Dualit Architect Kettle | 1.5 Litre 2.3KW Stainless Steel Kettle with Canvas White Trim | Rapid Boil and Patented Pure Pour Non-Drip Spout | Measuring Window with Cup Level Indicators | CJK1

Brilliant item. Great pourer. Lid opens easily and cleans easily due to all metal construction. Always great quality as expected from Dualit. Noise level less than previous kettle so no issues. Looks great on work surface.

I already have Dualit products in my kitchen. I liked the look of this kettle. However I was unsure about the spout. I knew my daughter had a Dualit and she confirmed that she had the more expensive model which had the same spout and matched her toaster.She recommended me not to buy her model as I would not be able to remove the lid, having arthritis in my hands, but that this one would be ok as it has a press button opener. She said the spout was good as it was non-drip. Having used it for a few days I can confirm her advice was correct. The kettle fits my requirements perfectly. It is the excellent Dualit quality, easy to fill and does not drip, with a removable filter for easy cleaning. The cup size indicator is situated under the handle - which could be considered as awkward - but I have not found it a problem. It is sleek and looks well with my non-matching toasters. It does not have varied temperature controls for tea and coffee but I don’t find that an issue.It is a more expensive kettle but, if it turns out to be as good as my other Dualit products, I will be delighted and I would be happy to recommend..

Having spent a whole bunch of evenings doing research on kettles, and after owning my very own kettle which used an app but is now long extinct, I put my money into this Dualit design.I like certain designs of kitchenware that serve versatility, practicality and usefulness when in regular usage. So, a kettle being a simple smallish boiler of a sort needs imho to be able to withstand its own thermal cycles and be able to be handled safely and comfortably through your wash boil and fill cycle by the user. It needs to be free from risks of leaching out chemicals. Regardless of some manufacturer claims to the contrary.When it boils it needs to have a safe stable base and not wobble. Result here.Oh and I don’t use noise as a criteria for a kettle. Unless it rattles the windows which this does not, then I assume it makes a noise of boiling water. I do however like the quick boil aspect of kettle: this design gets the job done quickly and I would say pretty quietly. At least it doesn’t have some crazed annoying beep at the end of the heating cycle that can’t be switched off that would annoy far more folks I suspect. And I don’t have to plug this into a router to make a brew. To be clear I would rate this a quick boiling and, given the job it’s being asked to do, pretty quiet.Another criteria was stainless steel throughout. There is a tiny plastic insert in the kettle that I don’t much care for but another reviewer reports how to easily remove it.The body of this is solid whilst being light enough to enable me to float to the sink with it, whisperingly wofting my thumb over the small, ideally placed lid-release button, and filling the thing safely without risk of having my face or hands caught by escaping steam.Upon my return to the baseplate I pitch it again the task of making hot water and switch on the handily placed power switch whilst aiming the squat cylindrical escape nozzle roughly in the of my kitchen hob ventilation fan.I love the spout. The steam bubbles out as if from a classic steam engine and gets quickly expelled through the ventilation so that I can enjoy this routine daily.I use this kettle more than any high-tech thing that promises much but in the end just causes arguments.There is a beautiful blue water backlight when it’s in action that completes the look and feel; and in the end that is as sophisticated as any kettle needs to be as it also illuminates the water level.This is well thought out design. I would say highly respected mechanical and design engineers have had a strong hand in it’s feature set and evolution. And consequently, I amnow a Dualit convert.Highly recommended.

I purchased my first Dualit product (toaster) at the start of the year which made me look at getting the matching kettle when my kettle started playing up. Read the reviews and saw the noisy comments but there was some counter arguments to say it wasn't. Well it loses a star due to the level of noise it makes. Really not sure what kettle the people were using to say it wasn't noisy but this is loudest kettle I have ever heard.My wife works in the kitchen now and again I am unable to use the kettle if she is on a call due to the noise.It looks nice and boils pretty fast but if it didn't match my toaster I think I would have returned it due to the noise level.

The media could not be loaded. Very well made - looks fantastic and does the job.Here are the two things I couldn't really find a detailed review of so I've put them here and attached a video of the first:1) The spout - It's a funny shape compared to most - and I was worried that it would pour water in a strange way and I wouldn't like it. Well, it does pour differently, but its very nice. It's a more controlled pour with a slightly smaller flow. You have to tip the kettle maybe 10 degrees more than a normal spout kettle, but you get used to it in just a few goes. After that, you will appreciate the way the flow stops instantly when you straighten the kettle.2) The base is wobbly. Some people have written that they don't like the base as its not as secure - and I agree with this initially. Yes, the kettle does "wobble" on the base - if you wobble it about! When it's boiling with a max level of water in it, the kettle does a small "jiggle" right at the max boil rate - but NEVER enough to worry about or to look bad. However, this slightly lose base does make it easier to get the kettle on the charging port in the middle when it's full of water.Other points:It's not too heavy - even with loads of water.It makes about as much noise as any other jug kettle I've ever had.It's expensive, but it looks and feels expensive - which is kind of the point if you are buying something that is not just an appliance, but something that makes your kitchen look and feel nice (it's an important room after all!)We use a kettle several times a day, and we are pleased with this purchase - time will tell if it lasts.
