Going back to the Argos Cookworks Textures Selcey Kettle, it has more than 170 reviews, as one reviewer wrote: “Beautiful kettle. Boils the water fast, and it holds lots of water.good filtration and illumination. Good product overall.”
Similarly, a second user commented: “I bought this a couple of weeks ago for my son as his had just broken. Great kettle for what I paid. Good fill capacity, fast boil and looked great. Black and silver matched his other electrical items.”
While an additional customer said: “The kettle is perfect, does what it is supposed to do, and looks good. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a product that works.”
Not all buyers were pleased, as one person rated it three stars because of its noise levels, explaining: “Good for price but a bit noisy when boiling.” Another user was more pleased, saying: “Stylish looking and quick boiling (has a water gauge and illumination light), which I did not expect from a cheap kettle, very pleased with this purchase.”
Similarly, someone else penned: “I’ve had Cookworks’ appliances before, and this is to replace a kettle. Shame the price has gone up since I last bought one, but that is to be expected! I always buy from Argos as it is reliable and can be returned if needed.”
