My kettle has developed a large crack at the top of the handle after just 6 months which means it is unsafe for use. Lid does not open very well either, incredibly disappointed as also bought with the toaster and that cooks unevenly and slowly. A very expensive mistake.

Not as great as I expected from SMEG. Actually seemed a little cheap and tinny, lid doesn’t always open first time and I thought it would be quieter when boiling.

Looks great, boils well. Only reason for reading the stats is the lid is sticky, which should not happen on a high end product. Generally I’m a Smeg fan. Love the retro.

I love this kettle so much I purchased it twice! over three years in and I managed to break the lid hinge. Without a second though I purchased another, Smeg make great quality products with a real feel for style and as such enhance any kitchen!

Great kettle. Looks good, very robust, defo recommend.

Really good kettle can’t fault it!! Only problem is when delivered the box says what it is and was just left outside the door so was easily seen

A good kettle, slowish in coming to the boil and a little heavy - otherwise -- NICE

Kettle itself is well made and obviously boils water as it should. The base unfortunately feels cheap, almost like it’s from a much cheaper model.
