Specification

Let's now look at the features:

• Capacity - 1.7 Litres, or 6-8 cups depending on what people drink. Such a large capacity is suitable for big families, gatherings, workplaces, etc.
• Dimensions - 26.2cm x 19.4cm x 16.6cm.
• Fast Boil - A 3kW concealed (under the kettle's floor) heating element provides the kettle with the energy it needs to rapidly boil water. Ridiculously long waiting times are a thing of the past with the Chester Kettle.
• Water Window - There's a see through water window on the side of the kettle, marking the 0.5L minimum, 4 cups, 6 cups and the 1.7L maximum. It's particularly useful as you can fill the kettle with the exact amount of water required, and as such boil only what you need. Your energy bill could be much lower as a result.
• Illumination - When boiling, the switch illuminates.
• Easy Pour Spout - The spout has been designed to provide an easy and convenient pour, with minimal spilling and splashing, therefore keeping your worktops dry.
• BPA Free - If you're concerned about the chemical BPA then you need not worry with this kettle as it's BPA free.
• Ergonomic Handle - The handle has been designed to provide a comfortable grip.
• Push Button Lid - The hinged lid is operated by a button on the handle. It can be pressed with your thumb while the handle's being held.
• 360 Degree Base - The kettle itself is cordless. It instead relies on a 360 degree base to provide the electricity to boil it. Since the base is 360 degrees, the kettle can face any direction on it.

Matching Toaster, Microwave, Hand Mixer and Food Processor

If you're looking to coordinate your kitchen with other appliances, Haden offer a matching toaster, microwave, hand mixer and 6-in-1 food processor.

Its sleek build and lovely white finish give it style and ensure it's suitability for both contemporary and classic kitchens. Of particular interest is how it's BPA free.
