Colour Plus 1.7L Stainless Steel Kettle - RUSSELL HOBBS

Had this kettle since 2018 and use it multiple times everyday. It's only this week (may 2025) that it doesn't reach boiling point anymore. Think the thermostat is gone but it's lasted 7 years with good care so fair enough! Kettle sits securely on base, is easy to hold, and feels durable. Will be getting another!

Nice design. Pours well. Much noisier than previous Russell Hobbs kettle.

Horrible bitter taste after not boiling fresh water every time, We use a Brita filter jug for water and then place it into the kettle for boiling as scaley water area but still tastes weird. never had this problem before just recently. my last kettle lasted 10+ years of a different brand.

Attractive design, quick to boil and easy to hold. The only design criticism I have is the water level indicator is difficult to see as it is tucked between kettle and handle. It is far easier and quicker to open the lid and look at the water level.

Lovely kettle, really happy with the product good quality also.

Decided on a whim to change my previous Russell Hobbs kettle, no issues with it but wanted a change and there were offers on the website! I like this kettle, boils quite quickly, and not too noisy. Husband says he finds the lid a bit awkward to release for filling.

Good kettle. It does all the things that it said it would and it is the second Hobbs kettle that we have bought. [The first developed a slight intermittent leak after a few years] The only negative is the Hobbs logo on the side of the kettle which has smudged. The same happened with the first Hobbs kettle. If you wipe it with a damp cloth it just makes it worse. Why does this happen? This seems to be quite a basic design fault. It spoils the look of an excellent value for money product. .

I bought one of these kettles about 7 years ago. It had a lot of use and was sturdy and reliable, so when I needed to replace it, I was really pleased to find out Russell Hobbs still make it!
