Russell Hobbs kettle €10 in Tesco

borderlinemeath

Got the Russell Hobbs Geneva Kettle in Tesco last night reduced from €39.99 to €10. Brushed stainless steel, and "illuminates blue" when boiling.
Spout a bit narrow for my tap but i'll live with it.

Think the spout is for filtering the limescale from water coming OUT of the kettle.. Lift lid to fill..

DANG! I just bought very similar model from Argos a few days ago, reduced to €38.99 from €79.99. There couldn't be that much of a difference between kettles.. Could there?

I always use the spout as I live in a hard water area - so it filters the limescale going in too;).
One of the reasons I got a "back up kettle". The current one is 10months old and even with regular descaling it still has a large amount of limescale in it - so if it failed for whatever reason I doubt the retailer would entertain me as it looks as if it hasn't been looked after.

Is that not self-defeating?

I mean when you eventually pour yourself a cup of tea....

Just got a new kitchen so need a new kettle & toaster (old ones are about 8 years old & only cost about €10 each when we got them). None in Tesco Merrion anyway.

Not really - I tend to rinse out the kettle a good bit because of our hard water. For a while we used to fill a jug from the water filter to fill the kettle:D but the water filters are expensive.

We have looked into getting the purification system put in at the tank but that costs a fortune as well..upwards of €5K:eek:

A cheap €10 kettle every year will do me fine!

They actually had the matching 4 slice toasters reduced to €19 and there were loads of them left. You might need to try a store like Dundrum - from memory they have a good range there.

Oh cool - a toaster & kettle would be great. My o/h keeps on pointing out kettles & toasters for €50 & €60 each, so this would be great.
I'll be passing Tesco Rathfarnham on my way home, so will have a check there. Otherwise I'll go to the square this evening & see if they have them. Hopefully a store that big may have stock.

The kettle is not in the square...please post if they are in rathfarnham

Oral Slang

My drive home took an extra 45 mins, but can confirm that there are none in Dundrum, Nutgrove & Rathfarnham. Glad you found out there are none in the Square either, couldn't face another Tesco tonight! If anyone sees them in Dublin, can they post where please!

Off Topic: For limescale, boil neat vinegar for 5 minutes in kettle once a week. Will keep it sparkly.

None in Mahon or Douglas:( They had a russell hobs 2 slice toaster down from €60ish to €16 in Douglas though.

Picked up this one for €9.50 in Clarehall. No price on shelf so took over to price checker. I couldn't remember what the OP looked like and took a chance and got lucky.

does it have a concealed element?

I had one of those, the dog would always start barking right before it would start to whistle.

All sold out as they were the best in the world at getting rid of limescale.

Thanks for posting this, picked one up earlier. Thought they didn't have any at first but then looked up and there were loads on the top of the shelves.

Can't find any sign of them in Midleton, their all scanning at full price

If you live nearby, take another look. They are in the first aisle (where the TVs/electronics/home electricals are), opposite the self scan checkouts. Easily missed as they are on top of the shelving, marked at €39.99 At least 10 there when I left so I doubt they were all gone.

doniem

Spot on got them after all, thanks for pointing that out mate I must be half blind

yabadabado

Is this one also loud??

I want to get a new one because my current one is louder than our TV's max volume setting...

I wouldn't call it loud at all. Definitely quieter than the kettle it replaced which wasn't loud either.

Keep the kettle in the kitchen, and the tv in the sitting room. Sorted!

moomooman

The catch on the lid broke within a week of purchase, and that was at full price.

Very loud also.
