==Background:== I bought this kettle just over two years ago when my old one gave up the ghost. I was looking for an inexpensive kettle that would make all my cups of tea and coffee while I pondered on writing reviews. My household is small but the demands for hot drinks are high so I needed something I could quickly buy that would not let me down. ==Price:== At the time I had just had my hours at work halved so my budget was very limited. I first port of call was Argos because I knew with them there would be a kettle for most price ranges.

This Cookworks kettle is a good, functional kettle. It boils water more quickly than the average kettle and is probably close the average in terms of noise.

It is also very quick to boil so you don't spend ages waiting for it. One of the things I really like about it is ...  Read the complete review

We purchased this kettle six months ago, after out £40 kettle blew up on us i was determined never to pay more then £10 for a kettle ever again! It came well packaged, boxed with instructions and gaurantee. Ok, the good points: * Easy to clean * Doesnt gather waterstains like stainless steel kettles * Looks great, very contemporary * Lare water capacity * Cool to touch, a lot safer than mettle kettles which conduct the heat on the outside * Quiet when boiling * Makes like a ping noise when water is boiled Now for the bad points: * Takes a while to boil * Short lead * Had an awful plastic smell ...  Read the complete review
