PLEASE NOTE: After owning this kettle for a year (I wrote the review below a year ago), the lid on this kettle just broke. Three screws just sheared through the plastic. Trying to mend it but it's unusable unless the lid is mended. Not particularly happy since the lid is subject to the most wear and should be made stronger than this!
**************************************************************
I wanted a new kettle after the last one kept tripping the electricity, and so looked for a nice-looking kettle with black in the colour-scheme.
This Russell Hobbs Stylis kettle seemed just right, and had all the things I was looking for:
* water level indicator
* plastic so it doesn't burn
* auto-cut off when picked up
* concealed element
LOOKS
See for yourself, but I find it quite nice to look at. The blue band lights up when boiling
OPERATION
Boils quickly, not very noisy, large pouring spout. THe kettle loses one star because it waits too long to switch off after boiling. I think it should switch off immediately the water bubbles, but this one waits about 5 seconds. This is enough to get a huge cloud of steam going up into your ceiling and the large pouring spout doesn't help here! So those with low/peeling ceilings beware.
You can see how much water is in the kettle only when more than a mug-full is in there (i.e. the water level just shows in the transparent band when you have this much in the kettle). Any less and you can't see it.
TASTE
It took quite a long time to rid the nasty plastic taste from the water, and in fact it only disappeared when I added bicarbonate of soda and boiled this twice (always rinse out at least twice after doing this). But now it's fine.
Other things to add are that the swicks clicks off with an agreeable 'thunk' and that the filter seems quite strong (I've had ones which break at the first rinse).
All in all a good choice.

I bought this kettle 13 months ago.
The kettle was on a half price offer and I thought I had a bargain - it looked nice, boiled quickly and not too noisy either.
Yes, the water did taste really bad for a couple of weeks and even now, if I don't use the water straight away I can still taste a slight plastic/chemical hint.
After using for about 8 months the lid started to get a bit stiff and I had to hit it in order to get it shut. I could live with that until about a week ago when
it also became really difficult to open and finally, this morning it broke off completely!
I am more disappointed to have to be adding this to landfill than spend money on another kettle. I have lost faith in the brand; I won't necessarily be buying
Russell Hobbs again.

I originally bought this kettle and it developed a problem with the lid mechanism within the warranty period. Basically the lid would not open. Amazon gave excellent customer service and replaced the product. Within 8 months of using this new kettle it has developed exactly the same problem! I contacted Amazon and they advised me to contact Russell Hobbs Customer Services as it has been over a year since I purchased the first one. Russell Hobbs has replied stating that they have never had any complaints about this product - interesting as I have read many reviews on Amazon about this product all saying that they have had lid problems. I can't be bothered to spend any more time on this and will just buy a new kettle but it certainly will not be a Russell Hobbs one! In fact I will stay away from ever buying anything else from Russell Hobbs!

Lid Awful, Taste Issues, Generally Poor
1. In the first 9 months drinks often had a plastic or metalic taste. Bizarely randomly. This was helped by using 100% fresh water, but nevertheless a constant hassle. Read more

Exactly as much kettle as you'll ever need
As good or better looking than kettles which, for no good reason that I can determine, cost twice the price or more.
