De'Longhi Icona Micalite KBOM3001BK Kettle - Black

Works perfectly for over a year now. Boils quickly and handles our very hard water well. The filter does a great job keeping scale out, so no bits in our tea. Highly reliable and efficient.

this absolutely beautiful kettle is a masterpiece of architecture and design. Every time guests visit my home, I have no shortage of compliments towards my kettle. it can create a fantastic cup of tea incredibly quickly. Overall 10 out of 10.

I ordered this kettle from Amazon because it was a lot cheaper than in local shops. Delivery took a while because they were out of stock but I waited because of the competitive price. I have now used it for a couple of days. With workmen in the house, it has been used rather a lot in that time. It boils very quickly, looks smart and a bit special on the worktop and seems stable on its base. Metal kettles do feel hotter than plastic ones and it would have to be treated with care with children around, but then so would any other kettle. The flex is a good length, not too long, not too short. The only drawback I have found it that if you don't put the lid on properly, it can fall into the kettle - and it difficult to get out again. However, in general I am very pleased.

This is such a beautiful kettle I really do want to sit and watch it boil! It boils quickly. It has a lovely gentle purring noise as well. My video makes it sound louder than it is. The spout is narrower at the end than my last kettle so you can really direct the flow of the water when you pour. It is really gleaming and looks robust. The red is so shiny you can see your reflection in it. Lid glides off easily. Best kettle I’ve had and worth the money. Everyone admires it! I looked at another review about the lid falling in and this is not true for mine. I could not force the lid down if I tried. It must have been updated. Empty mine weighs about 920g.

second one bought, first one lasted 16 years

Great design and effective

I had this kettle some years ago and the quality and performance were outstanding, however, this recent purchase is a great disappointment. The metal is thin and light, no quality to it, and it’s extremely loud when boiling. The base is too light and doesn’t sit flat. All in, a cheaply made kettle that isn’t worth consideration let alone purchasing.

La prise électrique était pour la norme Angleterre/États-Unis. Et elle ne passe pas en Europe. J'étais obligé d'acheter une prise électrique pour le changer. Pour cette prix-là, je trouve que c'est pas très raisonnable.

Love this product I have been looking for a while now and it's cheaper on Amazon!
