Russell Hobbs RH13552 Ellora 1-2/3-Liter Stainless-Steel Electric Kettle Save 30% Off

This is a great kettle. I''ve used plastic electric kettles for years but with concern about plastics in the food chain, I purchased this kettle. The design makes the kettle very stable on the counter. Wiping the kettle down with a microfiber cloth will keep the brushed stainless finish looking fine. Instructions say not to use vinegar to remove scale that builds up in the kettle. I do it anyway as I have done in all kettles I''ve owned. Boil 1 part vinegar and 5 parts water in the kettle, let it rest for awhile, pour it off and boil a pot of plain water to get rid of vinegar and scale residue and kettle will run quietly and efficiently. Enjoy!

Severe disappointment. This is the second of this model in less than 12 months on which the on/off switch has gone faulty. It''s not true ''Russell Hobbs'' like the old British days -that name was sold off. If you boil water only two or three times a day, this might serve. I use it an average of once every hour to 90 minutes, and the switch is not up to the job.

It''s a relatively quiet, fast boiler, and is a handsome brushed steel finish. Be aware that the lid is a bit too snug, so you may need to adjust the tangs that hold the thing on (use needlenose pliers). It''s attractive enough and stable on the base. To keep the inside clean, empty out the unit and stand it upside down with the lid off, overnight.

The fact that it''s made in China is not itself a negative. It seems that most electric kettles, cordless or otherwise, do not live up to the reputation of their predecessors.

I had one for 15 years by this manufacturer. That one was durable and worked

every time. It still works but is suffering from wear. The new one is better engineered: no port in the lid to emit burning hot vapor; the handle is positioned out of way of the steam.

I wanted a kettle that would have no plastic parts touching the water. This one did. I returned it.

After reading the reviews of many other electric kettles I decided on this unit being that it was constructed of stainless steel and had minimal plastic. In just under a year, the kettle has developed an electrical fault making it useless the final straw for this poor quality product. Material is stated as stainless steel but you have to remember that there a various qualities of stainless and this kettle clearly falls short of using anything of quality: my kettle has developed rust on the inside! I could understand it if I was doing something crazy like boiling sea water but this is regular household water I''m using. If the supposed ''stainless steel'' is corroded by household water it makes me wonder what type of blend of metal they really used and if any chemicals have been leaching into the water for the last year.

I remember Russell Hobbs as being a quality brand (the sort where a kettle by them would last 20 years) but reading some other reviews it seems that the name was sold off and people like myself are ending up purchasing something that, in my opinion, is of extremely poor and dubious quality.
