Overall, it's a good quality product that served me well so far.
The kettle heats up quickly, automatically shuts off when water starts to boil. The transparent water indicators are great, you can see right away how much water there's inside without having to open it. The capacity is 1.5 L, good enough for a small family like mine.
The price was much higher than other comparable kettles, but it was listed as "Origin: United Kingdom", so I assumed it was justified by fine English craftsmanship. Wrong, the product is actually made in China.
I contacted the store and pointed out the error in the product origin description. I was told that the parts are made in China, yet the product is assembled in the United Kingdom.
I found it rather interesting that all parts carried the same serial number and "Made in China" sticker, which could only be attached at the time of the assembly. I pointed this fact out to the customer service...Read more

My Kettle is now not working after 4 months!!,

I am from Scotland and hence drink a lot of tea, so I thought the Dualit would be the perfect kettle for me.
While working the kettle was quick to heat up, poured very nicely and looked great on my kitchen countertop. The only thing I didn't like is that it was hard to fill. At this point I would have awarded 4 stars.
However after only 4 short months of use, the kettle is no longer working. This is pretty disappointing workmanship for what is an expensive kettle.

I would actually give this 4.5 stars due only to the price (but they don't give us that option)
After much searching and comparison shopping, I decided on this model. My husband and I have been VERY pleased, indeed. Because of its ease of use, we've begun to drink many more hot beverages than we did before.
Things I love about this model:
1. It's not plastic. I don't trust these "heat safe" plastics. There's still a chance that the chemicals may leach into your water. I'd rather avoid that possibility.
2. It's really, really fast! Usually, I heat about 16-24 oz at a time and it really takes only about a minute or possibly two for that to heat up to a nice rolling boil. Some have complained about the noise, but I don't find it to be noisy at all, just a nice sound that lets you know it's working. Afterall, it's just the water as it's superheated and begins to move. Then there's the gentle click as the steam goes down the tube and shuts off the...Read more
