Morrisons Basic Kettle £3.99

Hi all

I was in Morrisons (Sheffield, Hillsborough) the other day and noticed their basic brand kettle was only £3.99. This was a special offer not a mis-price. Normal price is £7.00ish.

Grabbed one for my son who's off to uni shortly. As he's likely to boil cheap noodles in the kettle I didn't think buying him an expensive one was a good idea.

Ideal for uni IMO.

Enjoy! :)
The atmosphere is currently filled with hypocrisy so thick that it could be sliced, wrapped, and sold in supermarkets for a decent price and labeled, 'Wholegrain Left-Wing, Middle-Class, Politically-Correct Organic Hypocrisy'.

  • boil noodles in a kettle!? classy!
  • I presume it is gas. Is it aluminium, like camping kettles are?

    I got a Morphy Richards stainless steel kettle which has panel on side which lights up when kettle is boiling, reduced to £14.98 last week in Morrisons, http://www.morphyrichards.co.uk/ProductDetail.aspx?Product=43731. The value one I saw at £3.99 was white and plastic.

    Why would anyone need a light to tell when a kettle's boiling?

    We had a Morrisons basic kettle in our office kitchen, it lasted about a month before it started smelling like burning plastic whenever you boil it and then another 2 weeks before it started leaking from the power socket part of the kettle.

    Personally I'd never buy one and wouldnt recommend them to anyone either (however cheap)
    Missing Tesco R&R since Feb '07 :A & now a "Tesco veteran" apparently! ;)

    Luck of the draw I think. I had a basic one that's still going strong. I had it for two years then gave it to a friend.
