Cool looking Kettle.
Nice country cottage style that suits my kitchen, heats up quickly, easy to pour and fill up. Liked the 2 year warranty offered. Lovely modern colour - cream, matches most colours.

Russell Hobbs - The name says it all
This is our 4th Russel Hobbs Kettle over a lot of years. We have one upstairs and one in kitchen but don’t think they have a problem, no way, we lost one in the 2022 floods and my grandson trashed another. We have paid a bit more for the Kettle but have found that the Russel Hobbs Kettle is a great product and we won’t charge our brand any time soon.

Key benefits
- Rapid Boil: Boils water quickly, saving time during busy mornings.

- Easy Pour Spout: Minimises spills and drips for clean, safe pouring.
- 360° Swivel Base: Convenient for left- or right-handed use.

Q: What size household is the Russell Hobbs Legacy Kettle Cream best suited to?
A: It is best suited to everyday family use, with a 1.7 litre capacity that typically makes about 6 to 7 cups, depending on cup size. That gives it more flexibility than compact travel or 1 litre kettles if several hot drinks are made back to back.
Q: Does the Russell Hobbs Legacy Kettle Cream have a removable filter for limescale?
A: Yes, it includes a removable, washable filter to help reduce loose limescale particles pouring into the cup. That is especially useful in hard-water areas, but it does not replace regular descaling, which is still needed to keep boiling performance consistent.
Q: Is the Russell Hobbs Legacy Kettle Cream designed for quick small boils, not just full loads?
A: Yes, this model is designed to be practical for smaller boils as well as full fills, which helps if only one or two drinks are needed. That can be more convenient and more efficient than boiling a full 1.7 litre kettle when only a single cup is required.
Q: Is the Russell Hobbs Legacy Kettle Cream easy to use for left and right-handed users?
A: Yes, the 360 degree base makes it easier to place the kettle down from either side, which suits both left and right-handed users. That is also handy on shared kitchen benches where the kettle may be picked up and returned from different angles.
Q: Does the Russell Hobbs Legacy Kettle Cream suit buyers wanting a matching breakfast set?
A: Yes, this cream kettle is part of the Russell Hobbs Legacy styling, so it suits shoppers building a coordinated benchtop look rather than buying a standalone kettle. For matching options, browse the Russell Hobbs Legacy range available at The Good Guys.
