This is the second Smeg kettle we have had and it’s used probably more than the average household. It looks great and the lime scale build up is minimal. We purchased this new one but we were able to mend the old one, so the new one is still in its box. Read more

This kettle is smaller than the old one I replaced. However, luckily there are only two of us, so it is sufficient for us. I think these items are very expensive, but I have a Smeg fridge/freezer and like the kettle and toaster to match, so I have to put up with the expense. That's the drawback. The upside is that this is very stylish, matches my fridge and toaster and is remarked upon by visitors. Very sturdy too and my previous kettle lasted several years. You pays your money, you takes your choice really! Read more

Due to the way Amazon groups reviews for the same product that maybe shipped from different sellers I want to be clear that I purchased from Dawsons Department Store in the UK via Amazon.co.uk. This is the specific link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0752VHH7Z/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1. The reason I mention this is that some of the reviewers who gave negative feedback may well have received fake or reconditioned products, because their issues don't seem to make sense if you buy an original NEW SMEG kettle. My new red SMEG kettle arrived in good time. The letters are raised letters. The brand 'SMEG' emblazoned on the kettle are solid and look as if they will not fall off (not printed letters like some of the reviewers have described based on their purchase). Also the lid being plastic makes sense, otherwise you could burn yourself, so I'm happy it's made of good quality solid plastic. Further, the list has a rubber seal preventing steam and/or water leaking out when you poor water out of the spout. The main kettle body is metal and painted and does get hot, so be aware of this point. Having said that, the head is no different to other kettles out there on the market. I read a couple of reviewers have blistering paint, but I've not seen this porblem (yet). Time will tell I guess. Overall, I really like this kettle. Yes it's expensive, and yes some parts are plastic, but it's all solid and well made based on first impressions. I purchased this product ignoring all the negative reviews in the knowledge that had they been right, then I could always return the product for a refund. So far I'm not expecting to be one of those disappointed customers. Your mileage may vary. Read more
