Depends if you want something functional or flash - this is more of the former! But quite a good deal for a rapid boil kettle with free delivery!

Other than that, try the high street - woolies or the big electricals will probably have some reasonably cheap kettles at this time of year.

Thanks for this thread - I'm also on the great kettle hunt this afternoon

We're replacing a Breville Lightning - it's lasted over 3 years which for us is a miracle.

Can't decide whether to get another one, splash out a bit more and get the deLonghi (already have the toaster from that range) or just get a functional Moulinex.

I'm swaying towards the Moulinex purely based on our current budget - but if it only lasts a year or so, as every other sub £30 kettle we've ever had has done, then it's a false economy.

Any recommendations as regards reliability?

Thanks navyguy - I did have a look, but the handle doesn't look like it'll be much good (hubby has arthritis and grip problems, so handles and centre of gravity are a major decision point).

We know the Breville is ok, and from the pictures suspect the others will be too.

We always go and track them down in Comet or somewhere and have a 'play' before we buy anyway though, so we'll keep a look out for it.

We went for the flash blue neon one from Sainsburys, excellent. It has a lovely blue glow so if you are wandering around in the idark in the small hours it is like a night light in the kitchen, very pretty

Who says kettles have to be just functional!
