Russell Hobbs Eden Kookketel Test

The brushed stainless finish looks great and matches my other appliances perfectly. Boils water surprisingly fast, though the lid can be a bit stiff to open at first.

The flat base sits rock solid on my counter, no wobble at all when it's full. I went with the matte black option and it's a proper statement piece that still wipes clean in seconds. Boils fast enough that I'm not staring at it impatiently first thing in the morning.

The three finish options meant I could actually match it to my countertops instead of settling for whatever was in stock. It's got that classic, understated look that fits right in with the rest of my kitchen gear, and the build feels solid for the price.
