Lakeland Brushed Stainless Steel Jug Kettle

This review is for an older version of this product

I wrote a review a while back when I had taken my kettle back because the lid had sheared off at the hinge - I regret to say that after taking my 5th kettle back I have now got a refund and given up with this kettle. Such a shame but thank goodness for the refund policy offered by Lakeland.

This is a lovely kettle, and ticked all the boxes for me, but sadly we had to return it as the lid broke within a few weeks. We exchanged it for another, and today after only a few weeks we had to return the second one, with the same problem. I feel this kettle has an inherent problem. This time we decided on a refund and bought a different kettle elsewhere.

At 73, I've owned a few kettles. Never found a hinged lid kettle lasted. Some 18 months ago, I replaced yet another malfunctioning kettle with the Lakeland Kettle. Its marvelous. Not a sign of weakness. Works just great and wasnt expensive either!! So I'm just lucky, is that it?

I wish I had read the reviews before buying the kettle. The lid will not stay closed which is a serious defect. This occured shortly after purchase and has not improved. Lakeland have refunded my money and I'm buying a new kettle elsewhere.

Lovely kettle, boils quickly and quietly BUT am now having to return a SECOND one as the plastic lid mechanism has shattered once again. First kettle lasted 4 weeks, second lasted 6 weeks.
