Dualit Lite Kettle - 1.5L Jug Kettle - Polished with Cream Trim, High Gloss Finish - Fast Boiling - 72012

There's nothing to dislike about the Dualit kettles in my personal opinion. I just bought the cream one to replace my red Dualit kettle that lasted for around 14 years. They're sturdy, and very elegant, and very reliable. And, there was a massive bonus to this purchase too, because my first Dualit kettle cost me around £160, this new one, exactly the same, just a different color, was half the price, £80, so I'm a very happy bunny. Someone said that it's hard to clean; definitely Not So! All you need to do is to fill it with half water, and half white vinegar, bring to the boil, let it cool, pour out and rinse; job done. I live in a hard water area, and way out in the sticks, and the tap water tastes like gritty soil, and often looks like it; so I have always used bottle water, and made sure that the bottled water comes from a soft water area. It does help, but these Dualit kettles are made to last. I would definitely Highly Recommend Dualit kettles, they truly are long lasting and sturdy.

Fortunately I managed to purchase this Almond coloured Dualit kettle to replace my previous one which also matches my Dualit toaster. It’s a lovely kettle which boils very quickly. Because of the melamine the handle and base don’t get hot so it’s easy to lift even when full of water for anyone like me who suffers from arthritis. I love the look of this kettle and would highly recommend it. It’s on the pricey side but if it lasts as long as my other did it will be worth it.

We purchased this Dualit kettle to replace our previous identical one. We bought the previous one a little over 5 years ago so to be honest I was a little disappointed it needed replacement. The element failed and isn't reparable. However we have stuck with the same kettle this time around as we have the matching toaster and it is a very good kettle in use. The design has been updated a little so you have litre markings on one window and cups on the other along with a couple of minor cosmetic changes. We'll just have to wait and see how long it lasts!

This is my third Dualit kettle - my previous two both developed a problem with the on/off switch (after much use) - the switch is the only downside to this kettle as it is a bit flimsy compared to the rest of the kettle but I still love it and would recommend as it is very stylish, nice to use and quick boiling

Great kettle, efficient and looks good. V pleased. The only thing I would add is there is no light in the cup level measure so trying to see the water level is difficult through the tinted glass. Needs a light like most kettles.

I have always bought Bosch, Kenwood etc kettles off the supermarket shelves. When my Bosch kettle started leaking at the water gauge I thought I would treat myself to something more stylish. The dualit has not disappointed. The lid was a little stiff to open but it is explained how to remedy in the instructions. I love this kettle and feel it's worth the price tag.

Had 2 Dualit Kettles and both lasted 2 years each and cost £80 each. Has a common fault of not staying switched on and won't boil. Have to press on button repeatedly. If you check other sites it seems to be a common fault. Dualit offer a replacement for 34% off but who wants to buy a £60 kettle that lasts 2 years?

Opening the lid requires some effort and the lid knob is sharp where it has not been finished properly. Expect more when paying this much for a kettle. Update: after 18 months it fails to automatically switch off and just continues boiling until manually switched off!
