Dualit Design Series Kettle - 50.7 fl.oz - Stainless Steel Kettle with Black Trim - Rapid Boil and Patented Pure Pour Non-Drip Spout - Measuring Window with Cup Level Indicators

I have been looking for a new kettle for some time now and finally have found the perfect one! The kettle is stainless steel and looks fabulous on my counter. The handle is plastic, but I don't mind because it makes the kettle lighter, which is important. The kettle has some great features I was looking for: nice even pour, heats up really quickly, large capacity, large pop-up lid makes filling easy, and it is very quiet. I have tried a lot of other brands (Smeg/Aarkle/Boden) but none function/look like this kettle. I tried a kettle with the multiple temperature options, but this got annoying fast because someone will heat at a low temp and forget to change it back to the high temp and I end up making tea with tepid water. The bottom line is that I am super happy with how this kettle functions and it looks amazing!

Fantastic yea kettle! Cool look and works like a champ for the past 5.5 years! I make tea everyday! It’s used continuously. I’ll be back to write updates on when it’s going to die. But so far it’s working amazingly. It is loud thought! But it doesn’t mother me!

I like the weight and feel of this kettle. It is all metal so no plastic touches the water which is a crucial consideration for a cancer survivor who drinks lots of tea. I bought it to replace the hand-me-up from my daughter who moved to London. Like in many of the other reviews, the on/off button stopped working or stopped connecting and I bought this refurbished one at a slightly lower price. The other advantage is the Dualit name - we always had Dualit toasters when my kids were growing up. It boils very quickly though it is a little noisy. The disadvantage is that the size is deceiving. The max fill line is quite low and it doesn't hold too much water. The water in Los Angeles even filtered, has a lot of residue, so it does need to be brushed out from time to time. It's not super easy to clean because it can't be immersed in water (obviously) but it's not much more difficult than other kettles. The temperature control is basic, it's on or off. No keeping it warm or different temperatures for white, green or black teas.

Have used this kettle for a year. Have loved it for a year. Was a litttle slow to boil but looked good and did the job. Fast forward one year and it has died. Contacted Dualit who said it’s likely the element has failed and is not fixable! Great service Dualit! Think long and hard before spending $108 on a kettle that may only last a year!!

After we used 6 years, did start sticking and not opening. Power clip trips and electrical base shorts. Is this what we need to expect from Dualit? We have the same style toaster - over 12 years now and still working great. Now we need to pay $50 more for the same model to replace.

Very disappointed by the quality and longevity for the price. Paid almost 200 for something that lasted barely two years. The disjoncter stops working and the top of the boiler got bent.

Update: We have had this kettle for over 6 years now, still good as new seeing we use it at least six times a day. It boils quick & is nice and shiny. Love Dualit products! After reading the reviews for US designed kettles, I had to find British or German. Glad I found Dualit. Love it! Only downside is I personally hate blue LED lights.

This is a lovely looking kettle, very easy to use and I love the non drip spout. The only slight con is that in the first few weeks the kettle is noticeably quieter than most kettles but it does get louder over time.

I refuse to return something that is no good to anyone in this country and I should be fully refunded for it. It has US plug on it and is dangerous to use in this country.
