If you want peace and quiet, then this tube is a must!
- Quiet
- Fast
- Spout looks a bit small
Durability, ease of use and maintenance are not yet possible to assess as I have just received the device.
The pouring spout looks small (see picture, left is the old kettle, right is the new Russel Hobbs) for filling a teapot, the spout could have been a bit bigger. This is fine for pouring a glass.
I bought this mainly because it would be quiet. I compared it to our old kettle (Philips HD 4667) by boiling one liter of water in both and recording the time it took and also the maximum noise.
The Russell Hobbs was a 1/2 minute faster (3.19 minute vs. 2.50) and about 10 db softer (51 vs. 40). So it is indeed quieter and faster. By the way, it is hotter on the outside than the Philips.
The comparison will probably not be completely accurate, since the power of the tubes is not equal and one is of course new and the other is not.
I had asked Coolblue about the height and diameter since these were not in the specifications. They did not know these dimensions. The height without pedestal is 21.5 cm and on the pedestal it is 23.5 cm. The diameter at the bottom is 16 cm.

In the beginning I was very happy with my kettle but unfortunately within 4 weeks rust spots appeared on the lid. Excellent customer service from Coolblue with money refunded within a few days.

Disappoints despite good reviews; rust!!
- Beautiful design
- Quiet
- Fast
- Rust within a few months
Ultimately, the product does not like because it started to rust after a few months; at the top of the lid and at the pouring opening.
