Our previous kettle which had been pretty cheap was still working well but was starting to look quite shabby due to the plastic discolouring so I made a cursory search for a new one. This Philips model was described as being a quick boiler and there was mention of aspects of environmental friendliness; the price also seemd reasonable for a decent brand. I've now been using this kettle for about two years and it looks as good as new and continues to work well. I have to say that in terms of appearance this does look like a kiddie kettle; a bit clunky and plasticky, curved but certainly not what you might call sleek. It doesn't bother me; my kitchen is a tip and ...  Read the complete review

Kettles die - fact. So when our Breville kettle finally bit the dust we needed a quick and cheap replacement, something that wasn't going to break the bank, but also something that seemed sufficient enough to endure more than a week with us and to that end we discovered the Philips HD4644/00 Energy Efficient Kettle. We bought the Philips from Amazon for the very reasonable price of £16.90 and it's been serving us well since then, slaving away tirelessly boiling hundreds of litres of water to keep my family's caffeine addiction at bay and through all those cups of tea, I've managed to rack up a considerable amount of use with this appliance, enough to tell you ...  Read the complete review

A kettle is something pretty much all of us have, yet it is something we often take for granted. We just pour some water in, press and button and a minute or two later we have our hot water ready to make a brew. The fact is kettles are wonderful inventions that really do save time and effort. It's amazing when you see how many different kettles there are on the market, selecting one to buy is almost impossible, there are simply so many to choose from. I suppose you are looking for one that will be reliable, look good and not stretch the budget to far. This is the reason we bought ourselves one of these, a Philips Energy Efficient Kettle. If I'm honest ...  Read the complete review

I've been using this particular kettle for a few months now and so far it hasn't let me down. I bought it when I moved to my new flat as at my old place the kettle belonged to the house so could not take it with me. Mainly I wanted one which would do its job and not break down with in the first few months and as Philips is a name I have trusted for years it looked like a good buy as it was only £25 at the time. Now the kettle is in appearance not the most aesthetically pleasing thing to have in your kitchen as it is just a standard white plastic cordless jug kettle. However, with it being white it will fit in with most kitchens quite well. The heating element ...  Read the complete review

When I recently had to shop for a kettle I didn't really have much in mind. As long as it didn't cost much, looked nice enough and boiled water it would suit me fine. My main port of call was Amazon.co.uk as I had some vouchers to use, and when viewing the Top 10 best selling kettles it was this one by Philips which caught my eye, purely because of the 'energy efficient' in the title and the fact it didn't cost much, I paid £18.98 for it. The kettle looks nice enough, and fits well into my kitchen. Whilst it is plastic, it looks good quality due to the bits of silver rather than it being all white and I'm happy enough with the appearance. It is easy to ...  Read the complete review
