This arrived in a branded lift top box covered in pictures and details on the kettle; everything is being well packed with bespoke moulded card each end holding the kettle and base tight and in place, the kettle was wrapped and protected in plastic.

First impressions: the jug is very light and a nice looking design, it has a good positive clicking on off switch, clear quantity markings running up the side along with branding on the base, the base has a cable wind feature under it so you can shorten the cable to the desired length, a simple feature but a useful one adopted by a lot of brands in recent years. The lid is a pull to remove type with a line up slot for pouring, this works with four metal clips, I thought this quite stiff to remove but after a little use it is now quite easy, I am not over keen on this design and think a release button fixed lid is better.

After unpacking everything I gave the kettle a try out. Aseptically this kettle looks very nice and the blue LED’s certainly enhance that look with the clear glass illuminating the boiling water, I wanted to time a maximum quantity boil to test it out and it managed to boil 1.7 litres in 3 minutes and 33 seconds which I thought a decent speed.

Overall a very nice looking and efficient kettle, the blue LED’s certainly give it a striking look when in use, it has had a lot of use since it arrived without any issues coming to light and does a good job, I am not over keen on the lid system although it does make it easy to fill.
