Russell Hobbs Groove Electric Kettle 1.7L, 3000W, Black, 26380

Black: The Russell Hobbs Groove electric kettle, model 26380, combines a 1.7-litre capacity with cup-level fill markers and a blue-illuminated water window. Its stated 3000W power and single-cup rapid-boil claims suit quick hot drinks, while the plastic body and textured finish with gold-coloured accents prioritise a distinctive countertop look.

At a glance

  • Cup markers help measure smaller amounts instead of filling the full 1.7-litre jug for a single drink.
  • The water window is blue illuminated and marked for measuring water.
  • Push-to-open lid, a 360° base with cord storage and a stated perfect-pour spout support everyday handling.
  • The listing claims up to 66% energy savings when boiling one 236ml cup rather than one litre.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • 1.7-litre capacity gives room for several cups, with internal 1/2/3-cup markers for smaller boils.
  • Customer feedback reports fast boiling, quiet operation and a lightweight feel. These are customer impressions, not independent performance measurements.
  • Textured black plastic with gold-coloured accents offers a more decorative finish than a plain kettle.

Cons

  • The plastic housing may not suit buyers seeking a metal or glass kettle.

What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Single-cup timing is inconsistent across the listing: one claim says 54 seconds for 235ml and another says 43 seconds for a 236ml cup. The energy-saving figure is presented as up to 66% against boiling one litre, so it is a comparison claim rather than a general saving guarantee. The stated extra year of guarantee depends on online registration within 28 days.

Who is it for?

A good fit for

  • Households wanting a 1.7-litre jug kettle with smaller cup-fill markers.
  • People who value a blue-lit water window, push-to-open lid and cord storage in the base.
  • Buyers drawn to a textured black finish with gold-coloured detailing.

Less suited to

  • Shoppers who specifically want a stainless-steel or glass-bodied kettle.
  • Anyone relying on a precise single-cup boiling time should note the listing gives two different figures.

Customer feedback highlights perceived fast boiling, quiet operation, a lightweight feel, appearance and functionality. These impressions make the kettle seem suited to routine hot drinks, while the 1.7-litre capacity and cup markers support both larger and single-cup boils. The listing's conflicting single-cup timings mean customer praise for speed should not be read as confirming a specific time. Feedback also describes it as good value, but that is a customer impression rather than a price comparison.

Positive themes

  • Customers describe it as well-made, functional and attractive, including appreciation for its gold accents.
  • Customer feedback praises boiling speed, quiet operation and lightweight handling.
