We bought this kettle in December 2021. It looks great and works as a kettle should. Unfortunately 2 months out of its warranty it is leaking from somewhere around the base. Not worth spending so much money on a disposable item.

Kettle started leaking just after 2 years of owning the product - so out of warranty. Absolutely no reason for it, worked fine for 2 years, then noticed pools of water and found a leak coming out of the bottom. Don't spend the money for something that won't last!!

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.

Paint cracked round handle so very disappointed but Smeg are arranging replacement

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

It does not work

This a cheap and nasty plastic kettle, the only metal part is the boiling vessel. Being so cheaply made, I am of the opinion that it will not stand much use before some of the pointlessly intricate plastic parts will fail. This is the worst case of paying for the name I have ever been mugged into paying for. It is being returned as an unsatisfactory and below standard product.

The letters came off after 6 months as theyre stuck on, and now after just over a year it's stopped working. Very expensive for what it is
