What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing gives voltage as both 240 and 220-240, so the exact voltage range is inconsistent. It also claims a soft-opening lid intended to reduce splashing, which is not a guarantee against burns or spills. The stated dimensions are listed as 9.4L x 6.3W x 9.6H centimetres, so confirm orientation if cabinet or bench clearance matters.

Customer feedback highlights perceived good build quality, fast boiling, appearance, ease of use and capacity. Some also appreciate the boiling sound, while reports differ on whether the kettle is quiet or noisy. Durability feedback includes reports of lids cracking after a couple of years and on/off switches breaking. These are customer-reported experiences, not confirmed defects. For buyers prioritising everyday water boiling, the positive comments align with the listed 1.7 L capacity and rapid-boil claim, but the mixed durability reports are worth weighing for long-term use.
