Its early days, my kettle is less than a week old. It looks lovely but I'm wondering whether the stand by mode is pretty enough to be worth a possible increase in electricity bill. The colours are certainly mesmerising. My main concern is that the water tastes absolutely horrible when its boiled more than once. This has never happened when I've had a new kettle before, and I've had many, this being a very hard water area.
UPDATE - SIX MONTHS ON, NO REGRETS! THE KETTLE IS WORKING PERFECTLY AND IS MUCH ADMIRED. BILLS ARE THE SAME AND THE WATER TASTE HAS SETTLED DOWN.
FURTHER UPDATE 18 MONTHS ON: DITTO, STILL IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER AND MUCH ADMIRED
TWO YEARS ON: I'd actually like to update this to 5 stars but the system won't let me. All I can do is quote "only have things about you which you believe are beautiful and/or know are useful" and this kettle fulfils both criteria.
UPDATE FOUR YEARS ON: STILL AS NEW
