   Bought to replace our older Dualit that we have had for ten years because whilst still working well it is looking tired and of course styles change.

   This one taps into the latest style of using copper for a bit of added retro look, which I rather like. There is a sort of ‘industrial,’ look about it that is a bit steam punk in its execution.

   In use it boils very fast and most noticeably – or rather not – very quietly. So much so that you have to be standing right by it to hear it. The lid is a bit stiff to open which I’m sure will ease over time but when it is open the top is clear for filling with an easily read level gauge down the side.

   If I do have a niggle then it is the manufacturing of this. It’s not cheap for a kettle and yet whilst Dualit proudly brandishes the ‘Designed and Engineered in Britian,’ tag lines everywhere, the reality is that this is not made in the UK. It is made like most things overseas in some low labour cost country. And if this only cost twenty quid then fair enough but when you are forking out close on £120 then I fail to see how there isn’t enough slack in that price to enable UK manufacturing to still allow a decent profit to be made. This is a real bugbear with me when ‘traditional,’ British companies play on their Britishness and charge accordingly yet are actually selling you stuff made in the Far East.

   Anyway, rant over, the actual product is well made, stylish and works very well. But pricey.

   Das Gerät wurde schnell geliefert. Leider mit einem nicht passenden Stromanschluß. Statt für die deutsche Steckdose hat er einen englischen Stecker. Jetzt muss ich entweder basteln oder mit einem Adapter auskommen. Das trübt meinen Eindruck etwas, da es leider aus der Artikelbeschreibung nicht ersichtlich wurde.

   Der Wasserkocher hat keinen EU Stecker und wird mit integriertem Adapter für die behinderste Steckdosenart der Welt geliefert (UK Stecker). Dadurch ist der Stecker viermal so groß wie nötig und dazu noch instabil.

   Ausserdem wird der Kocher von außen extrem heiß, auch nahe der vorgesehen Griffe.

   Wow, proper Dualit quailty.
   Expensive for something that only boils water, but worth the money in my opinion.
   Finish is really excellent, looks every bit as good as the photos.
   Boils quickly, pours well with no drips at all. The spout is quite narrow, so you don’t get a great gush of boiling water out; it’s a steady pour rather than a deluge, which I like.
   This is advertised as being a very quiet kettle, but I wouldn’t buy it solely on that claim- to my ears it’s not much quieter than any many others.

   One great thing – it’s repairable. Should there be a problem years down the line (I’m not expecting any, but you never know), Dualit design their stuff so that they can repair it if need be. I like that. I could have bought a cheap kettle that if broke would end up in landfill.

   As far as I know, Dualit are a British company that have been round for many decades. I’ve had a 2-slice Dualit toaster for twenty odd years, which is still going strong and with a polish looks as good as new.

   I decided to buy this article over amazon.de to have an European plug and it comes with the UK plug. It’s not mentioned anywhere! Could had both it 36 euros cheaper for the same product over amazon.co.uk and there I know for sure it came with the non European plug. This is second Dualit product I buy over amazon.de and the first one came with the right plug.

   The quality of this product is total rubbish, they are expensive as well as good looking they do not last.
   I will never purchase this brand again, as I have had 2 of these kettles both failed.!!!
   Better off just buying a cheap kettle, then you will not be to bothered when it fails in less than 2 years.

   This is a good, well made kettle. Looks good as well and easy to clean. Expensive, but you get what you pay for. This kettle should last, especially as you can send it off to have the element replaced, should it go. Very pleased with it overall. It’s no quieter than other kettles. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I’m finding it difficult to see where the water level is when filling.

    I’ve wanted one of these (and the matching toaster) for ages. Took the plunge and forked out for the most expensive kettle I’ve ever owned.
    Practically speaking, it performs as well as any other quality kettle. It’s quite fast, quite quiet and safe to pick up whilst full of hot water, as the handle remains cool enough to touch.
    What sets this apart, for me at least, are the classic looks, the flask-like construction that keeps boiled water warm, and the accurate pour. You do however, need to tip the kettle quite far to get the water out.
    I hope and expect that this is the last kettle that I ever need to buy, and while I own it, I will smile whilst admiring my investment.
