Cookworks Jug Kettle

COOKWORKS JUG KETTLE. Having not had much luck with kettles letely, the one in the flat stopped working. Having shopped around, i managed to purchaes this kettle last week, simply by chance as the one i had originally been after was out of stock and this was shown to me as a replacement. I purchased this from Argos Extra and they brought the kettle out for me took it out of the box, and let me have a look, it was advertised for 12.98p but when i went to pay it was reduced to £10.00 so i was most delighted with the extra bonus of having received this for a mere £10.00.

A few months ago I decided to update my kettle as my old one was looking a little sorry for itself. I liked the look of the stainless steel ones that seemed to be everywhere and so decided I would have one of these if I could find it at the right price.

But this cookworks kettle gave up very soon after buying it. The boiling was not so efficient as the tefal one and ...  Read the complete review

I have recently bought a brand new flat with a very modern feel and felt that my kettle had to reflect this, therefore I opted for a stainless steel one. The stated 'brushed steel' effect is quite subtle, and the problem with any metallic item the shine soon dies and starts to show water marks. However, it does look nice and modern and simple. I bought it for about £12 from Argos, which was perfect, and I am happy that the quality is acceptable. I was worried that up close it may look cheap, and I have to say I can't really complain in regard to that area! I also bought a matching toaster from Cookworks which seems equally effective, although I am still worried about ...  Read the complete review
