De'LonghiKBOV3001.BG Water Kettle, Plastic, 3000 W, 1.7 liters, Creme

De'Longhi's Icona series is stylish, sleek, and very sophisticated and is available in many different colours to suit your taste.We chose the cream colour, as it was the most suited to our kitchen.The 360 degree swivel base compared is very useful and is so much better than other types where you can't move the kettle around without having to turn the whole unit.The kettle has a filter which majorly helps prevent any lime-scale getting into your cups of tea/coffee, it's also super easy to remove and clean, and would like to point out that lime-scale at the bottom of the kettle can build up quite quickly (depending on how hard your water is), so I use a descaler to make sure the kettle is well maintained, as it's expensive! On the cost front, yes this kettle is more expensive than most but it certainly is worth it, the Amazon price was at least 50% cheaper than our local John Lewis, where it is also for sale.On average it takes around 2 minutes to boil 1-litre of water which is great. Pouring the water, we have no issues with dribbling.To sum this product up, it's a good quality kettle that boils water like it should. Okay, so the price is high, but if you're willing to pay extra to have a well designed/stylish kettle, this one is waiting to be a great addition to your kitchen!

This is the third kettle of this type that I have bought.I like it because of the style and colour.Quite noisy

Looks the part, does the job and pours nicely but on a practical side : the lid is clunky to remove and put back on, and the indicator tube only shows when you have well over two mugs of water in, so you will probably be boiling more water than you need on occasion.

The kettle is very stylish and looks lovely in my kitchen.

I liked the look of this kettle - its shape and colour - on the website but was concerned about the lid. It looked a bit small and flimsy.I use filtered water all the time so I'm pouring from a jug, and the stream is too wide for quick filling through most kettle spouts, so I need a lid that is robust and easily removable. When I first unpacked the kettle I fell in love with it. It's very sturdy. The knob is not at all flimsy and the lid comes off quite easily. I knew instantly that the kettle would be a great success. It is quite noisy - a plus factor for me, because it means I can squeeze in another quick task whilst it's heating, and I know by the sound when it's time to nip back just before it boils, so I'm all ready to make the tea with rapidly boiling water. It boils very quickly even when full and looks beautiful on the counter. Another plus factor is that if you take the kettle off its stand for any reason, it activates the cut out lever, so if you happen to pour out the water before it has switched off, you can't accidentally put an empty kettle back on to boil.

We love this kettle, the boil time is the most impressive thing about it. It takes up to 39secs to get a full boil which gives a great performance

Quick boil, looks smart

Great
