Recommendation

Overall, a stylish and practical kettle. The four colours to choose from mean you can easily match one of them to your kitchen. The wood on the handles is a lovely touch, and really brings the whole design together. From a practical point of view, the kettle is fairly standard, although it is a rapid boil kettle. We give the Tower Nordic Kettle 4.5 out of 5 stars.
