However I have had mine over two years. SMEG replaced it once as it started producing a burning smell from underneath. The clean, rounded style of Smeg appliances is simply iconic, adding a chic and classic look to any British kitchen. In addition to timeless style, these appliances are built to last, and with care you shouldn't need to replace them too often. Made from stainless steel, this kettle will be able to handle daily brews for years to come. Functional Beauty I was actually considering Smeg for a new hob and oven for the kitchen. Will definitely be avoiding the SMEG brand in the future.

They were kind enough to offer me another at half price. WHY IN GODS NAME would I spend more money on a kettle with an expected life of 9 months. For a kettle which is one of the most expensive on the market I would have expected more. Housed within a curvaceous stainless steel structure, the Smeg kettle reflects both interior and exterior beauty. Its 3kW concealed heating element and removable stainless steel limescale filter reduces the risk of limescale build-up forming and affecting the unrivalled performance. The 1.7 litre capacity provides the space for preparing up to 7 cups of boiled water, with a soft opening lid to assist with a simple refill. Keep a clear view to the contents inside with the water level indicator window, while the intelligent automatic shut off stops operation at 100C. The 360 swivel base features anti-slip feet to secure stability on the kitchen surface. The stainless steel structures are wrapped in a retro inspired cream coating, for a combination of durable materials and timeless design.
