done and has the inside scaling for capacity starting at 1 L / 1.5 L and 1.7 are displayed and that to which it is directly analogous to the interior connected by two small openings. No matter at what position you simply put the handle, it fits comfortably in your hand.
The stove itself is inside of metal, the floor seems chrome, outside the pot is covered with black plastic in piano finish, but it leaves to the touch no fingerprints. On either side is a small company logo in white and an embossed company name in black.
The spout is designed generously and it drips nothing.
The filling opening is relatively small with 8.5 cm diameter, closed by a pretty cover, chrome rim, black and an O-shaped plastic handle is easy to grip.
I have such a tap with shower head, so you get a bit difficult in the fill hole.
In the boiler there is a marker for the filling of a cup (235 ml), 2/3 of cups. Clearly visible in red. The positioning of this mark is a bit inconvenient, you have to go to the head but all over the opening to see them.
They will look good when you hold in your right hand, I think the kettle always on the left hand, and then it will be difficult with the insight. Of course you have the kettle then keeping them tidy horizontally otherwise the marker is wrong, of course.
Prima is of course that it ever has the opportunity to boil water for example a cup, in other cookers one must fundamentally much fill it enough for 3 cups.
The scale filter consists of a small sieve is placed in front of the spout inside the pot. To remove just have to press the protruding into the fill hole plastic strap down.
May use this part to actually everywhere in the pot where you can snap it under the top edge, therefore you have to look exactly it sits right in front of the spout.
In action the kettle is fairly quiet and fast, the housing is very hot and it stays hot longer.
Conclusion: A pretty nostalgic kettle works quickly, quietly but nevertheless some improvement would be desirable in my opinion.
