Kettle lid bubbled and chipped paint off within 2 days of use.

Lets start with the pro’s. It’s says smeg and looks great on the kitchen worktop. It boils the water and pours without causing any spills via its stainless steel spout....and that’s about it. The con’s. When boiling it sounds like a small jumbo jet taking off so it’s noisy. The stainless steel body gets very hot and when holding water is very heavy so those with mobility issues will find this kettle difficult to use. The silver base is made from plastic and is horrible when viewed up close. Our first kettle rocked on its base when it first began to boil and after just two days we noticed that the paint had begun to bubble on the plastic lid. That said, Smeg replaced the kettle within days so their warranty works. We have other Smeg items so this kettle looks great alongside them but if I wasn’t so materialistic then I wouldn’t go anywhere near this kettle.

Yes I know it's JUST a kettle! BUT it looks great, it's quiet and it feels great quality too. I ummmed and ahhhed for ages because how on earth can I justify £120 for a kettle!!! .....and you know what I decided I'm worth it and I'm glad I did because it just feels good to use! PS him indoors has no idea though ??

Absolutely gorgeous. Definitely adds the wow factor to my kitchen. Pondered for ages about buying it. So glad I did. Wish they did the tea, coffee and sugar canisters to match. Also purchased the matching toaster. Looks awesome.

Hi It looks lovely. I’m just not keen on the quality. The base and handle looks like chrome but it is fact plastic which was a disappointment considering the cost. I have also purchased a SMEG fridge and range cooker. I hope the quality of those items are better.

Just purchased the Smeg kettle and although I am delighted Hayes with it. Iam finding th lid doesn’t open on the first press of the button. It takes at least two or three times

This kettle is worth the investment. It's sleek and minimal and 100% worth the money. The sing-song noise it makes when the kettle boils is so much better than the usual beeping that normal kettles makes. I say normal, because this one is on another level. Simply gorgeous.

No problems with the kettle yet still overpriced for what it is.
