Morphy Richards Vetro Kettle Review

The Morphy Richards Vetro Kettle is a large capacity glass jug kettle with a stainless steel top and bottom, and a black plastic handle. Its most notable feature is the large glass water window allowing you to see the water boiling. When boiling, the water illuminates a brilliant blue. The water window has a secondary textured layer for added effect.

Specification

The features are as follows:

• Capacity - 1.5 Litres. Makes about 6 drinks at a time. Perfect for large families, gatherings or the office.
• Dimensions - 21.5cm x 21.5cm x 29.0cm.
• Rapid Boil - The 3kW heating element causes the kettle to rapidly boil water. It can boil small amounts of water also, so waiting time is reduced, as well as your electricity bill.
• Limescale Filter - The kettles is equipped with a removable and washable limescale filter. Its primary purpose is to prevent the gritty limescale from entering your cup, but it also makes the water look and taste better.
• Easy To See Water Gauge - Overlaid on the water window is a water gauge denoting the water level for 2 cups, 4 cups and the 1.5 litre maximum.
• Perfect Pour Spout - The "perfect pour spout" has been designed to minimise excess dripping and spilling, therefore keeping your work surfaces dry.
• 360 Degree Base - The kettle comes with a 360 degree base. Simply sit the kettle on the base and turn on the switch on the kettle. The 360 degree base makes it easy to lift the kettle and place it back down. It's also particularly useful if it's regularly used by people with different dominant hands.
• Boil Dry Protection - The kettle will switch itself off if it ever finds itself in the situation where the water has boiled away.

Summary

In summary, the Morphy Richards Vetro Kettle holds its own. Its sleek and slender design and textured outer layer really bring the design together. We particularly like the large glass illuminating water window purely for the aesthetic it gives when the kettle's boiling. In terms of features, the kettle has what you would expect from a modern electric kettle. We rate this kettle 4.5 out of 5 stars.
