On looking for a new kettle I had 2 main criteria:
1. Mine - 3kw fast boiling kettle with concealed element.
2. Wifes - nice looking, must match the black granite surface and steel appliances.
This seemed to fit the bill, it looks good and heats the water quickly.
However, one basic design flaw, the designers seem to have forgotten that we might want to move the water into a cup. It seems impossible to pour the water without it spilling all over the work surface, one unhappy wife later and I'm looking for alternatives - kettle not wife!
