Having had a number of kettles fail in a miserably short time over the past few years I hankered after a good old fashioned kettle with a visible element! This is it. It does exactly what it says on the tin. I cannot confirm on longevity as yet but my hopes are high. Would recommend to anyone. Not sure why kettles had to be innovated in the first place.

My venerable and excellent Russell Hobbs K2 kettle hadn't failed, but steadily it was dawning on me that if and when it did I'd be looking with some urgency for a replacement, and I didn't at all like what I saw, read or heard of kettles for the current consumer market. Even shiny metal outsides often hide plastic bodies, needless water gauges provide a weak point which, as countless Amazon reviewers have noted, often results in cracks and/or leaks within a few months or a year or two, and even while working perfectly the amount of noise made by such lightweight kettles when approaching the boil is a major irritant to anyone either trying to listen to the radio or just valuing a quiet kitchen. I really didn't want to be heading to the nearest electrical goods shop one day looking to buy the least unpromising of whatever range of kettles they might be offering, so the search began for a worthy replacement for the old K2, which could then go into well-earned retirement as a perpetual standby.
It's an odd reflection on contemporary values that a kettle like this gets marketed as "commercial". Like the original models of Dualit toaster, it's simply far better and more reliable than the competition, and hence deserves to make its way as the Dualit toaster has into many a well equipped domestic kitchen. Commercial users wouldn't stand for a kettle that leaked after being used a few hundred or a few thousand times, and there's no good reason why anyone else should either. If the K2 - I think mine is around 40 years old - had remained in production and evolved, I fancy it would greatly resemble this Burco. There's a visible element. Just cover it, or fill the kettle if the full two litres of hot water are needed. A good clear red light shows when the kettle is heating, and cutout happens at just the right early stage of boiling. The lid's a tight fit but not unduly so, pouring is fast and easily controlled. If I have a single reservation about the likely longevity of this design it concerns the IEC type mains connector used, and I fully expect current safety regulations demand one of these in place of the hefty traditional two-pin connector with earthed shield. An IEC connector will always tend to overheat when carrying the current a kettle needs. Still, it would be too much to expect Burco to market a superior but illegal product, and as far as I can see they've made as good a kettle as they were allowed to make. Five stars unreservedly awarded.
