Russell Hobbs 24361 Inspire Electric Kettle, 3000 W, 1.7 Litre, Black with Chrome Accents with 4 Slice Toaster

I purchased the Russell Hobbs 24361 Inspire Kettle and Toaster Set in white to upgrade our dated kitchen appliances, and I’ve been thoroughly impressed from the moment I took them out of the box. If you’re looking for a matching set that combines classic performance with modern aesthetics, this duo is hard to beat.Design & First ImpressionsLet’s start with the looks — this set is simply beautiful. The ripple texture design and glossy finish give both the kettle and toaster a modern, premium feel without being flashy. The chrome accents add just the right amount of shine, making them stand out on any kitchen worktop. I opted for white, but the full Inspire range includes other colours like black and red, which are equally sleek.Kettle PerformanceThe kettle is fast and efficient. It boils quietly and quickly, typically in just over a minute for two mugs' worth of water, thanks to the rapid boil function. There's a handy water level indicator on the side, and you can easily boil a single cup to save energy when needed — a small but eco-friendly detail I really appreciate.It holds 1.7 litres, which is more than enough for a family-sized round of tea or to fill a pan when cooking. The 360-degree base is great for both left and right-handed users, and the cordless design means it lifts cleanly and pours smoothly. The spout design is excellent — no drips, no splashes.It also features a removable limescale filter, which is easy to take out and rinse. For those of us in hard water areas, this is a real bonus.Toaster PerformanceThe matching toaster is just as impressive. It has two wide slots, which comfortably fit thick slices of bread, bagels, or crumpets without any cramming or burning. The browning control is reliable and consistent — after a couple of test runs, I found my ideal setting, and it’s been spot-on ever since.There’s also a lift-and-look feature, so you can check on your toast without interrupting the cycle — perfect for those of us who hate burned toast! It also includes defrost and reheat functions, plus a cancel button, which are all responsive and clearly labelled.Crumb tray access is easy from the back, and the tray slides out for quick cleaning. No more having to tip the whole thing upside down and shake it awkwardly.Everyday UseBoth appliances are lightweight but feel sturdy, with rubber feet that keep them stable during use. The controls are intuitive and well laid out, and they’re easy to wipe clean — a must in a busy kitchen.They also perform well under daily use. After several weeks of multiple uses a day, both the kettle and toaster are working flawlessly and still look as good as new.Final ThoughtsIf I had to nitpick, the exterior can get a bit fingerprinty (especially the chrome trim), but a quick wipe sorts that easily.Overall, the Russell Hobbs Inspire Kettle and Toaster Set is stylish, functional, and reliable. It’s ideal for anyone wanting to upgrade their kitchen without splashing out on luxury brands. Performance-wise, it's hard to fault, and it looks fantastic to boot.Highly recommended for style-conscious homes that want practical, everyday reliability.

Quick easy to use items. Looks great in kitchen.

Love these.Had for over a year now and working great.

Very pleased with the toaster and kettle they look nice they work well so easy to use. Toast the bread well so all is good.

really love this package for the price - excellent value and great looking. i am writing this review almost 4 years after ownership (late i know). the toaster is still going strong - excellent crumb tray and great looking. the kettle, we had to throw out after about 2 months of use. sadly due to the fact it is made of plastic, a lot of it went white with limescale. sure, we live in a hard water area but we've never had kettle such a short amount of time. we tried descaling a few times but to no avail. so in short, if i were going to do it again, i would get the toaster and not bother with the kettle - glass or metal i think.

The media could not be loaded. You can never be disappointed with Russell and Hobb's. This set was purchased during Black Friday. I love having a matchingg kettle and toaster. Excellent safety features where the 3rd and 4th slides don't work if the first and second have not been switched on. There is the ability to pop put the toast or buns to check if they are done. And 5 heat settings. I toast buns, bread, bagels, warm waffles etc in this toaster. It also is very easy to clean.https://amzn.to/4jfjOfC
