In the bottom there are exotic screws that you aufbekommt with any commercially available screwdriver.
The carriage handle makes anything but a robust impression and is believed to be the first (planned by the manufacturer) breaking point.
The safety net (Centartikel) on the grommet has snap hook made of brittle plastic cheap. How good that Russell Hobbs offering a substitute for just under 11, even though each of their kettle requires a different safety net. (Who finds irony, it must retain).
Are in the cover, what a miracle, even normal 2 Phillips screws installed, but the filigree cover tabs from cheap plastic does not particularly confidence-inspiring impression, which is why you have probably never solve these screws. Because when the lid holder breaks, you need change also no longer cover.
The handle made of plastic creaks and has crooked gaps.
In addition, the water level indicator is mounted below the handle, which is not very clear.
Whether and how well or poorly the Russell Hobbs kettle works, we have not even tried, as we continue to use our old rugged all-plastic kettle for just under 20 and are cured of kettles of the brand Russell Hobbs.
