RUSSELL HOBBS 20412-70 COLOURS PLUS+ Kettle 2400W 1.7L red

The Russell Hobbs 20412-70 Colours Plus+ is a red electric kettle with 2400 W of power and a 1.7-litre capacity, suited to a kitchen, home or office. Its vivid red finish adds a bold touch to almost any worktop and matches a range of interior styles.

The 1, 2 and 3 cup markings make it easy to measure the amount you need and heat it quickly. According to the manufacturer, one cup of water (235 ml) boils in about 50 seconds, and boiling this smaller amount instead of a full litre can save up to around 70% of the energy.

The lid opens with a simple flip, so there is no need to remove it when filling. The 360-degree base works equally well for right- and left-handed users, and the cord can be wound away neatly inside it. A removable, washable limescale filter, an overheating protection and automatic switch-off complete the design.
