Lovely Looking kettle - really finished off the look of my kitchen - However, a few months outside of warranty a large bubble appeared under the paint/finish and eventually took over half the kettle! I really would have expected it to last a few years longer for the price!

Not as great as I expected from SMEG. Actually seemed a little cheap and tinny, lid doesn’t always open first time and I thought it would be quieter when boiling.

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.

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.
