Whereas before you needed to wait dozens of minutes to get that water to boiling point, with the Russell Hobbs kettle you can get the same results within a matter of minutes. Don't keep wasting your time with longer waiting periods or having to go back when you heard the kettle whistle just to turn off the stove. With this electric kettle you can set it to boil and be relaxed it won't burn away thanks to its auto-shutdown feature once the water begins to boil. With a capacity to hold 1.7 litres of water and 3000 watts in power, you know you'll have plenty of water ready for that coffee, tea, instant noodles or any other meal or drink you're preparing that needs hot water as part of the preparation process.
