Smith + Nobel HKT900-BK

Had to replace – It's not that old. 12 months if that. I actually purchased the same kettle as a replacement but the rose gold trim is so tacky. Who came up with that. I thought it was plane white. Too difficult to take back so unfortunately had to keep it. Very tacky. Show details

Would not recommend – Brought smith + nobel kettle used it just 15 months and now not working light still comes on when pressed down but faintly but doesn't boil, very disappointed only 12 month warranty so just out of warranty won't buy again Show details

Once Bitten.... twice shy.... avoid – I have written a previous review of this kettle - see below. The store I purchased it from happily provided a new replacement. Unfortunately two years after having this replacement, the same leaking problem that happened with the first kettle occurred. I woke up one morning to wet benchtop and some water on the floor, the kettle had leaked… Read more

itself empty overnight. I cannot find any hole or crack, so appears to be a fault of this particular manufactured kettle. With this in mind, the fact that product leaks onto its electrical charging pad (thankfully switched off overnight) and the original purchase price, I cannot recommend this kettle at all. I will be making a complaint about its nature to ACCC for consideration of a recall.

Back to a trusty "back up" $7 kettle bought from Target a decade ago until I get a worthy replacement :)

All good till it started leaking – We have had this kettle less than 6 months and it has started leaking out of the screw that attaches the water measurer. As another reviewer has stated - water and electricity not a great combo. Since the kettle was bought while moving house I did not do my usual due diligence re squirreling away the receipt and warranty so cannot return. Will not… Read more

be buying this brand again though as not good enough for the money paid - would prefer to spend a little more and get something that is reliable.

Steam burn – Probably the worst designed kettle ever, handle gets in the way of the tap when trying to fill it, doesn’t seem to hold much water, and the worst is when pouring the steam leaks out the lid and burns your hands “ Be aware dangerous “ the only good thing is it looks good, but that is where it ends  Show details

Disapointing – 2nd use. The light at on and off switch stopped working This was a replacement kettle. 1st enamel kettle, the enamel chipped away after a month. Working ok now Like the shape and design. Also. Easy fill from the spout Nothing more To say other than the p rice was competative.  Show details

Broke like all there other appliances – Stopped working after the 5th day. Couldnt even return it. So over buying these products and they just go faulty after a couple of weeks. Better of buying a brand that you know . . . . . . .  Show details

Expected better – Had the kettle for a few days and a white powdery substance appeared around the chrome at the base. We returned it to the place where we purchased it and they wiped it off and said it happens due to the heat produced. The kettle is still producing this white substance.  Show details

Great kettle, quiet & boils as it should – This kettle had a blue led light at the switch to tell you it’s on. The kettle has a clean, polished & professional finish. The handle is plastic so you dont burn your hand. The spout filter is metal so it won’t change the taste of the water as some plastic filters do. The removable base allows you to store and use the right amount of power cable depending how far away your PowerPoint is. Overall a really good kettle. It looks smart.
