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.

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.

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.

My kettle has developed a large crack at the top of the handle after just 6 months which means it is unsafe for use. Lid does not open very well either, incredibly disappointed as also bought with the toaster and that cooks unevenly and slowly. A very expensive mistake.

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.

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 ...

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
