Manufacturer's Description
The larger capacity 1.7 litre cordless dome kettle offers a more traditional kettle shape and pouring action. The 3kw element boils quickly, whilst the large integal window allows you to boil no more than you need each time. The cordless operation allows for left or right hand use and the cord tidy keeps everything neat.

It is Dualits combination of proven engineering and state of the art technology that makes Dualit products so successful.

Customer Reviews

Not the quality I expected of Dualit
I purchased several Dualit products for my newly renovated kitchen as they look good and as they were expensive I thought I was buying quality items that would last a few years. The kettle spat boiling water some distance when poured and after 18 months blew my fuse board and stopped working. Dualit asked me to return the base which they reported as not having a fault (I guess this is the only bit they will replace). I was offered 25% off a new kettle purchased only from Dualit. I bought a much cheaper replacement which doesn't spit and boils alot quicker (Tefal Express) and would advise anyone to do the same. I was surprised to see that so many other people have had the same problem and can only conclude that Dualit is not the sort of quality for which I believed I was paying a premium for.

How 'GREEN' is a Dualit
My Dualit dome kettle recently failed. The element had gone. I thought I'd just telephone the company and organise a replacement element.
I was informed that the company that actually manufactured this kettle had gone into liquidation and so no elements or parts are available.
It is interesting to note that Dualit don't actually manufacture these items, presumably they just put their name on them.
So when you purchase a Dualit product - you don't know which company it originates from, or if that company will be around to provide parts?
I also learned that NO Dualit kettle can have the element replaced! (Not very 'green!') But, I guess these overpriced items are very profitable.

Design Faults and Dangerous - Avoid
I bought one of these and it literally blew up after three weeks, massive bang and fuised everything. I returned it and got a replacement. Within a month it started blowing fuses again. After several loud bangs and tripping fuses, strange crackling noises from the base which got hot, it stopped working completely. I discovered I am not alone, friends bought ther same kettle and had the same problem.
It looks great, but has serious design faults.
I have bought a Philips kettle!
