Its not particularly quick to boil, taking two minutes 35 seconds to boil a litre of water, but the automatic cut-off is prompt, and this model has excellent energy efficiency”. Id disagree with the “heavy” comment but otherwise it feels like a quality product and we like it a lot

Morphy Richards Traditional Kettle Burgundy
My personal experience of this kettle is a good one. It boils rapidly, is very quiet (especially if you switch off the optional whistle), pours well and also looks nice.
