Russell Hobbs 21671-70 Retro Jug Kettle: What’s good about it?
The Russell Hobbs 21671-70 Retro Jug Kettle is a relaxed retro-style electric kettle. It comes in black, red, and cream to fit different colours of your kitchen.
The retro style is engaging – the ring lid and square handle. The gauge is old-fashioned, unique, and matches the kettle’s look. It is the first time we have seen something like it. Of course! Visitors will want to talk about it.
The 360-degree base turns all around, so it works for both left and right-handed people. It makes it easy to put in your kitchen.
Russell Hobbs 21671-70 Retro Jug Kettle: What could be better?
We love this kettle – not just because it looks fantastic, but because you know whether it has boiled or not! Unfortunately! The handle is unergonomic, weighing and stressing a lot on the wrist. It looks great, but we had frequent fingerprints/stains throughout the chrome area during testing. Russell Hobbs has used a thin paint coat on this kettle, which can respond to high heat in a month.

Overall, the Russell Hobbs Retro Kettle mixes modern and retro themes.

You can take out the filter if you need to. And it’s made by Russell Hobbs, which makes it even more trustworthy. We give it 4.5 out of 5 stars.
