We recently went on a Hamilton Island trip and found that we loved the kettle they used in their hotel rooms. We had been on the lookout for a kettle to replace the ‘smart kettle’ we had from Breville. It was hard to find one that was good looking, easy handle, quiet and fast. Using the kenwood kettle for the days we were there was enough to convince us that it was the one to get. It’s been a very reliable kettle and is worth the money. Have had no issues with it. I am a big tea drinker so I use this kettle very frequently during the day. The boiling part is no where near as noisy as my previous ‘expensive’ kettle and it doesn’t hav a big loud ring when it’s boiled. I definitely recommend this product.
