I have a bad experience using a kettle by SMEG. Due to the bad taste and smell we were unable to use the kettle. This is a shame for a company like SMEG.
Sorry to hear about your experience. We did find that it took a few more boils than usual with a new kettle to get rid of that smell (which is due to chemicals applied to keep the kettle undamaged during transit), but it did get there eventually.
Great sales promotion advert. However you need to add on that the lid on this small Smeg kettle produces endless issues for users once purchased. From annoying top lid button sticking issue to even worse the outer lid comes away from the inner grey plastic portion of the lid. many people say as i do these kettles are not fit for purpose. We are not heavy handed people and once the inner grey section of lid lodges inside the kettle carcass its impossible to get it out due to being a sealed unit so have to throw away the item. After less than a year since purchasing we are having to but another brand kettle that is fit for purpose. Cute pretty on the eye and stylish - but please ppl do NOT buy one.
At last, a straightforward review tells me everything I wanted to know about this mini kettle, without the waffle. Thank you🙏
How long does it take to boil the max level of watter?
good review, very helpful!
Glad you think so!
Is the base plastic 😊
