Russell Hobbs 23211 Luna Quiet Boil Electric Kettle, Stainless Steel, 3000 W, 1.7 Litre, Grey

Product Information

Once set in action, the kettle emits a soft white light and a calming low beep – it might sound silly, but the Artisan gives boiling water a truly luxurious feel thanks to deft design touches like these.

Safety features– Safety features such as illuminating when it’s on and cool to the touch are extremely useful to prevent burning. It has a wide mouth for easy filling, a heat resistant and ergonomic handle, a 360 degree base, an up to 4 hours keep warm function, boil dry protection and automatic shut off. Of course, great budget options often come with a few sticking points and in this regard the Anyday is no different. It’s base is light, so the wire does dictate which way the base sits, which it a common issue with kettles with a strong wire.Perfect for young families, early risers and night owls, Quiet Boil Technology makes the Eclipse Kettle 75% quieter** than other Russell Hobbs Kettles without quiet boil technology, so you can ease into your day with little interruption. By boiling 1 cup at a time, this kettle yields a 66% saving on energy when compared to the usual 1 litre boiled.

Alongside energy efficiency, you might also want to consider the noise level of your kettle if you’re the first one up in your house.Kettles aren’t the most high-tech of kitchen items, but it’s worth looking out for safety features such as an auto shut-off function – should you accidentally put too little water in the kettle, this will stop it boiling dry. Available in three different styles (dome, jug and pyramid) you’re not without options with this one. For example, boil dry protection in case the kettle is turned on without water, or the water is left by mistake and boils away. The Duronic EK42 also has the ability to keep the boiled water up to temperature for up to 30 minutes at a time. This kettle has a window to easily measure the level of water inside, where you can see if more needs to be added.

They include a 360 degree base, a removable and washable limescale filter and a concealed heating element. The switch seems quite flimsy and it the description says the kettle has a concealed element (which i wanted) but it doesn't.The button to open the lid is nice and big, however the lid does seem to spring open a little more than we’d like. That being said, there are small variations in boil times and how quickly the temperature drops after boiling – important if you want to cut down how often you re-boil. They are less susceptible to damage caused by mineral deposits than electric kettles and require neither a mains plug nor space on your work surface.

While we liked the Russell Hobbs Attentiv best overall, the Bosch Styline is no slouch, providing a great alternative for anyone not quite won over by the Attentiv. Whether you’re looking to soundproof, fix that squeak or get rid of that loud noise… we’ve got you covered. Featuring a 360 base with integrated cord storage, the Eclipse kettle will fit comfortably within the space in your kitchen, perfect for both left and right handed users.I’m a lefty myself so that’s a big plus for me… anything that makes moving boiling water easier is always good. Five minutes after boiling, the water in the Dualit Lite still measured a toasty 93°C, coming second only to the Zwilling Enfinigy Pro. Boiling water about as quickly as our other recommended 3,000W kettles, the Anyday took just 2 mins 15 secs.
