Schick and good 1

What strikes 18946-70 kettle immediately when Russell Hobbs is the design that personally reminds me of a teapot and thus has something classic in itself. Very nice here is the combination of slightly shiny black lacquer and metal elements (spout). Only the on / off switch in transparent plastic fits visually not quite as good now. Overall, the kettle is really very pretty and a great addition to our kitchen equipment remaining in black.

Who still has an old kettle at home without cooking stop automatic is this (nowadays almost always luckily Standard) learn to love immediately. What struck me most positively, but is very quiet for a kettle operation. In my previous device already in the "warm-up" extremely loud, which is not the case with the Russell Hobbs. Of course, he also manifests itself, but it is in tolerable extent.

The full credit can I still awarded for two reasons: firstly, because I think he's a little slow. Especially when a full can of needs Russel Hobbs felt an eternity. Secondly, I find the price a bit too steep. There are many good kettle in the 20-35 range and even though my style very well like it here, I find a current price of ~ 45 too high for a device that does not really stands out in the function (eg no temperature selection possible ).
