3.2 Out Of 5 Stars (38 Customer Reviews)Reviews for De'Longhi Classic KBE3014-2 Cordless Kettle, 3kW, Cream (Kitchen & Home) Cannot be as generous as piglet.
What do Italians know about kettles - obviously nothing. (I should have known that as I know they don't use them).
Awkward to lift even when empty and very heavy. Impossible to refill through the spout. The lid is difficult to remove in order to fill the kettle, especially when it's just boiled and you need to boil more water because it jams. And the whole thing gets boiling hot on the outside when used, awkward at the best of times and dangerous with children about. Turn it on and you'd be forgiven for thinking a helicopter was landing in your back garden. The gauge is difficult to read - not a minor point. There's a piece of clear plastic which makes it look like there's water in there when there isn't - my mother nearly boiled it dry! And a terrible pourer. It splashes everywhere. And although it looks retro and quite solid in the pictures, the on/off switch actually feels flimsy and cheap and it's constantly grubby (especially as it's so difficult to fill and dribbles while you pour).
Reviews for De'Longhi Classic KBE3014-2 Cordless Kettle, 3kW, Cream (Kitchen & Home) Just idling thru reviews while I decide whether to buy the matching toaster or not, and I was surprised to find how poorly this is rated.
And yet, I can hardly disagree with some - the gauge is particularly bad and does indeed look as though it's registering water content when there's none.
However, I find it robust, a good pourer, I like the side-ways handle on the lid, so that if you do take it off to re-fill after boiling, you don't scald yourself. I also like the fact that it will boil small amounts of water, and always turns off at boiling, whether it's full or got hardly any in.
Yes, it is Very Noisy, you can't have a phone conversation next to it when it's boiling.
I've had mine about 6 months in a fairly average kitchen, I'm no perfect housewife, but it doesn't look grubby or tatty yet. I've just been to stare at it to check.
Reviews for De'Longhi Classic KBE3014-2 Cordless Kettle, 3kW, Cream (Kitchen & Home) I'm confused, I think you've all been sent a dodgy batch here guys, either that or this isn't the same kettle that we both love. The kettle looks great, that's originally why we got the thing, but I must say that ever since it's been great, fast to boil, accurate to pour and all round very easy to keep looking neat and tidy.
Once again, some people's standards amazes me. It's a kettle, it boils water and looks great whilst doing so. Those are my two boxes ticked.
I'd recommend you ignore perhaps 80% of these reviews, and you'll be perfectly happy.
