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

Bought as a birthday present for my elderly mum , she loves the colour and now thinking of buying matching toaster.The only negative is that she thinks it’s heavy .

Pros: A very sleek design from SMEG giving it the old retro look. I bought the SMEG Chrome and white version that really stands out in my current kitchen. Functions include the soft touch lid opener that lifts the lid smoothly and the adjustable chord winder on the base allowing you to use only the chord required keeping the worktops tidy. The kettle itself comes to a boil fairly quick under a mini for 4 cups of water. It's not as noisy as some of the other kettles I've had so thats another plus. It's well insulated and keeps the water hot for a fair while. CONS: The water gauge is hidden by the sleek handle which means you have to tilt you head. The kettle it'self is a little on the heavy side . Maybe some finger grips on the inside of the handle could improve the egornomics of the product. Otherwise a very well-made ,value for money product ??

Very happy with the purchase true SMEG quality

Good looking kettle- matches toaster. 180 degree swivel very useful. Grey plug not as attractive as rest of kettle. Quick to boil.

Matches the toaster perfectly

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.
