Swan Retro Jug Kettle, Fast Boil, Easy Pour, 360 Degree Base, 1.5L, 3KW, Cream, SK19020CN

I don't know what some of the reviewers here have been doing with their kettles... reports of limescale on the outside; paint peeling off. I've had one of these for over a year now, and it is still looking like new. Just bought one for my mum and dad. It's a kettle and it does what a kettle does. It looks nice, it boils pretty quick too.

These kettles don't last long. I've gone through a few

Looks great but I think cheaply made So only ok quality

Fantastic retro design, very quick boiling, but a little noisy when in operation

*** UPDATED 30/07/2023*** So I have had this kettle about 5 months. I returned to Amazon for a refund today 30/07/2023. The reasons I returned the kettle are for the following reasons. The actual kettle doesn’t have enough paint, the paint fades and little yellow circles appear through to the metal. The handle is dyed, yes dyed a dark colour. This can not be wiped off, and it is rusting from the outside in. I looked after my kettle, the lid wouldn’t come off properly so I had no other option but to fill the kettle through the spout. Every time water seeped down the sides or spout it was wiped with a non lint cloth. We do live in a hard water area, however once a week used tablets for the inside to remove the lime scale. However the steam from the kettle corroded the lid tight and all around the spout. We tried everything, and bought everything to try and keep it looking nice. Nothing worked. The morning, when I was boiling the water up, the kettle was making sounds like snap crackle and pop, I could hear it at the top of my garden it was so loud. Also noticed the handle was getting very wobbly. It isn’t just the kettle in this blue colour, my microwave is the same, rusting from inside. Nowadays there just isn’t enough paint over the enamel, very cheaply made. Amazon customer services were great, issued me with a refund straight away, and kettle returned. People who have soft water might not have issues, however my issues isn’t about the water, it’s the noise, the handle loose, and the loud banging from it, and paint peeling off. Personally I would stay away from this make. I have just bought a Ninja Kettle which I wished I had bought in the first place. I have added extra images to show the state after a few months. Sadly my star value had to be changed from my initial review. …………………………………………………………………………………… …………….. Majority of appliances in my home are Swan as I find very reliable. I am a Vine reviewer on Amazon, however I bought this kettle, and my review as usual will be honest. I read a lot of reviews on Amazon prior to buying and one thing that always stood out was the paint chipping away from the kettle. I did write on the questions & answer part to ask was the chipping away of paint included in the warranty. I was asked by Swan should this happen to take photos to send them. I haven’t had the kettle long ( Feb 7th 2023) so at review 9 days), so far the kettle is still gorgeous. I have the light blue to go with my Swan Microwave equally perfect. As with most kettles they do soak up the electric, but I find I do not need to fill to the top, as a little gives me two mugs of hot tea or coffee. The kettle itself is lightweight, and even when full isn’t that bad, I am left hande so this kettle is good for us lefty’s. Boils very quick compared to my last one. The noise from this kettle is very loud, and I mean loud. Having said that, my other Russell Hobbs was very loud too. I do not mind the loudness, because I can hear it click off straight away. I would also like to mention, water. I live in a town/ area where hard water is a big problem. If you live in a hard water area, or want to help prevent the peeling of the colour, always think about wiping any water residue from the spout, lid and body of the kettle. Lime scale is not nice. I always write in my journal to de scale the kettle every 3-4 weeks to keep the element free of limescale and also prolongs the life of the kettle. The warranty from Swan is good, one year on buying, plus an extra year when registering your kettle, so two years all in all. In regards filling the kettle. The first time of using I took the lid off and filled, but found the lid fine, but a little sticky. I knew from trying to force the lid on and off, paint may chip, so decided to fill by the spout. The lid is fine, it’s just the newness of the lid, until it gets worn it. Spout filling is good, I love the shape of the spout, in fact the best I have seen and used. The spout is wide and fills cups and mugs very quickly. Again I wipe of water residue with a lint free cloth. The water taste, by this I mean when the kettle comes out of the box. All I did was fill up the kettle twice, boiled and emptied, then used. I have had no newness kettle taste at all. So all in all yes early days, but the kettle looks lovely in my kitchen, and now matches with my blue microwave in which I have had a while now. The lead is as long as you see in my images. I recommend the kettle, especially the light blue. ⭐️ Thank you to the seller + Swan ⭐️ I hope my review helps you.

Good kettle, easy to use, looks good, no problems with it.

Got this model as it matched our toaster. It does why it supposed to do but is very ‘plasticky’ in appearance eg the lid looks metal but is plastic and appears very flimsy. Noisy when boiling water too ( because it’s not very good quality ? ) but for the price it does why it says on the tin

Nice kettle Good price Nice color

Ordered this after being disappointed with a Daewoo kettle. This is so much better. Well built and boils quietly and pours really well. Worth the extra for a good brand

Es sammelt sich auch Kalk außerhalb des Gerätes, am Rande, und zwar nach ein paar Nutzung. Man muss pro Woche einmal den ganzen Wasserkocher entkalken, Es hat weiniger mit Leitungswasser zutun, Wir haben ja andere Geräte, die nicht so anfällig sind.

The kettle is of poor quality. When the water boils and you want to pour it out, it leaks from the bottom and you can see drops of water. The handle is covered with soft silicone, which started to peel off after four days.

Pas utilisée dans le mois suivant l achat, malgré un branchement dans plusieurs prises , elle ne fonctionne pas. Qualité visuelle « plastique ». Je ne recommande pas ce produit. J ai également acheté le grille pain, qualité médiocre

MOLTO BELLO E FUNZIONALE
