Russell Hobbs Addison Digital RHK510

Leaks water from plastic silicone sealed sight window .. down onto and around the electrics control base. Plastic sight glass and silicone seal got cooked by the hot stainless steel and hot water.... resulted in baked fracturing part allowing hot water to leak out. Tried to buy the replacement seal and sight glass kit but was told by russell hobbs service that they dont have.... just buy a complete new jug.
Obviously to us this is a pity to fill the tip with this not so durable kettle. I can fix if I can be sent the weak part.

Overall this is a fairly good kettle.
- The keep-warm feature is especially useful.
- The cord is a bit short.
- It lasted close to 2 years before leaking from the water level window.
- Replaced by Big W under warranty.

this kettle temperature is not so hot for coffee cos it's warm after a few minutes.. so used tea temperature..It's better..use my coffee machine temperature is right on not warm after couple minutes.. maybe it's just me cos I like coffees hot..ok update the boil dry protection did not work..my daughter switched it on no water..burnt jug.. looks like I'm returning it.. maybe it's just a faulty jug

Heats up perfectly. Love the different settings. However - would love to know what those settings are.
After less then 12 months the labels that say coffee / white tea etc have worn off so I’m not sure what the functions are.

I've had this kettle for about a year and half, and now it finally died. It's really nice looking and not noisy. You can choose the right temperature for every tea or coffee needed & you can also keep the water warm if needed.
But my kettles element started playing tricks recently. I can only boil cold water, if it's lukewarm it won't let me boil it anymore as its thinks its already boiled.

Perfect variable kettle, however the beeping was driving our family bonkers. After we had a newborn it came time to finally fix.

Its nuts they didn't have a way to disable, beeping every time it is lifted/lowered/started/stopped/paused - so many beeps for each kettle usage.

You should never do this - I do not recommend this and take no responsibility - but this is how I was forced to stop the beep in a visual story.

To fix you'll need a tri-wing-bit (the ones shaped like a 'Y') to get the outer casing off.

See pics, and the beeper just needs the metal bit taken out. Pop off the beeper, remove the metal, put the plastic plate back.

I posted this on the Russell Hobbs web site reviewing this product but they rejected it saying that it did not meet all their website guidelines. Literal interpretation is the review was critical of the product.

First kettle the lid did not close/seal properly and steam & hot water came out. Potential scolding issue.
Returned to Goodguys who replaced with another. No hassles. Thanks
Second kettle working OK. After some use it got an outside clean and the print for each temperature buttons smeared. The application of the print is token. S...

I have had the kettle 2 months now and I'm happy with it, its a lot quieter than my previous kettle you do need to descale frequently to minimize the noise level. Only con is that the 100 degrees marking is showing signs of wear already so it no doubt will wear off all together, but it boils easily, is nice and quiet, so it is doing what I wanted

Purchased the Kettle from The Good Guys in October 2021, it chirps every time you do anything with it and the chirping cannot be turned off, very annoying also if you wipe the dashboard temp settings down the black painted temperature lettering wipes off they need to be engraved to avoid this.

Been using it for 8 months. Looks solid and working well.
A bit noisy when it comes to boil, but otherwise pretty good for the price.
Water tastes good.

Only con, outside of the kettle is really hot.

I bought this model just over three years ago. It did everything promised, the water tasted fine. It seemed a little noisy when it came to the boil, but not enough to bother me. It was easy to see the water level as the water level indicator was at the side, not behind the handle like some models.
However, this morning it sprung a leak from that indicator and began trickling down over the base, even when turned off. I gave it three stars because I expected it to last longer than this.

Very easy to use, have nice feature where you can select the temperature to suit your hot drinks. It's actually quieter too, replacing a Breville see-thru glass unit i had previously. All-in-all, good value for a digital kettle.

I've had this kettle for less than 6 months and it's rusty on the inside and the boiled water now has a taste. I will purchase a different kettle and get rid of this one. I purchased this kettle because I was tired of poor quality kettles. I was wrong.

Easy to use, fill and press a button for temperature of the water, auto-shutoff when it's done, easy open lid (push button) and it's not very loud when boiling...Really nothing bad to say about this. It does what it is supposed to do and does it well. The keep warm is a nice feature, but I haven't needed to use that yet

Loved it so far. Waited almost 2 months before writing review and it has worked perfectly. For us cable length is fine, not noticed it to be over noisy, we like the buttons lighting up and the beep when it reaches temp. Its a metal kettle so it gets hot...that's its job. It only has the water level indicator on one side, fine for us, but not for lefties. The speed the top opens was a bit of a surprise as our last one was a soft opener, but we are used to it now. Took out the filter as others have suggested to get better pouring flow.
