1 / 6Russell Hobbs 20441 Snowdon 1.7 L Stainless Steel Kettle
The Russell Hobbs Snowdon 20441 is a 1.7-litre stainless-steel kettle with a claimed 3kW rapid-boil function, cup measures and a 360° base. Its listed features suit households that want a larger jug but also boil smaller amounts. The manufacturer gives two different one-cup boiling times, so treat the speed figure as conditional rather than guaranteed.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing gives different one-cup boiling claims: 47 seconds for a 236ml cup in one feature and 45 seconds elsewhere, with the latter specified at 3kW. Treat these as manufacturer claims, not a guaranteed time. Customer feedback also reports mixed views on noise, durability and visibility of the water-level indicator, including some reports of early failure, so buyers prioritising quiet operation or long-term reliability should weigh that feedback.
