Reviews for De'Longhi Icona KBO3001.R Jug Kettle, 3kW, Scarlet Red (Kitchen & Home) The handle is attached at only one point, and after 3 months ours developed a leak at this point, with steam condensing within the handle and dripping onto the work surface. Whilst this is covered under the warranty, I have to take or send this to an approved DeLonghi agent (nearest 20 miles away) and arrange a repair or replacement. I am then expected to return to the agent to pick up the repaired or replaced item. DeLonghi claim they don't reimburse any out of pocket expenses arising as a result of a repair; fortunately, I know my rights and how to enforce them, but it's aggravation I can do without.

The product has an inherent design flaw, and unless you know how to enforce your consumer rights, you will have to pay to get this turkey repaired or replaced. My advice: buy another manufacturer's kettle.
Reviews for De'Longhi Icona KBO3001.R Jug Kettle, 3kW, Scarlet Red (Kitchen & Home) Noise is a relative concept. Is this kettle noisy? Well, noisy compared to what? It is quieter than my last kettle. If you've been using a particularly quiet kettle then maybe this model will disappoint you, but I find it hard to classify it as objectively loud. It is also quick to boil, so even if its low growl annoys you the irritation doesn't last for long.

As for the reports of a funny taste, well, that is quite a drawback for a kettle. Anyone with a kettle that leaves a metallic or otherwise foul taste in the boiled water has a kettle unfit for use. It should be replaced with one fit for the purpose it was sold.
Reviews for De'Longhi Icona KBO3001.BK Jug Kettle, 3kW, Black (Kitchen & Home) I wouldn't normally consider paying this much for a kettle but it was a perfect match for our refitted kitchen. It looks and feels a quality item and, having had it for several months now, seems easy to clean in order to maintain it's appearance. Quick to boil but quiet it certainly isn't - sort of likes to let you know it's there and working. I trust it will last long enough to justify the cost.
