Morphy Richards Equip Jug Kettle, 1.7L, 3Kw Rapid boil, Removeable Limescale Filter, Easy View Water Gauge, Brushed Stainless Steel Case, 102786

Buy it ! well made, relatively quiet and quick to boil. Looks good and has delt with our using it very heavily for 3 weeks to boil water for washing up, after our boiler packed up. Still going strong, long after it’s been retired from providing our main source of hot water !

The only kettle you should get is this one. I hardly ever leave reviews, but this kettle served me for years without breaking. I only changed it because the inner filter broke and limescale started pouring into my coffee. This time I bought the red one, and I have to say it looks metallic, whereas the cream colour looks much more elegant. As I said, if it weren’t for the limescale, I would never have changed it, even after having it for years. It is a bit loud, but it boils quickly and pours perfectly — I’m so glad with it. Forget other kettles out there. I’m only writing this to help you with your purchase because it took me a while to find the right kettle.

A decent kettle for the price. It has a good water capacity at 1.7L and it's stainless steel rather than plastic. The upside of that means that the water tends to retain heat for longer than it does in a plastic kettle. On the flip side, the outside of the kettle gets extremely hot after boiling though this does not affect the handle, but it's something to be aware of if you have young children around. Not that they should be anywhere near a boiled kettle anyway. It boils quickly enough but I wouldn't say it's any quicker than any other mid-price kettle and it's pretty noisy in doing it. The lid releases with a button at the top of the handle but it doesn't go up quite as far as I'd like - only to about 60° so quite a bit short of vertical which might make filling awkward on some sinks/taps? There's a water gauge on the left side. It would be better if it had one on each side as I'm left-handed so when I put the kettle on the base, the gauge is to the wall and I have to turn it 180° to see. All in all though, minor niggles. Good kettle.

Very good kettle, however it is probably the noisiest we have ever had . Still, works ok so not complaining

I purchased the Morphy Richards Equip Black Jug Kettle (1.7L, Rapid Boil, Limescale Filter - 102783) and overall, I am quite pleased with it. The kettle is of fantastic quality and feels very well made. The sleek black finish looks great on my kitchen counter and adds a touch of modern elegance. The rapid boil feature is a real time-saver, especially in the mornings when every minute counts. The limescale filter is a welcome addition, as it helps keep the water clean and the kettle functioning efficiently. The packaging was secure, and the delivery was swift, ensuring the kettle arrived in perfect condition. However, there are a few drawbacks. The black powder coating, while lovely, appears to be quite thin. It can chip easily if you're not careful. Additionally, I’ve noticed that any water splashes that cook against the exterior leave a white residue, which is impossible to wipe off. It almost seems like the water splashes get burnt onto the surface. This is a bit disappointing given the price of the kettle. Despite these minor issues, if you wipe any accidental splashes before boiling, you won’t have this problem. The kettle is not cheap, but its performance and stylish appearance make it a worthwhile investment. If you’re careful with it, you’ll likely be very satisfied with your purchase. Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope that you found it helpful and that it assists you in your decision-making. I try to be as honest and fair as possible, as those have always been the reviews that helped me the most.

A very good looking kettle with a good fast boil. As others have said it is a bit noisy but as it is quick it is not a problem.

Generally a good item. Good construction for the price. However one drawback is that it is noisy when boiling.

Good looking and inexpensive and easier to fill than most. A wee bit noisy but you soon get used to it.
