Russell Hobbs Calm glass kettle with light, sound and temperature control 1.7 l

★★★★★Stylish, Fast & the Temperature Control Is a Great Feature

I've been very happy with this kettle. It looks modern and elegant on the kitchen counter, and the glass design with the soft lighting gives it a premium feel. The water heats up quickly, and the adjustable temperature settings are incredibly useful. Whether I'm making tea, coffee, or warming water to a specific temperature to make formula for my baby, it's easy to choose the right setting instead of always boiling to 100°C. The keep-warm function is another feature I use regularly and saves me from having to reboil the water. The kettle feels sturdy, is easy to fill and pour, and has been reliable in daily use. Overall, it's a great combination of style, convenience, and functionality. I would definitely recommend it.

★★★★★Quiet and nice

We wanted a quiet kettle with temperature control. The noise level was important since our kitchen is close to our bedroom, so after a bunch of research our choice fell on Calm, not for the aesthetics but because people praised that it was quiet. The boiling noise is not loud at all, you can turn down or entirely mute the music (which we did). You can't completely mute the operating sounds like button pressing, starting or finishing a boil, but they are also not loud or intrusive like certain other makes, so it's fine. The colours look nice but you can't customise them – it shifts between different colours and when the boiling is done it turns white. Be aware that the base is quite large, about 24 cm, a bit larger than our old kettle, so you need space for it. The only things I could wish for (but which I don't think should affect the score): the possibility to mute all sound effects and a static colour instead of shifting colours. But overall we are very happy with our choice and can't really complain.

★★★★★Nice to have

I have had my eye on this kettle for a long time, and now I finally treated myself. Lovely look, bright colours and gentle music. The temperature is set in five-degree steps, and there are five different sounds. The music can be switched off if you like. I think the keep-warm function is great – you do not have to stand next to it and wait. Once the chosen temperature is reached the kettle holds it for 15 minutes. You should plan some space, though, as the base is a little larger than a normal kettle base.

★★★★★Very good kettle with a look that stands out

An original kettle. It was a gift and very well received. The music and light may seem like a gimmick, but beyond that the kettle works well, heats to the right temperature and keeps warm.
