4.0 Out Of 5 Stars (77 Customer Reviews)Reviews for Morphy Richards Accents 43772 Pyramid Kettle, Red (Kitchen & Home) I bought this for my partner's 79yr old mother, who was intent on having "something nice".
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so you can draw your own conclusions on whether or not you like this kettle. If you do, then beware - Argos have been discounting a very similar kettle which (as it's similar) is not quite the same in its design.
On to the practicalities:
This kettle has a larger footprint than most, due to it's conical shape, yet has a slightly smaller capacity than many
The water level indicator is in line with handle and switch. Form over function ... and it's very difficult to see (even when you put the kettle down and turn the indicator to face you)
It's noisy. When it's boiling a relatively small amount of water it's even noisier.
Scale seems to be building up around the rim of the lid
I don't find the handle ergonomic
Household members have taken to wiping splashes off it after every fill, to avoid water marks
On the positive side, it seems to pour without dripping ...
Reviews for Morphy Richards Accents 43772 Pyramid Kettle, Red (Kitchen & Home) I bought this kettle from Homebase when it was on special offer a couple of weeks ago - cheaper than Amazon. I usually buy supermarket own brand kettles and they last for years, this one was much more expensive. I just felt that the design and colour looked so cheerful and that my kitchen needed something to brighten it up on a cold winter's morning. First off the taste was disgusting, the tea/coffee did taste plastic, another reviewer suggested baking powder, it works and the taste improved. Then, after a couple of uses, a scratch appeared without any obvious cause.
Reviews for Morphy Richards Accents 43772 Pyramid Kettle, Red (Kitchen & Home) This kettle is inspired by the Alessi kettle of the 1980s and hints of Art Deco. The metallic red is wonderful and brightens up the kitchen during bleary eyed breakfasts. It is filled through the spout and it pours without dribbles spoiling the immaculate finish.
