I swithered over buying myself a Smeg kettle for such a long time, the reason being the price but in the end I succumbed to ordering this beauty and I'm so happy I did. The Smeg kettle is worth every penny, with it's unmistakable iconic retro design and eye-catching logo, it has completely lifted my kitchen from the budget white gloss j-pull kitchen of the moment, transforming it into a really stylish looking high-end gleaming kitchen of another calibre. All because of the kettle (okay, I did go ahead and order the toaster too!!). You can feel the quality in the weight of the kettle as soon as you lift it out of the box, then you discover the features that set it apart from most other kettles, such as the sophisticated push-top lid - with a touch of the button on the lid, it opens automatically in a sleek and controlled way - I was so impressed and had the biggest smile! Then when you go to use it, you realise it can hold 1.7 litres of water! The flick-on switch is also designed to be set apart from any other, not merely a button, but a little rod with a ball on the end that just gives it that 50's American styling; the action of switching it down to start the kettle is pleasurable in itself! Then comes the lovely quiet hum (or should I say purr?) of the kettle as it begins to heat the water...it just all round oozes quality. I also love that there is a light that comes on around the on-flick-switch when you've switched it on then it blinks as the kettle is about to reach boiling point. I just love this kettle and I can't stop admiring it every time I walk into my kitchen now. Anybody thinking about buying this, I'd say just go for it because it's so so worth it!

Not only is this kettle aesthetically pleasing in the kitchen, it is also an amazing product! Really quick to boil, no lime scale as there’s a little protective grid in there. Really worth the money!

Excellent product absolutely love it such a lovely kettle

The kettle is of good quality and matches the toaster that I bought at the same time. They fit perfect in my new kitchen. The kettle boils very quickly unlike my previous kettle. I like the little light at the side when it's boiling and I know when its boiled as the light goes out. I'm so pleased with the item and I know I have made the right choice choosing Smeg.

Fantastic piece of design, very pleasing to the eye. Books water perfectly. But in a more attractive manner! Highly recommend. Next day delivery from ao, seamless transaction.

This kettle looks great in our kitchen lovely quality and colour. Pretty quiet and fast to boil,Also got the matching toaster.

Arrived exacty when it said it would. Good packaging. Easy to register online for guarantee. Love love love my new kettle. AO was cheapest place for the white version.

Kettle performs very well, and is certainly well built. It is however quite noisy when boiling! Will require regular descaling in hard water areas, but then what kettle doesn't!
