I bought the complete set (coffee maker, toaster, kettle) about 3 years ago, because the design simply "mine" was. In Set the Eye-catch effect was twice as high, and at the sight of my eyes were heart-shaped. Unfortunately, only for a short time because the other devices in this series have a miserable quality and quickly blessed the temporal. Products of Russell Hobbs come to me voluntarily no longer in the house. See my reviews on coffee maker and toaster. Of the 3 parts I find only the kettle - with restrictions - good. That 3000 W. extremely high drive power consumption, each is quite clear. The pot is necessarily other than the handle, as with other cookers also very hot. To pour the hot water reaches a hand because the (hot) lid is locked and will not accidentally arbitrarily open, so you do not need him in addition hold. When pouring drips and spills anything that makes me happy. Will you then fill the kettle immediately a second time, burns can be avoided when the cover is really operated on grid handle. The water level indicator is mounted behind the handle and not so easy to see, but I do not so tragic. The water level indicator elsewhere (beside or below the spout) would surely go to the detriment of optics - a matter of taste. I have in any case already accustomed with the kettle-predecessors to use a measuring cup to fill. Filled to the pot directly from the tap, can always something pass ... and then set the unit to the power socket? I do not know ... The short cable does not bother me, because I have the stove anyway placed directly into the outlet. A long cable would only interfere there. Would be helpful for a purchase decision when information would be added to the cable length in the product description of the dealer. The plastic lever on / off is nice to use wide and without effort. So I do not see any risk of breakage under proper operation. The volume is enormous, but yes after a few minutes ago. So I can live so well. All in all I am satisfied with this stove because it makes its service even after 3 years; the appearance is unbeatable for me.
