Like the Kettle, and multiple temp options
Happy with the taste of water, capacity is also good.
Overall the kettle is quite good, although after about 2 years (dont know exact date of purchase) the kettle started leaking from the base.
- I boiled water in the evening and came out in the morning to find about 1/2 a litre of water on the bench.
This is the first kettle where I have had this issue - if it was not for that i would probably give it 4 or 5 stars.
And yes it is no the quietest kettle i have had but hey, i want my coffee more than i care about the sound.

One year on and works great
I did alot of research on kettles when looking for a new kettle last year. This kettle ticked all my boxes - stainless steel, variable temperature and keep warm function. The keep warm function works with all temps other than 100 degrees, to be honest I don't use it much at all as I end up pouring the water into a thermos so that it doesn't keep re-heating. With regards to noise, it is a little on the loud side but my previous Kmart kettle was louder. The cord is not that long but I do have a powerpoint right next to it so something to consider...
Read more if you don't have one right close by. Overall a great kettle for the price and looks pretty stylish compared to many others and is not too heavy when empty. Speed to boil is faster than my previous Kmart kettle at approx 2 minutes to 100 degrees. I made sure to write a review after having it for a full year just in case there were any technical issues or hiccups.Purchased in January 2020 at The Good Guys for $70.00.
Can’t believe how loud this is?
Some reviews state this kettle is quiet? Ours is the loudest I have ever had and it’s the first Russell Hobbs I’ve owned. So annoying that I intend to toss it and buy a brand that I’ve had previously. Quality of the make is great, JUST TOO LOUD.

Disappointed
Cord too short.
Otherwise everything else is good. Russell Hobbs products are always reliable and long lasting.
Sorry to be disappointed in the length of the cord. Will look closer at cords before buying again.

Shorter than average cord
Just bought it today and have had to put it on an angle as its cord doesn't reach as easy as the previous kettle did, just 2-3 more centimetres would have been perfect. Also noticed buttons a bit glitchy not working until pressing a couple of times, also lid needs pressing firmly to stay down. If these issues don't right themselves after a few days Im taking it back to Big W. I suppose you get what you pay for, it was only $69 and most variable temp kettles are over $100.

Perfect in every way
Recently purchased this a little less than a week and everything has been great, it's fast and quiet and has a nice soft beep when it finishes boiling to the desired temperature setting. I read reviews before purchasing and was worried about the cord being short as some have mentioned. The cord is a standard length, for those that need to extend the cord you can unwind it from the bottom of the base and wind it back if you need to shorten again.

So far so good
After reading the reviews I was a little sceptical but went ahead and bought this. I love it so far, yes the cord isn’t as long but where I have it, is fine. Will be keeping an eye out for leaks. Loving the temperature setting, I use the 90 degree one for coffee and it’s perfect, use the 70 for green tea and that is also great. Can’t fault so far - having a 2 year warranty is a bonus so
Will see how it wears over time.
Price wise, much more affordable to do the same job as other brands.

So far, so good...
I was given this kettle as a Christmas present, so I haven't owned or used it for long. However, I think it has been designed nicely (in a visual sense). Yes, the power cord is VERY short, so if you can't place it right next to a power point, either don't buy it or use an extension cord. The beep beep when boiled is very quiet, and often I don't hear it. The thermostat seems particularly inaccurate: to boil at 100C, it just keeps going, long after the water has boiled, then eventually stops. The "Coffee 95C" setting actually boils the water, but shuts off just after boiling, so I use this setting instead of the 100C one. Time will tell how reliable it will be, but so far I am satisfied with it.

Variable temperatures for differing purposes from Russel Hobbs kettle preset
Recently purchased this kettle after the previous cheaper one failed when the plastic top hinge on the lid broke - a weakness in the new top opening kettles.
I liked the various temperature controls for different teas and coffee. I have tried them and I think my filter and plunger coffee tastes better. Boils quickly but does not get too hot. Pours OK and allows for boiling of smaller amounts of water.
Neat looking kitchen object.

A good kettle with some design flaws
Overall a good kettle which does the job of boiling water reasonably quickly and at a reasonable volume (but is not particularly quiet). The digital temperature selection is a nice feature which I use regularly for oolong tea (90 degrees). The kettle shuts off when it reaches the desired temperature and emits a pleasant "beep beep" sound that is loud enough to be heard, but not too loud as to be obnoxious.
I don't use the "keep warm" feature myself, but I have noticed that it doesn't work for boiling water, only for temperatures lower than 100...
Read more degrees. The biggest flaw is that the power cord is too short. It is only 60 cm long, which means you basically have to put this kettle right next to a power outlet. It really should be at least one metre long to give you some flexibility in where you put the kettle in your kitchen. I also hate that the water level window is only on one side. I understand having a window on both sides doubles the chance of a leak developing (which has not happened to me after 5 months of ownership) and also increases the cost of production, but ideally I would have liked a window on each side. The two-year warranty is a plus.Purchased in May 2019 at Big W.

Buttons get stuck - don't buy this!
We had this kettle for about 6 months before the most commonly used temperature setting buttons began to get stuck. Sometimes we'd have to press them multiple times, and very hard, for them to work. Other times, the kettle would just keep boiling and not shut off properly - probably because it "thought" that we were holding down the button, when in fact it was just stuck.
Poor manufacturing quality.

Leaked after 3 days from new !!
It looked great. Stainless steel body and had a 2 year warranty. Also the price was reasonable in the mid range for water kettles. But after only three days it started leaking water from the bottom of the water level window.
That's pretty poor design or quality control. I am not going to replace it with anything Russell Hobbs, as I don't trust their quality.

I said i would not replace it with the same. But my wife without knowing took it back and was given another unit of the same model, the RHK510. Since Dec 2018 we have been using this kettle until now ...
Read moreMar 2020. Approx 1 year and 3 months. its working OK, but you start to notice poor quality of the product. Its buttons lose their silvery (stainless steel) like look - they actually look like they have black dirt on them, but is just surface damage. Especially the buttons used the most, The cover and the spout start to deteriorate. The stainless steel grade of the body starts to look pretty pedestrian. I expect high quality appliances to look good and perform good for a long period. The above does not qualify. I should have told my wife sooner that I did not want to replace this kettle with the same brand. Quality products that last longer are better for the environment, because we would not throw appliances into land fill as often as we would with poor quality and short life. I still give this appliance a two star maximum.PetamSydney, NSW

Dangerous leak after 2.5weeks of purchase
After purchasing this kettle only 2 and a half weeks ago I went to turn kettle on and it wasn’t working. I noticed water leaking from the plastic window display which had gone through the electrics at the base. I’m lucky not to have been electrocuted. It maybe a dangerous manufacturing fault but I would not recommend this kettle.

Top Job.
What a Great easy to use Kettle. I looked around and done my research and this is it. The winner in saving power no more boil-boil until it trips not this, it has a Coffee button for the perfect temperature 5 pre-set buttons for Black tea to Green tea. All I know is this is the best kettle none come close. Beep Beep. (The people in the know what this means.)
Questions & Answers
Reju kovoorasked
Hi, I bought it yesterday after spending a good time on line reviews with very positive customer reviews. But just scared to use it as I observed the plastic water level gauge inside as well as a plastic around a screw at the bottom. So water boiling with plastic in it causing health issues. Due to this reason I am going to return it. Any suggestions or reason for this build. I hope they can replace it glass instead to keep healthy. Plastic outside no problem. We Family uses kettle may be 25 times in a day . So it is essential it should not give health issues. Expecting your reply. ThankS
