According to our kettle expert
With the Russell Hobbs Buckingham you don't wake the whole house when you make a cup of tea in the morning. With a noise level of 69 dB, the kettle makes little noise while boiling water. The blue LED light on the outside of the stainless steel case comes on when the Buckingham is working. The kettle is also fast, because your water is boiled within 1 minute and 53 seconds. That way you don't have to interrupt that exciting series that long.

Durability, ease of use and maintenance are not yet possible to assess as I have just received the device.
The pouring spout looks small (see picture, left is the old kettle, right is the new Russel Hobbs) for filling a teapot, the spout could have been a bit bigger. This is fine for pouring a glass.
I bought this mainly because it would be quiet. I compared it to our old kettle (Philips HD 4667) by boiling one liter of water in both and recording the time it took and also the maximum noise.
The Russell Hobbs was a 1/2 minute faster (3.19 minute vs. 2.50) and about 10 db softer (51 vs. 40). So it is indeed quieter and faster. By the way, it is hotter on the outside than the Philips.
The comparison will probably not be completely accurate, since the power of the tubes is not equal and one is of course new and the other is not.
I had asked Coolblue about the height and diameter since these were not in the specifications. They did not know these dimensions. The height without pedestal is 21.5 cm and on the pedestal it is 23.5 cm. The diameter at the bottom is 16 cm.

In the beginning I was very happy with my kettle but unfortunately within 4 weeks rust spots appeared on the lid. Excellent customer service from Coolblue with money refunded within a few days.

Nice, fast and very quiet kettle. Easy to use! There is nothing to fault with this kettle. Delivery is also fast and well taken care of.
