Russell Hobbs Eco One Cup
Verified21 reviews
Wish they would bring this back on the market. Ours is years old and I fear it won't last forever. All my friends comment how efficient it is. They ask "where can I get one?" Please consider bringing it back.
Very handy little kettle. Use it every day – I bought this kettle just over 8 years ago. It’s been a little workhorse. I use it 4 or 5 times every day and it hasn’t faltered. It boils very quickly and it’s very easy to use. You know how much water is in there because you measure it with your cup you’re going to use. I don’t know if it gets hot on the outside because there’s no need to… Read more
touch it.
I think it had been discontinued when I bought it – I had to hunt around to find one. What a shame because it’s a little beauty.
Perfect kettle for one – I love this kettle and want to buy one for a friend who is unable to pour out a kettle now. BUT problem is I can't find one to buy!
Bring it back! – I rang the company a year ago hoping they would bring this model back. But obviously when she said we’d look into it, must be a slow process! I agree with everyone on this page, it’s a magic kettle! Show details
Brilliant. Best invention ever! – This is the best kettle because I could put the teabags in the cup, switch it on, go do other things & my tea is brewing. It’s also power saving and quick.Unfortunately it has this moment broken down after many years use. I really, really want another one. I can’t understand why they’re discontinued when they’re so brilliant. I wish I’d bought a few more at the time. Show details
Love it – Over the years I have had two of Russell Hobbs one cup kettles.There is only one problem I am due for another one and can’t get them anywhere can you please let me know where I can buy one ,would recommend them
One cup kettle wonder – I have had this model for over ten years & its still going. It was purchased for my husband suffering MND & it gave him the ability to make his own coffee after I just put the water in & set up the coffee & milk. Now on my own it is such a whiz for any one hot drink in a hurry. Many of my friends have commented on its versatility & I have been… Read more
trying to purchase one for a friend but have to bring another brand in from overseas. This is the most commonsense kettle for all the singles especially seniors. Please bring it back & let me know when. Great gifts!!
For a person living alone, it’s perfect! – ** This was a gift - I do not know the original purchase date so I used the date it was given to me ** I love this little kettle and am disappointed to see that it’s been discontinued. It’s terrific, I can just set it going and walk away and my cup of tea pours itself once the water has boiled! Since I have a habit of wandering away after hitting… Read more
the button and coming back to an empty cup and have to re-boil the water again (I like my tea strong, steeped for quite awhile, and not too hot), it’s just perfect for me in so many ways.
I am officially in love with a kettle – I had never seen or heard of these before and bought one for $5 on Gumtree without actually realising what it was. I am totally thrilled with it. It now lives next to my bed to save me from the horrors of facing a freezing cold house before I've had coffee! Please bring these back Russell Hobbs! I was just really lucky! Show details
Strong chemical smell in the water – I wanted a small kettle, so bought this one after reading all the good reviews. But I have been reluctant to use it as it's all plastic inside, and it smells! If you open the lid and stick your nose close to the inside, phew! There is a strong chemical smell. You can smell it in the water it boils too (it's faint). I boiled and discarded dozens of… Read more
full kettles of water, but there was no change, it still smells. The chemicals in the plastic probably leach out and into the water, which can't be good for you. Don't waste your money on this one!
Simply the best you can but but no more stock – I managed to buy one a display sample 18 months ago then got another last week at Cash Converters new for $25.00 a steal. Why cant one buy the best gadget now days? They are to me just the greatest means of making a cuppa tea or coffee at at half the cost of boiling a kettle.
Purchased 4 it was so good – The first of these I bought for an elderly friend who still says (1 1/2 years on) it was the best present she's ever got. (She has rheumatism.) A family member, who originally passed on it, put in a request for one after using mine a couple of times. All are still working well at this point in time. Sadly, It no longer appears to be in production: maybe not enough spent on marketing, or it's original price point was too high.
Sadly it has died – Bought from Harvey Norman in August 2012 and as it was on special bought two, one for a spare. I loved it and it worked so well after two years I gave the spare to a friend. In December 2015 it developed a fault and blew fuses, so had to throw it away. The spare I gave to a friend is still working well. I guess three years is OK for a cheap modern appliance. I have replaced it with a Tefal Mini kettle for which I have written a separate review.

Suprised me with just how much I like this product – When I ordered my one cup kettle, I was very uncertain whether I'd like it or not. The sole reason I bought it was due to the positive reviews here about the product. After having the one cup kettle for a number of weeks, I can say that this has surpassed every hopeful expectation I had. It's very quiet and the water is boiled in about 30… Read more
seconds. I can make 2 cups of coffee with the one cup kettle quicker than I could make 2 cups of coffee with the old kettle, it boils the water that quick.
The one negative I did experience with this product, was when we first received it, I found it awkward to put the water into the kettle and kept spilling water all over the place. This is no longer an issue though, as we've since gotten a plastic cup which we use to pour the water perfectly into the kettle.
Considering how little this kettle costs, it's an absolute winner. It impressed me so much, I've since ordered another for my mother.
Highly recommended for anyone in need of a new kettle, or looking to replace their old one.
Can't live without it! – I bought my first Eco one cup kettle from Harvey Norman a few years ago and cannot go without it. I even bought a second one in case this one conks in. I love it so much that i have given/advised all my family to buy one. So much so, my friends in Brisbane and Adelaide have one as well and my family in South Africa. Once you start using this, you… Read more
won't want to go back to the usual kettles. It is fast, economic and looks really quirkie and it's a Russell Hobbs. Do yourself and buy one! You will not be sorry! Harvey Norman has since discontinued this product buy check on-line and you will find it.
Quiet, fast kettle that makes the tea when you forget! – I found this kettle when researching for a quiet kettle. It is absolutely that - but it's the convenience that surprises and delights. I have only had this a week, but can't rate it highly enough. If you are like me and constantly boil then kettle, become distracted and boil again this is for you. You only have to remember to get it going and… Read more
the boiled water pours straight into your cup. You might have to re-heat your tea if you've forgotten about it - but at least it's made and well brewed! For a large mug, the water boils in just over 1 minute. I got straight online and ordered another for my parents.
Still going strong – I've had this little kettle for more than three years and it's still going strong. After wrist damage I have trouble lifting kettles to fill and pour. No longer! Just fill the mug and tip it in. I love it. Great for living independently and I agree with other reviews that it's quicker to make two individual cups than waiting for a big kettle… Read more
to boil. And its fun to organise the milk and coffee into the cup while you are waiting (well, there really isn't any waiting anymore, just streamlined efficiency, ahhhh). Energy efficient and no lifting heavy kettles Nothing that outweighs the pros.
Best appliance ever! – I've had my kettle for nearly two years and just love it - I never use my old kettle and rarely use my tea-maker. When I have visitors, I just make one at a time, its still quicker than boiling a kettle. It sits between my sink and my teabags. I fill my cup with water, tip it in, push the button and by the time I get my teabag in, its boiled! … Read more
My only regret is that I cannot seem to find another one to buy. Everybody who visits me wants one, and in my small office, I'd love to have one. Inexpensive, energy efficient, compact
WOOHOO – Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou hubby!!!!!!!! And Rssell Hobbs!!!!! I actually laughed when my husband told me hed ordered me 1 cup Anything!!!! I said "ohhhhh wow thanks hun but what on earth would I do with it?" He said "trust me you will love it!" Well, now I actually can be bothered making myself one and its fast, I put the water in and by the… Read more
time ive spooned my coffee n sugar in (or opened and put in my tbag in), its full of boiling boiling hot water and I just LOVE IT!!!!! He bought one for my mum too and she loves not ifting a heavy kettle at 70yrs old. My neck is grateful too. Buy one for each of the woman in your life xx fast, light weight and ever so cute as well as incredibly boiling NOTHING
Great little machine – Since buying my Russell Hobbs Eco One Cup I have not used my heavy kettle to make my coffees. This is a great little machine which takes up less space on my small bench top. Quick and easy to use, I use it to make cup a soup, tea and ciffees. My friends want one too. Quick to heat up and dispense boiling water. Some tines a hassle when you have 2 or 3 visitors.
Fantastic! – Pours automatically onto whatever I put in mug, so it's ready to drink. No heavy kettle to lift, so doesn't affect my arthritis. Boils in seconds, wish I'd been able to buy it years ago. Looks good and get a lot of comments when friends see it. Excellent buy, so very happy customer. Really saves electricitty. Quick and easy, perfect results. Nothing - only improvement if possible would be stainless steel inside.
