Only issue that I found relevant to me was the pouring issue. Hmmm. A kettle this expensive should not have issues with pouring. Thank you for the demo.
Thanks so much for saving me the headache and expense of buying this kettle. I had - mistakenly - thought it would be the same standard as the Dualit toaster.
Tip. Buy a Tesco special for a tenner. If it fails you almost certainly will be able to repair it yourself or just buy another one.. With the Dualit you will have to return it to their service department.. The combined switch/element unit will almost certainly need replacing at a cost of £54 ( as of January 2024) and you will be without a kettle for about 3 weeks.
Normally would agree but I only had one hand spare for this demo due to phone in the other. This also happens on other days when I make tea and am on the phone etc.
+Natasha J Its hot. Very hot. This kettle does not have thermal walls. Previous to this I had a Magimix thermal-walled kettle and you could lift it up in your hands whilst it was on the boil which was a great peace of mind with small children. It was a great kettle apart from the lids kept breaking and after the fourth one in as many years I gave up on it and bought this one. Then I got rid of it straight away on account of the poor pouring ability. It just fills the work surface with boiling water. The spout is useless and without features like thermal walls it just isn't worth the high price tag. Fast boil but not as quiet as the manufacturer claims (probably on account of the lack of thermal walls).
We had one of these for about 2 years . Totally useless! Very bad handle design, you burn your hand with steam as you pour out the water , and it’s very difficult to hold on to. Ours lasted 2 years and then burned itself out . AVOID
