The Kettle Minefield..
My Prestige kettle started leaking this week and wouldn’t switch off via the automatic switch.
I thought it might be to do with limescale as it has done this before and after removing the little bit of limescale, it was ok.
This time l used the ‘vinegar treatment’ but alas it seemed worse.
I looked online and saw the Prestige kettle l would like but that would take a few days to come. Instead, l looked for reviews on kettles. Their recommendations for kettles varied from a cheapy Russell Hobbs to a £100plus Kitchenaid, Cuisinart or Dualit.
I went to Asda and saw their own brand George Home glass kettle for £10 reduced from around £30.
I looked for reviews on my mobile phone and it had great reviews, so l bought it! I have tried it, it’s wonderful but a little bit heavy if you fill it to the maximum. It does one cup though and it’s fast.
Also the water doesn’t have that awful taste that some kettles give.
I also bought a Russell Hobbs Mode, model 21444 from Robertdyas as it had great reviews. I wish, l had read the reviews more fully as lots of people say the water ‘tastes’ even after lots of boilings. I will be taking it back for a refund!
I also didn’t realise, that it is made of plastic!
Today, l have ordered a Prestige kettle online from TKMaxx as they are at a good price of £24.99. I will keep this or the Asda glass one as a spare.
What kettle do you have. Was it a cheapy or an expensive top of the range one? Maybe bought for its trendy look or to go with your kitchen?
Are the expensive kettles worth it?
