As this kettle was one of Which?'s best buys, I bought it to replace my rapidly breaking-up old one. As a basic kettle it works well: it boils quickly so doing what a kettle is supposed to! However there are a number of points that stop this being a really good buy:
1: being metal the outside of this kettle gets very hot (unlike my former plastic one). If you want a metal body then there is not much that can be done about it (without, I guess, paying a lot more for additonal skins).
2: the light indicating that the kettle is on is not very noticable (being small and dim); however as this is a very noisy kettle it is easy to tell when it is on! (so one drawback, that of noise, counters the lack of a really good visual "on" indicator).
3: To fill the kettle the lid needs to be pulled off and this can be a little awkward as the handle is without any ridges. I particularly notice this if I have slightly damp hands (filling via the spout causes a degree of splash-back).
4: The most annoying aspect however is that there is no external indication of how full the kettle is.
All in all, though, if you want a cheap(ish) basic kettle this will serve - just bear in mind the contras when looking at alternatives.

Good kettle, pours easily with no dripping, boils quickly, small base area so it does not utilise a lot of worktop space. would recommend as it does not disapoint in any way, no wonder it got a WHICH recommendation.

I was somewhat apprehensive about buying a Jug kettle as my mother and daughter both had them and I did not like them , but I took the plunge.
It is a noisy kettle and you cannot see the light BUT because its noisy you dont need too. It boils very quickly and is easy to fill, use and pour and balanced( I have arthritis and lifting and pouring can be difficult). I have not had it long so do not know its lasting capability but it replaced a Russell Hobbs Round kettle of 15 year.
