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

Lovely looking kettle but unfortunately the lid allows water that has already been boiled to run down the back of the kettle towards the handle, as soon as the lid is opened, which for such an expensive item, is a truly poor design and disappointing feature.

Very pleased with the colour and design. My only criticisms are that it’s quite hard to see how much water you have put in as the gauge is behind the handle. It’s also quite heavy when empty.

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.

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.

Although the body of the kettle is nice, I was really disappointed with the quality of the kettle base and the kettle handle which were made of plastic sprayed silver. I just know this is going to either quickly scratch or lose the silver colour quickly which is not good enough for a kettle that is in the higher price bracket. ??

The kettle looks amazing however, it’s style over function. It’s fairly heavy, noisy and water level is blocked by the handle. It’s does look great tho ...

The kettle is fine, it boils water but is quite loud. It appears to be a shade lighter than the same pink toaster that we bought at the same time??
