The spout has been specially designed with a balanced weight to deliver a comfortable, easy pour. The elegant soft-opening lid not only looks beautiful but also allows for easy filling and ensures that any condensation runs back into the kettle. With a 3000 W power output, the kettle provides superfast boiling with an automatic switch-off at 100C for added peace of mind. Cleaning is made easy thanks to a removable limescale filter in the spout, and a concealed element in the base improves energy efficiency whilst also limiting any impurities such as limescale from reaching your cup. The 360 swivel base means that the kettle can be placed anywhere in the kitchen, and the built-in 1-meter cable tidy helps keep your countertop clear. The anti-slip feet will ensure that the kettle stays firmly in place no matter the task. The kettle powers on but has minor water marks inside from previous use; these do not affect functionality.
