Rather reluctantly ordered this Smeg kettle after some serious persuasion from wifey as we had just finished our new white kitchen. “The only kettle I want” was the repetitive line. Arrived as promised amid the Covid-19 lockdown. Very smart looking, really quiet and that touch of quality with slow function fill lid. Really impressed. Wifey has no excuses now when I ask for a cuppa

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!

We we always sceptical about the Smeg brand until we used one of these kettles in a holiday cottage. The kettle has a lovely feel and a really smooth pour - it sounds daft, but you really can feel the quality.

Best kettle I’ve ever bought! A tad pricey, but keeps clean; keeping limescale at bay (I live in a very hard water area), has great capacity and keeps the water hot for a decent amount of time if you get distracted mid beverage making! Although not of major importance, it also looks nice and fits neatly the kitchen.

Looks great, boils well. Only reason for reading the stats is the lid is sticky, which should not happen on a high end product. Generally I’m a Smeg fan. Love the retro.

Loved my Smeg kettle, but only lasted just a bit longer than the 2 year warrenty so really not worth the price.

Have been looking for a decent kettle for a while now and was moving home and decided to go all out and get a Smeg as I know they are of good quality and reliable products, yes a bit more pricey than other brands but for what you get it is definitely worth it. I got the slate grey which is a lovely dark grey colour which fits in with my kitchen decor. The smoothness of the opening of the lid, the power button is easy to press down and is quite a quiet boiling kettle and fast too. Not that heavy to fill/lift and pouring action is really good. I would recommend this kettle.

I Love it! Stylish and well made
