But the board is very poorly positioned. The wife will get in the way of the footy. I think he should tell her to move it when she's finished making the dinner.

Plot twist, maybe he doesn't have a wife and it's all a ruse to justify a new ironing board

Take that kettle back to the shop.

EDIT: Just seen how much they cost. Definitely take it back, Jesus. It boils water.

So you bought a £90 kettle to replace it?

Madness.

That kettle will look awful in a year with all the scale that you'll be able to see through the natural purity of glass.

Lol loving all the hate

Cheap kettles are a false economy. The only reason my similarly priced previous kettle developed a leak was because a housemate dropped it.

Had a transparent kettle before with no scale issues, descale like you would any other.

You can argue the toss all day long about spending more than is necessary with just about any product delivering exactly the same function

I bought that minky board for me too. Wife complained it looked too manly. I iron my own stuff and I wasn't doing it with flowers and hearts. Been rock solid for a couple of years now.

I need to get a new iron though. Is that Bosch good?

The Tesco branded kettle at work is older than I am.

It must get boiled 200 times a day too.

NooBish AbbZ · 3 Dec 2016 at 19:26

£19 for that minky? I paid £40 for mine last year. I actually need to buy one or two extra covers just to give it a bit more padding...

G-MAN2004 · 3 Dec 2016 at 19:40

If you took Heston's name off that kettle it'd be £30.

Don't forget the natural purity of glass...

Seriously though, ninety quid for a kettle? Even with a soft open lid and the natural purity of glass.

What does that even mean? "natural purity of glass"? Who goes shopping for a kettle and thinks "wow, we'll get this one, it has the natural purity of glass".

We've had that Sage glass kettle for about a year now at its great.

The whole point of the kettle is doesn't release potentially harmful chemicals into your drink like the usual plastic kettles. Drinks tastes great, better than other kettles we have had. What I also like about the kettle is you can easily see exactly how much water is in it.

£60 is chump change for something that is going to last you a longtime.

Some of you need to educate yourselves before making fun of other peoples purchases.

Generally in life you get what you pay for. I would have more faith in the Sage kettle. Plus that kettle is a 2.0 litre and not compact.

My kettle was £60 and matches my £50 toaster. Don't see a problem
