I need a beautiful kettle

Anything but Dualit. My toaster has been going strong for 10 years, my Dualit kettles have never lasted more than 2.

Is there such thing as a stylish, efficient and quiet kettle?

Hello. This thread is a little old now and some of the recommendations may be out of date. Take a look at our round-up of the best kettles - according to Mumsnetters - for more up-to-date suggestions. MNHQ.

I too have the cream Kitchenaid one. It looks fab but has started to go wrong after only 2.5 years Sad. It will only boil at 100 degrees now, and can't be set at the lower ones or it goes into beeping frenzy.

Thanks for the comments.
Looking at the reviews all the kettles seem to have some negatives.
I love the shape of the Smeg and the gorgeous Kitchenaid.

It's just a kettle so what's the issues? It as far as I'm concerned there are no problems . We bought online and had an issue with the lid after a few months , my dh emailed smeg and they came and got it with a brake new replacement . Can't say fairer than that. Smile

True. My PIL have the Smeg and also had problems with the lid, they put it down to lime scale which we don't get.
What do you mean just a kettle? Wink

I got it from Very

I have the smeg and the letters are just stuck on, looks cheap. The toaster has proper metal letters and looks a lot more stylish. I still like it though.

We have this KitchenAid kettle. It's lovely.

We have an Alessi, it's the cooker top version but I lurve it! It has a little bird which whistles when the water has boiled :-)
Was expensive but worth it imo. I believe they do electric kettles as well?

We have the Alessi electric kettle, What Grin. It's about twelve years old now and still going strong.....we love it!

There are a lot of very lovely glass kettles. We have a beautiful one that's discontinued. This type of thing:

Thanks all, I've ordered a swanky Kitchenaid one. If it's hopeless there will be trouble Grin
