I like stylish kettles, and it is one of my few indugences, especailly as the kitchen is one of my favourite rooms. I was wanting to give my kitchen a nice warm feel so thought red would be perfect. At first I looked at this morphy richards sister kettle, the red traditional pyramid version, however I am now so glad I went for this one.
Firstly it get full marks for style- the metalic red finish gives it a glowing dome look that is very striking- plus eay to clean. The longer shape also ads to its design, plus the glass center with a blue hue when it boils.
It has a large good size lid for filling up and holds a generous amount of water- it says up to 8 cups but can esily take another 2. Boiling is very fast, and not to noisy and done effortless with one flick of a switch. Another plus point is the weight- its very light feeling so great if you have weak wrists or arthritis. It is a cordless kettle, which means altohugh the kettle has no cord the plinth is sits on does. The cable is quite short for this- so you need a plug point very near.
The handle is black plastic, which is a bit of a let down, but I still feel it looks good- everyone who has seen it has commented how smart it is.
Overall Im really pleased with it , it does all the things I want to - makes large kettles of water, boils fast, looks terrific and I have not seen anyone else with the same kettle ( unlike its sister pyramid one ) , so would definately recommend .
