Haden Dorchester Temperature Control Kettle – 1.7L Digital LCD Display - 3000W Fast Boil Cordless 360 Base BPA-Free and Easy to Clean

This is such a good looking kettle from the brand of Haden which I have used across the years for small kitchen appliances because they are always very reliable and well thought through and manufactured. My kettles always need to be kitchen work horses and although I prefer substance over style, this has both. This kettle is no exception to my likes. At 3000w it boils very quickly and looks stylish, being a cool mint green in colour with faux wood trim. It has the additional feature of varying temperature controls and has a capacity of 1.7 litres making it a good buy for a family or someone who likes lots of tea and coffee or has a reason for needing to heat lots of water. It is also a sensible and kind touch to have included a second replacement filter, as these tend to 'fur' up quite quickly and are relatively flimsy, so this was appreciated very much. Very pleased with my buy.

Absolutely fantastic, love this kettle. Sleek, vintage inspired but still modern. Can control temperature to boil, keep water warm and it shows the litre and number of cups it makes! Definitely worth my money as it ticks all my boxes to buy from Amazon, maybe a bit pricey from other place like Robert Dyas. Stable and not that heavy. It also has a removable filter for limescale.

Had this kettle for a few months now and still very pleased with it. I use it several times a day and it still works perfectly. Easy to clean as well. It's fast to boil water and the temperature control is very easy to use, I like how you can select the desired temperature in increments of 5 degrees Celsius. The only thing you should be very cautious about is the lid. Most electric water kettles have a button you push so the lid opens, but this kettle doesn't it which means you need to take the lid off when you need to refill it. This isn't a problem when the kettle has cooled off since the last usage, but is problematic when you need to boil it in succession. Because it's a metal lid and fitted quite tight on it, you need to use a cloth when you want to take it off when it's hot because else you'll burn your hands! The kettle itself also doesn't seem to have double insulation like most electric water kettles so make sure you grab the kettle by the handle after boiling and not by the body as that gets hot too. So, be mindful when you use it and be careful if you have kids who could accidentally hurt themselves. Otherwise, it's brilliant, especially for the price!

Nice kettle. Heats quicky and displays temp. Only slight issue is the lid can be hard to remove at times. Otherwise good reliable kettle.

I love my Haden kettle, I already had the matching sage green Haden microwave oven and the espresso machine so I knew to expect good quality and design at a realistic price. I previously had a Bosch variable temperature kettle for a few years but it started to leak and a new Bosch would cost twice as much. My new kettle looks good and performs well, I'm very happy with my purchase.

Notwithstanding the rather short longevity of this kettle here are my pros and cons: Pros 1. Temperature control is really handy I keep it set to 95 degrees which has not impaired the quality of my hot drinks and saves money. Also it prevents the earthquake effect (see cons) 2. It is compact and doesn't take up much room on my worktop. 3. Build quality is good with some reservations about the fake wood handle: see Cons. Cons 1. The first time I used it I was really quite scared.... as it's came to the boil it's shook so vigorously I seriously thought that there might be an earthquake. The kettle very nearly went straight back to Amazon at that point until I realised that setting it permanently to 95 degrees stopped this happening. 2. The kettle lid is VERY tight and you need to use both hands and some strength to get it off. 3. Buttons are too small and don't provide any feedback to tell you that you have pressed the correct one to turn the kettle on - the only feedback is a tiny change to the LCD display - see below. 4. Like many products it seems likely it has been designed by someone young enough not to need to wear glasses... the LCD display is illegible to me without my glasses and at first I would need to find them to use the kettle but but gradually my fingers have learnt where the buttons are so I don't need them unless I want to change the temperature. 5. I find the LCD crazily bright - it's quite dazzling and I need to shield my eyes if using it in low light. On the plus side it makes a handy night night in the kitchen helping me find thingd in the middle of the night. 6. If it were down to my partner the kettle would have gone straight back to Amazon as she really doesn't like the fake wood effect of the handle. 7. Failed after 18 months Overall I now wish I'd returned it when I had the chance.

This attractive little kettle feels a little on the flimsy side but mine is still going strong after four years of daily use. I'd happily buy this same model again. To respond to some of the 'cons' reported in other reviews: 1. The lid being too tight -- it really isn't. Just open it with a swivelling motion from the back towards the front, and keep it clean, and it's fine. 3. The button interface being hard to understand -- it really isn't. Spend one minute with the manual to get to know your kettle when it first arrives. If you're still confused afterwards, maybe the world of electrical appliances is not for you. 4. The LED display being hard to read -- it really isn't. If you're finding it hard to read, then you'll be finding everything hard to read. 5. The LED display being too bright -- OK, yes, it is surprisingly/annoyingly bright. It's become my kitchen's de facto nightlight. 6. The wood effect is ugly -- nah... well, it looks just like it does in the product photos above. If you don't like the photos, don't get the kettle. We (in my household) all like it. 7. Short life -- as stated above mine is still operating as new after four years, no leaks, no corrosion, no malfunction. The only 'con' I would add is that it doesn't go down to 50C or even 40C, which would be really useful for me. But I struggle to find any affordable kettle that does. So, all considered, very happy with this purchase.

Love this kettle! Sturdy build and beautiful colour, the temperature display and ability to set whichever temperature you want is a great touch. It boils so quickly - even when full to its large 1.7L capacity - and quietly too. This is a real upgrade from my old one, and excellent for the price.

Already ordered a second to replace another one. It's fast, it looks way better than in the pictures, it's not as loud and shaky as others say - I don't know what they hear and see. The temp function is outstanding. When you have low water, it will overheat a bit but with full pot, it heats quite to the spot (beeps earlier, then water still gets residual heat, perfect energy saving). Display is illuminated for some time then turns its light off. But shows actual temp all the time - so you know how warm your room is when you don't use it. Nice.

Really like how it looks, same temperature adjustment as kitchenaid at a much more reasonable price. Really does seem to boil faster than any other kettle I have used. Comes with a UK plug so make sure you have an adapter on hand, or someone to wire a local plug on.

The product is excellent. Easy to use and really fast in boiling water, the "keep warm" feature is very useful. Unfortunately it arrived with a small dent on the lid. Since the packaging was in perfect conditions, it did not happen during the transport. Otherwise I would have given 5 stars.

Very good kettle. Boils water so fast. It shows the water temperature when you pour it cold, and then climbsbup when boiling. I came back few min later and the display showed few degrees lower. Its great if you're preparing baby formula to ensure water is hot enough. Rose gold with silver and gray, kettle is so pretty and shiny looks very fancy.

Great kettle. Works brilliant
