Dualit CVJK13 Classic Kettle | Polished Stainless Steel with Copper Trim | Quiet boiling kettle | 90 Second Boil Time | 1.7 Litre Capacity, 3 KW | 72820

Bought to replace our older Dualit that we have had for ten years because whilst still working well it is looking tired and of course styles change. This one taps into the latest style of using copper for a bit of added retro look, which I rather like. There is a sort of 'industrial,' look about it that is a bit steam punk in its execution. In use it boils very fast and most noticeably - or rather not - very quietly. So much so that you have to be standing right by it to hear it. The lid is a bit stiff to open which I'm sure will ease over time but when it is open the top is clear for filling with an easily read level gauge down the side. If I do have a niggle then it is the manufacturing of this. It's not cheap for a kettle and yet whilst Dualit proudly brandishes the 'Designed and Engineered in Britian,' tag lines everywhere, the reality is that this is not made in the UK. It is made like most things overseas in some low labour cost country. And if this only cost twenty quid then fair enough but when you are forking out close on £120 then I fail to see how there isn't enough slack in that price to enable UK manufacturing to still allow a decent profit to be made. This is a real bugbear with me when 'traditional,' British companies play on their Britishness and charge accordingly yet are actually selling you stuff made in the Far East. Anyway, rant over, the actual product is well made, stylish and works very well. But pricey.

A beautiful stunningly designed kettle available in chrome with a different coloured metal strip at the base. I chose a copper stripe. The lid is attached easy to open. Fast boil. BPA FREE. Dualit's Whisper Boil very quiet. A lovely pourer no drips. A sturdy on/off switch. The kettle is a good weight & the base so will not get knocked over. A measure on both side of the kettle one side in litres the other in cups. I also bought a matching copper Dualit 4 slot toaster also available as a 2 slot excellent quality the best toast I have tasted

I've wanted one of these (and the matching toaster) for ages. Took the plunge and forked out for the most expensive kettle I've ever owned. Practically speaking, it performs as well as any other quality kettle. It's quite fast, quite quiet and safe to pick up whilst full of hot water, as the handle remains cool enough to touch. What sets this apart, for me at least, are the classic looks, the flask-like construction that keeps boiled water warm, and the accurate pour. You do however, need to tip the kettle quite far to get the water out. I hope and expect that this is the last kettle that I ever need to buy, and while I own it, I will smile whilst admiring my investment.

Overall a very nice kettle. I was able to purchase when it was on offer and I saved a fair amount. I do feel that the full price is too expensive given my concerns. The on off switch is plastic and if this fails (which others have reported) it costs £80 to repair this takes around two weeks and you have to pay for the return even if it’s within the one year warranty! Amazon as far as I’m aware replace within two years or if you’re paying full price I would consider another well known retailer that will provide a two year warranty. Water remains in the bottom of the kettle even if turned upside down and in hard water areas not ideal. I could see limescale even after a two weeks usage so I descaled it with vinegar and now use filtered water which has helped a lot. It’s not noticeable noisy but quiet is an overstatement, although, to be fair it’s better than other kettles. I think 3 1/2 stars

This kettle looks good and a few interesting features like – repairable heating element, quiet and able to boil small quantities of water. Experience: The quietest kettle that I have ever used. This is particularly convenient as I have an open plan kitchen and living room. Previously, life stopped for the kettle to boil. Boil small quantities of water enough for one mug. This is really convenient as it saves on the electricity as all the boiled water is used. Fast - it takes 45 seconds to boil the water for one mug (or 1 cup from the markings on the kettle). Drip free. No residue of water on the kitchen surface after pouring the boiling water. The handle is comfortable to carry the kettle and whilst pouring the water. Cordless – like all modern kettles. Sustainability. The heating element can be replaced. This is a unique point for a cordless kettle. It can be stiff to open the kettle lid. The lid has to be opened as to fill it with water. Dualit have designed an insulated handle so that it can be opened without having your fingers to touch the hot surface of the kettle. See photos. Would I recommend this kettle: Certainly. I love the design of the kettle. It looks so right for the purpose. This is pure emotion. The features of the kettle are really appropriate and useful. Would I buy this kettle again? Hopefully not as I would repair the heating element. Should I need another kettle, I would buy this model.

Great stylish kettle

Great quality, easy to clean, boils fast.

Das Gerät wurde schnell geliefert. Leider mit einem nicht passenden Stromanschluß. Statt für die deutsche Steckdose hat er einen englischen Stecker. Jetzt muss ich entweder basteln oder mit einem Adapter auskommen. Das trübt meinen Eindruck etwas, da es leider aus der Artikelbeschreibung nicht ersichtlich wurde.

Der Wasserkocher hat keinen EU Stecker und wird mit integriertem Adapter für die behinderste Steckdosenart der Welt geliefert (UK Stecker). Dadurch ist der Stecker viermal so groß wie nötig und dazu noch instabil. Ausserdem wird der Kocher von außen extrem heiß, auch nahe der vorgesehen Griffe.

I decided to buy this article over amazon.de to have an European plug and it comes with the UK plug. It's not mentioned anywhere! Could had both it 36 euros cheaper for the same product over amazon.co.uk and there I know for sure it came with the non European plug. This is second Dualit product I buy over amazon.de and the first one came with the right plug.

Le modéle reçu a une prise uk, pas à la norme française.... Ce n'est pas précisé dans la fiche technique.
