Customer Reviews

Delonghi Metropolis Kettle
I have just bought the kettle from you and have been using it for a few days. I don't usually bother writing these reviews, but I am SO disappointed with it that I would like to let other people know my thoughts. I wish I'd read the other reviews before buying!
It is NOISY!
The handle is too smooth, therefore slippery.
The fill gauge is almost impossible to see.
The on switch is horrid plastic.
It is heavy even when nearly empty.
The lid is not easy to lift off for filling.
The only positive is that it looks good.
Why bother, I'd rather have an ugly one....

Worst Kettle I've Ever Owned
The only good thing about this kettle is it's lovely retro look. Everything else about it is awful in my opinion. I have to agree with other people that there is a definate odd taste to water from this kettle. The gun metal grey finish chips off very easily and soon makes the kettle look very tatty. The 'metal' lid, handle and switch are just shiny plastic and look very tacky. The kettle is very heavy and the lid is very hard to remove and replace. The tiny handle on the lid is very flimsy and is just connected with one tiny screw which manages to work it's way loose at least once a week. If you buy this kettle keep a screwdriver handy as you will need to keep tightening the handle. I also bought the matching toaster and that's been fine, but once again has that very tacky shiny 'metal' look to it.
