The minefield of kettles is a nightmare to go through - trying to find the right one for you can be horrific - scanning all the catalogues, trailing round the shops and searching online - I found this one at Comet and it was "love at first site".
The overall design is very pleasing to the eye - very sleek lines for a kettle . Large chunky handle that is easy to grip. fairly solid plastic construction with the element concealed under a metal plate inside. Both side are clear which allows a good view of the water level - so no excuse for letting the kettle boil dry. ( but it does have an anti boil-dry feature

The ketlle is very easy to operate with the on off switch on top of the handle - (it is auto-off but you can switch off manually) . It has a fun side to it with the nice blue colour emitted from a small bulb inside when it is "resting", which changes to a red colour when it is in the process of heating and boiling. It also has a keep warm function which is handy so you don't have to keep reboiling the kettle over a short period of time,
The kettle is filled via the top which opens easily and should be easy enough for anyone to top it up. Good capacity - 1.7 litres or 3 and a half pints in old money.

It has a powerful element (3KW) and boils reasonable quickly
Over all a good performing kettle that looks elegant on your worktop at a reasonable price.
