Reviews for Russell Hobbs 15082 1.7 L Blue Illuminating Glass Kettle (Kitchen & Home) First this: -Amazing to have something that looks like the beautiful blue Cherenkov light in a kitchen! In Sweden we usually have 10 A fuses for ordinary appliances, so I had to have an electrician come over and upgrade the fuse to 13 A for this 3 kW monster to work. After replacing the British plug I finally got the kettle into action and it works wonderful. It is fast and beautiful to look at, it is easy to pour from and easy to fill with cold water. The only thing that worries me is the thin and fragile-looking power switch.
Reviews for Russell Hobbs 15082 1.7 L Blue Illuminating Glass Kettle (Kitchen & Home) It's a rather expensive kettle, this. You can certainly buy a jug which you plug into the wall and which boils 1.7 litres of water for a much cheaper price than this. So, let there be no doubt about it, you are paying for its looks. So, do they justify the price?

Yes, and no. While it's cooking up, it is wonderful to behold. Within seconds of switching it on, you can see currents in the water, and it gets more and more vigorous until it boils violently in a bath of lovely blue light. After the performance is over and the tea is made, though, the inside of the clear glass covers in condensation, which rather spoils the look. All the more reason to have an encore and another cup of tea, perhaps ...

Back to more mundane details. The kettle boils quicker than my old kettle, but my old kettle was 10 years old so this could just be the progress of technology. It boils from its 2 cups level (they are generous cups, by the way) in under 90 seconds. It is also significantly noisier than my old kettle, which surprised me. But hey, it's only for a minute and a half!

Another surprise - given how long this manufacturer has been making kettles - was that the spout pours only averagely well.
Reviews for Russell Hobbs 15082 1.7 L Blue Illuminating Glass Kettle (Kitchen & Home) I bought this kettle to replace my last one that was all made from stainless steel. I think this is an amazing kettle for many reasons: Firstly, the walls are glass, which means that you can see the water and also the base, so you know when it's time to clean it. Also, the illuninating feature is really cool! I know, not a criterion for a kitchen item, but trust me it makes a difference! When I get in the kitchen first thing in the morning I turn the kettle on before turning on the light and the room glows. Not only does it work great and it boils water very fast, but it is very stylish and easy to use. There is a little button on top of the handle which opens the lid, a very useful feature, especially compared to my previous kettle that had a metal lid that was impossible to remove after a while due to limescale built-up. To close it you just press it lightly.
