Over the decades, Russell Hobbs has been at the forefront of quenching our national thirst for hot beverages with fast, easy to use, nice looking kettles. During this time Russell Hobbs can lay claim to many firsts – the first cordless kettle, the first base with 360 degree rotation, the first rapid boil kettle, automatic switch off, and so on.

For over 50 years Russell Hobbs has been at the heart of the Great British Cuppa.

We have always tested our kettles extensively, we life test them with some of the best kettle testing facilities in the world and Russell Hobbs remains the leading kettle brand in Great Britain and has a range of kettles to suit every pocket.

So as a nation of tea (and instant coffee) drinkers, what features should you be looking for when choosing a kettle?
