Russell Hobbs produce the Legacy kettle range, of traditional Pyramid  styled kettles, they look nice BUT… many complaints about quality especially the lid, the handles snap  off often, steam escapes readily and we  find them difficult to pour due to the styling.

Morphy Richards produce the Accents Pyramid, similar in looks to the Russell Hobbs legacy, it looks good and seems more robust with much higher positive reviews BUT…. We’ve had reports of peeling and fading paint and too many have started  leaking after a couple of years, the guarantee must be registered online  and is for only 2 years, Russell Hobbs guarantee is for 3 years.

Despite this both kettles are extremely popular and  hundreds of PainFree users have given positive feedback, so get one you like the looks, but a few of you will be disappointed.

Now the Russell Hobbs Special 60th Anniversary Legacy Kettle is how we think they should’ve made them in the first place, this is a decent bit of kit:

• 2400 watt 1.7 litre quick boil (1 cup in 45 seconds).
•  Rapid boil zone denoting 1, 2 and 3 cup options.
• Ergonomically designed easy carry / easy pour handle and drip free perfect pour spout

• Can fill through spout without removing lid.
