A silent kettle? Really? Well yes, this kettle Russell Hobbs makes no noise (I actually thought she was not working when I switched on). Besides the fact that it is efficient and of a high capacity, it really has the look of a shell with its airs of 14-18. Big "plus", it does not drip and does not splash. As for the price? Less than 50 euros, I think it is really cheap considering the quality of the object. Superb!
