Russell Hobbs Quiet Kettle RHK26330

Rip off, not a quiet kettle, useless. Do not waste your money

Great kettle, pours great….. but louder than a Boeing 747 on take off. Show details

We bought this kettle because of the quiet boil label, it's not quiet at all. I can't use it if I am on the phone, listening to the radio etc. False advertising Show details

I purchased this based on the recommendation of Choice, who noted that it was “Quiet”. It’s false advertising as the noise is enough to drown out the television. If this is their quiet model, heaven forbid the noise of their other kettles. Show details

Good functioning kettle, looks nice on the bench and pours well , however we brought it specifically for the quiet factor- it is possibly the noisiest kettle I’ve ever used . Do NOT buy if you are looking to buy something quiet , feeling quite disappointed . Show details

After months of research I bought this kettle, hoping that it would be at least a little quieter than other kettles. I took it home, fired it up and guess what - IT IS NO QUIETER THAN ANY OTHER KETTLE! My existing $15 Big W Contempo kettle was the same noise level, and possibly even slightly quieter (I don't have a decibel meter to test exactly,… Read more

so just judging by ear).

I know what a quiet kettle can be, as I have seen some in Asia. At this point I will probably try importing one of those. As for Russell Hobbs, after this debacle, I won't trust any of their claims from now on. Fortunately, Good Guys gave me a refund so thumbs up to them for doing the right thing by the customer.

I wish Id read these reviews before buying this 'quiet' kettle. Its anything but. Like others, I need to turn up the TV volume when using it. Very disappointing. If you want a quiet kettle, this is not for you. Show details

Is it possible to give zero stars? This could possibly be the LOUDEST kettle I’ve ever owned. It was quiet for its first use then since the second use it is loud enough to wake my sleeping children in the morning. Absolutely do not purchase this kettle.

I only purchased this kettle as it was meant to be “quiet” This thing sounds like a jet engine. Probably the worst purchase I have made solely based off false advertising. I feel scammed. Should be advertised as worlds loudest kettle Show details

It doesn't beep when the kettle is boiled. That's the only thing quiet about it. The actual boiling is louder than any kettle I can remember. So much so it is hard to have a conversation with someone at the same time. DO NOT BUY THIS if you are looking for a quiet kettle. I'm not sure what they are claiming is quiet. Show details

This kettle is anything but quiet. Much louder than our old Breville that did not have Quiet technology. Very disappointed. Show details

No! Not a quiet kettle by any stretch of the imagination. Louder, in fact, than most. Yes, it does boil water reasonably efficiently, but it makes a high pitched noise interspersed with alarming crackling sounds while doing so. How Russell Hobbs can claim this is a quiet kettle is astounding. They seem intent on ruining their reputation in the quest for sales. Shame on them! Show details

I bought this kettle as it is advertised as quiet. Also I thought a Russell Hobs kettle is a good brand. I must say it is a good price, however quiet it is not. My old cheap Sunbeam kettle which I had for 7 years was so much quieter than this. It is laughable how loud it is. Though must say I like the look of it. Show details

This kettle is sold as a QUIET KETTLE manufacturers claim. We purchased it for this reason alone Let me tell you it is NOT I repeat NOT quiet at all. I can't comment on any further attributes just fair to say it's poorly advertised. Show details

Bought it soley on the "Quiet" aspect. As advertised, it was a lot quieter than our previous stainless steel kettle. Boils reasonably fast. Easy to read water level indicator. The outside does get hot which is not surprising given it's a kettle. The chord is only about one metre, but this was ample for our kitchen. Show details

This kettle is not quiet. It boils quickly and it takes up little room on the bench. After using it for a week, I've gone back to the old Kmart plastic kettle. Much quieter. Show details

Previously had a a Russell Hobbs kettle for over 20 years so when needing to update only looked for that brand again. Bought the quiet one and am very happy with it. Show details

Loudest kettle I've ever owned. Even 1 we use on the gas stove is quieter. Very nice kettle though. Lights are very cool, pour's nice. Sits very streamline on the base. Show details

Best Quiet Kettle – After having several kettles over the years I thought it wasn’t possible to find a quiet one . Some were very good brands but one sounded like it was cooking popcorn with the popping sound it was making while boiling the water . Saw the Russel Hobbs one advertised as a Quiet one so decided to give it a try . True to its word it is quiet when… Read more

boiling water . Google for the best price . I bought mine just after Christmas on Amazon and so far so good

This is ridiculous – First kettle leaked booking water from the water level window; second kettle stopped being quiet within months. It is now noisier than a normal kettle that doesn't call itself 'quiet'. Cannot have a conversation in the same room, can't hear the TV in the next room, wakes everyone in the household up despite them being very hard of hearing. After… Read more

leaving an honest review on a different site, was advised by a RH representative to get in touch via email, which I did. The person who replied could not have cared less. I was offered a replacement & I explained that I needed a quiet kettle. The person said "we don't have any other kettles with 'quiet' in the title" - so basically she searched for "quiet" and left it at that. I did my own research and found another RH kettle that claimed to be quiet, which she should have offered. On reading the reviews, that one is also massively faulty. So that was the end of the help I was promised. This morning I have a third fault - when pouring the boiling water, steam went up my sleeve! Seems to be escaping from under the handle, near the on/off switch as there was condensation all around the area. This is ridiculous.

Perfect quiet kettle – Exactly what we wanted. Very quiet and blue light when on Show details

Not a very quiet kettle! – This kettle is very LOUD. When I boil the kettle I have to turn the television volume up because the television can't be heard. During the night we can't make cuppas because the boil on the kettle wakes everybody up. On the box it says quiet boil, IT ISNT. Do not buy this product. It also says easy to pour on the box. It is NOT easy to pour and is… Read more

infact quite heavy, I have ankylosing spondylitis and everything that was on the box is completely misleading.

Russell Hobbs Quiet Kettle – We have open plan living & how annoying is a LOUD kettle. This is the quietest kettle I have ever owned. It’s quick efficient & a bargain at $50. Show details
