The KBM3011-1 Metropolis Stainless Steel Kettle comes with an exclusive matt gun metal finish that will not show fingerprints, ensuring your kettle maintains its iconic design and finish. It has a 1.7 Litre capacity and a convenient, easily visible water level indicator, as well as a 360° rotating base for both left- and right-handed use.
The Metropolis KBM3011 is a 3 kW cordless kettle with a 1.7 Litre capacity as well as a removable, washable limescale filter to ensure your hot drinks always taste perfect. It has non-slip feet for added safety and a concealed element for fast boiling and easy cleaning, all of which ensures the De'Longhi KBM3011 is as easy and safe to use as it is attractive in your kitchen workspace.

The only good thing about this kettle is it's lovely retro look. Everything else about it is awful in my opinion. I have to agree with other people that there is a definate odd taste to water from this kettle. The gun metal grey finish chips off very easily and soon makes the kettle look very tatty. The 'metal' lid, handle and switch are just shiny plastic and look very tacky. The kettle is very heavy and the lid is very hard to remove and replace. The tiny handle on the lid is very flimsy and is just connected with one tiny screw which manages to work it's way loose at least once a week. If you buy this kettle keep a screwdriver handy as you will need to keep tightening the handle. I also bought the matching toaster and that's been fine, but once again has that very tacky shiny 'metal' look to it.

This kettle does look great but is let down by a number of practical issues with the design. I haven't had any issue about the taste of water like some reviewers have reported and it does boil pretty quickly. However there are a number of issues that mean it is not a very good kettle - the lid is metal and therefore gets very hot, it is also not very easy to get in and out with just a little loop handle to grip. The kettle is quite heavy too. The indicator for how full the kettle also mists up a bit and is positioned behind the handle so not easy to check when you're holding it. I also have the 2 slice toaster but am very pleased with that but I would recommend avoiding this kettle unless De Longhi improves it considerably.

I have just bought the kettle from you and have been using it for a few days. I don't usually bother writing these reviews, but I am SO disappointed with it that I would like to let other people know my thoughts. I wish I'd read the other reviews before buying!
It is NOISY!
The handle is too smooth, therefore slippery.
The fill gauge is almost impossible to see.
The on switch is horrid plastic.
It is heavy even when nearly empty.
The lid is not easy to lift off for filling.
The only positive is that it looks good.
Why bother, I'd rather have an ugly one....

Looks good but not practical
Very Poor quality and not user friendly. Lid has already broken. Avoid purchasing if you are a regular kettle boiler.

This kettle is absolute rubbish. The lid was extremely hot and was so tight it was impossible to remove and it can't be filled by the spout. Read more
