Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Russell Hobbs RH13552 Ellora 1-2/3-Liter Stainless-Steel Electric Kettle
Customer Review: FINALLY, a no-plastic option!
Summary: 5 Stars
Dear fellow Plastic-free water lovers,
After **exhaustively** researching kettles, I finally got this Russell Hobbs RH13552 Ellora 1-2/3-Liter Stainless-Steel Electric Kettle and modified it by removing the unnecessary plastic parts (scale filter, filter mount, and removable water-level indicator).
FINALLY, a zero-contamination option!! Here's the scoop:
1. I can fill my kettle up to the full 1.7 liters with NO plastic submerged and NO contact on pouring.
2. There are two remaining areas that contact steam: one tiny, match-head-sized speck on the stainless lid which seems totally superfluous (very annoying) and an area the size of a quarter that helps to stabilize the handle. I tried removing that and the kettle still works but the handle was a little wobbly, so I put it back. I don't think it would actually cause a spill but it makes the kettle feel junky and the movement could wear down the primary attachment over time. Your call.
So, for those concerned about condensation (as, probably, we should be), you could have a 100% plastic-free stainless kettle by purchasing the Ellora, unscrewing the plastic parts and leaving the lid off.
Or, you could risk a small amount of condensation and adopt my hybrid, no-contact modification, which leaves the lid and inner handle-mount intact. I like my kettle-handles to feel sturdy, and with the lid on, the autoshutoff still works! It's a little delayed without the plastic filter they had on there-boils hard for a good 30 seconds before shutting off-but throwing a dish towel over the spout to trap steam eliminates this minor problem.
Woo-hooo!! The kettle is so convenient, I'm drinking tea like a fish!
