General Comments

Bought a Russell Hobbs thermal kettle a fortnight ago & am disappointed. Was captured by the energy saving aspect of it & that the inside chamber would be very easy to keep limescale free as looks like the inside of a flask (and also fact I got it half price...hmmm). But found that due to it refusing to reboil straight after boiling because of the kettle being too hot, I had to rinse it out several times with cold water to cool it down, hence wasting unneccesary water... Topped with the fact that nearly every cup of tea/coffee, food made with it or boiled in it had a nasty metallic taste! Also very heavy when only quarter full & slow to pour. So will be returning very soon!
