CUISINARTJug Kettle, 3KW, Pebble, Stainless Steel, Matte Finish, 1.5L Capacity, CJK780WU

Next day delivery with prime so no complaints there. On opening the box I was disappointed to find a black lead and plug on a white appliance, can designers not think that you buy white because you want white all round. I could have changed the lead but when sitting on its base the kettle wobbled, not good as it was not a cheap item whether it done the same with water in I don’t know as never got that far. The lid was very noisy on closing and all in all quality was not up to my Livivo one in many ways and the Cuisinart was nearly twice the price. They say you get what you pay for, not in this case as both are similar in construction, I would get another Livivo if it came in white, and I would not buy Cuisinart as I’m put off with my first purchase.

Like other reviews i found the loose fitting lid to be an issue when boiling at maximum capacity causing some rattling & boiling overspill which isn't safe. See video. It needs a stronger spring & tighter seal on the lid. The positives are that it boils a full 1.5 litres of water in 3 mins 20 secs & the minimum 0.5 litres of water in 1 min 10 secs with an acceptable noise level, not too loud but not exactly quiet. Also useful is that its double walled with a stainless steel interior, however it has no removable filter instead there are drilled out holes which are too large to catch any detritus from hard water. Also the water gauge behind the handle is too difficult to see when filling from the tap. Why not locate it on the side? I bought it whilst on offer at £31.99 down from £55 which is way is overpriced seeing how the quality is not that good. I cannot comment on how long it will last as i returned it the next day. Overall id recommend a different kettle at the £30 price point.

... the power cord and plug were white.We bought the matching set of the kettle, toaster, and coffee machine.Only the coffee machine has a white power cord and plug.The kettle and toaster have blacks cords and plugs.Why?It looks ugly.

This kettle looked great and appeared to be what I was looking for however once unpacked and filled with water and plugged in I didn't feel that the kettle was sitting securely in the base. It wobbled although it was on a flat worktop. There was no cable caught underneath it. It just didn't sit flat and secure.I returned and received a refund.

Overall very good, but lid not tightly closed, causing steam to be released at boiling point delaying the automated switch off. Sturdy kettle, with stainless steel interior and cool touch plastic exterior.
