Prestige Dakota 1.7 litre Kettle. My rapid boil kettle blew up one morning prior to going to work so I used the spare kettle we had bought as an emergency standby but it was far too slow for my liking so off I went to Sainsburys on the hunt for a new kettle. Unfortunately there was very little choice on the shelves except for this Prestige Dakota kettle for £29.95 which I popped in the trolley to take home with me. The kettle is a jug shaped kettle made from crimson red plastic and is rapid boil kettle with a 3000w concealed element in the base of the jug. It has a black lid and handle at the top there is a button to open the lid and just under the ...  Read the complete review

I'm not a huge tea or coffee drinker but my husband needs coffee to function so a kettle is an essential in our house. A few months ago our old kettle went pop.....fizzle....bang and emitted a sad little plume of smoke, so my husband left immediately to go and get the much needed replacement. He returned home with this kettle from Sainsburys which cost him £29.97. A matching toaster is also available for £25.97. The kettle retails from the Prestige website for £35 and from Amazon for around £30. My first impressions of this kettle were that it was much sleeker than our clunky old basic kettle that we had had before. It has a more aesthetically pleasing ...  Read the complete review

I bought one of these almost a year ago now using a few Tesco vouchers from their Direct Catalogue for around £30. For what was essentially a freebie with the Clubcard points, I was still looking for something reasonably long-lasting a high quality; I haven't been disappointed greatly yet so I'm happy enough with it. Dakota wasn't a brand I'd heard of before, but I came across a few kitchen appliances in their range when I was browsing and the designs caught my eye. The kettle looked shiny and neat, and the red was quite funky compared to my usual opting of silver and stainless steels. I also noticed that the glossy colour looked ever so slightly glittery, ...  Read the complete review

When my OH boiled our old kettle with either little or no water in (stupid!) and burnt the bottom of it, therefore rendering it useless, I wasn't amused at first, because I would have to go out and spend money to replace an item that up until then had been working perfectly for years. But once I actually started to look at the range of kettles that is available now-a-days, I was secretly pleased that I could buy a funky new one that would match my kitchen colour scheme better lol! I'd started to introduce a lot more red items into my kitchen, and so I decided that this was the colour I would go for, and I certainly did have a lot of choice, red must be one ...  Read the complete review

Well if your read my previous review then you will know that I just had to buy the kettle to match the toaster as well. It seems that I was right and that they do this Dakota set in red as the picture above proves. My kettle is black with a slight sparkle in it unlike the picture showing a red one. The kettle we have been using was a cheap one from Tesco's which we have had for a couple of years and had started to get quite limscaley around the lid ( mainly because all the lazy people in my house fill it up through the spout!), so it was getting difficult to remove it. I hate tatty looking things in my kitchen and this was certainly looking that. So again I ...  Read the complete review
