This is a terrible kettle 1. the water doesn't stay hot for long at all so if you don't use it immediately you have to reboil it, 2. the water level is in a stupid spot & 3. it takes some fiddling to put it back on the stand thing

Had the kettle for a few years and the paint started chipping within a few months. The paint also faded in a drip mark pattern, almost as if from hot water dripping down the sides. I thought it was just mine, but my sister has the same kettle, purchased around the same time, but from different stores and she has the same marks.
The kettle will leak every now and then, but particularly when I'm descaling it. I thought the leaking was from overfilling but when I boiled with a descaling solution (per instructions), the liquid had leaked everywhere, and the kettle was empty

We received this red kettle as a gift and it in less than three months old it leaks from the bottom of the gauge - we have no receipt so cant return it but it is a design fault which must be common in this kettle - it will have to be thrown away when we can afford to buy another kettle - very disappointed

I loved this kettle, I especially liked the whistle function but the whistle doesn't work anymore and the kettle leaks which I would think is rather dangerous. Only 18 months old too! This time I will go with another brand, which is a shame as I have the matching toaster as well.

We've had to replace this kettle twice (under warranty) as it just starts leaking after a while. I like it while it works however. And the red colour is lovely. I'm going to get a kettle with a temperature setting next time, to save power and time when making green tea.

I only heard the great whistle twice BOOOOOOOOO I can only hope I've touched a button or something. Any ideas on how I can fix it? Or possibly get a new one as I brought it online. I hope this is a good brand or next time I'm going for a cheap model

Have had the kettle for about six months and today wated started leaking from the level indicator. Rather dangerous when dealing with electricity. Rather poor construction from an, until now, respected brand, Now in the bin and I will not buy another of their products, if this is an example of their manufacturing quality.

Leaks at bottom
Nearly caused a fire
6 months old before leaks started
Purchased for over $100 it should last more then that.. considering a $20 probably would do better
Will not recommend to buy unless looking for a kettle to give you problems constantly i wish i read reviews before i bought one

Exceptional looking kettle, works great. Very stylish addition to my kitchen. The kids love the whistle which sounds like a World War Two bomb dropping on London.
Unfortunately the bright red metallic colour appears to fade after extended use, it could just be where the kettle is placed(near the stovetop)
As my bright red metallic toaster has not faded at all. But the water still boils and the bombs keep dropping. Lol

Love the look of these kettles but very dispointed when after a year the paint peeled off! It was also incredibly noisy.
I would buy morphy Richards again. When I called to advise of the paint peel customer services was not helpful and told me they could give me another one at a discounted rate but I would need to pay postage, worked out the same as buying brand new!

I really like the look of my MR kettle, but it spatters if you pour too soon after boiling, and the really irritating thing is that the water level doesn't show up while you're filling it. It only shows after setting it back on the bench. That's a real design fault, in my mind, since you have to guess whether you've put enough water in it while it's filling. I've never bought such an expensive kettle before. My cheaper kettles weren't as stylish, but they didn't spatter, and their water levels showed while filling.

I got the red colour accents kettle and toasted set a month ago. The colour is already scratched on the kettle! I'm v careful with it as the last one I had had similar problems! Should have known better. Waste of money!

Pity as it's a nice set! Wish I bought something else.

Was initially quite excited when we first bought the kettle but later on realised that this was probably one of the worst kettles I've every owned in my life. Terrible pull up design for refilling water and not to mention that when you try to refill it after you have used it if you need more water, you burn yourself every time due to its poor design. Steer clear

Funny when I read all the reviews about paint peeling and leakage. Bought the toaster and kettle combo for my parents only to receive painting and leakage problems. Raised my concerns 18months into usage. No help and needed all sorts of documents. Don't have time, don't want anything from Morphy Richards ever.

Must say Dimplex are more than happy to keep replacing our kettle however after this one is still not any better than the original one, it is pointless to accept their offer. As we are country dwellers it is a major operation in sending and then waiting for their investigation of the complaint, before receiving the new product. Takes two to three weeks. Great looking kettle but do suggest looking at other options when buying a kettle.

I have had my kettle just over two years however on the first year the paint started chipping off. In addition after kettle has boiled it spurts boiling water when you start to pour, quite dangerous. Would not recommend product as it is not value for money. Very disappointed especially as bought other items to match.
