Advantages: relatively stylish for the price

Disadvantages: there are prettier kettles out there, it is quite noisy

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 water marks on the steel.

It boils quickly, and whilst rather noisily, I think I would be suspicious of a quiet kettle!

I've only had it 6 weeks and I can't report any problems as of yet.

In summary, it looks smart, functions effectively and complements the rest of my decor, all for a reasonable price.

Summary: If you want a cheap metal kettle this one won't let you down (so far...)
