Details & care

Beautiful retro aesthetics meet high-powered contemporary performance in a die-cast, powder-coated steel kettle. This kettle makes it a breeze to heat water for tea, oatmeal and more. Featuring a 360° swivel base and easy-to-read water level indicators, the kettle shuts off automatically when water reaches a boiling point, when the jug is lifted from the base or when it's empty. A soft-opening lid prevents the sudden release of steam.

Hot Stuff

I have been wanting an electric kettle for a while and finally pulled the trigger. Nordstrom was the first place I checked, because I knew they would offer top quality brands and they did in this cute Italian kettle. It takes cold water to boiling quickly at the push of a button, turning off automatically. The water hot for a bit and looks great on my counter top. I love it, thanks again Nordstrom!

Nordstrom quality slipping

Upon opening the box, it appeared I had been sent an old return or damaged kettle; on both sides of the kettle the letter G of Smeg was missing, the kettle was smudged as if used and it appeared to have been thrown in the box and sealed shut without packaging or plastic wrap. Totally broke my confidence in Nordstrom inspecting before shipping out and in Smeg (who's refrigerator I own) being reliable in what they stock to upscale retailers. Returned and will purchase another brand elsewhere online.

Disappointing

This Electric Tea Kettle is very noisy. Sounds like a rocket as the water boils, and the water doesn’t stay hot for long. By the time you finish the first cup of tea the rest of the water is just warm; also, Kettle is very heavy. I’m very disappointed with this purchase because it’s an expensive tea Kettle. If you want it for looks, it’s beautiful; however, I’m a serious tea drinker and I want it for hot water!! I do not recommend this tea kettle. There are better ones for way less money.

Defective

So disappointing. Received my kettle today. I was so excited to use it, only to find, it leaks. And the longer it boils, the faster it leaks. So bummed.

SMEG Fantastic in red.

This was an upgrade from my old teapot and it does not disappoint. The style is beautiful, the finish is lovely. It has a nice light to tell you it is boiling the water. I chose the color red and could not be happier.

Bad product

First, the letters started falling off, then the lid refused to work properly. Definitely not worth the investment.

Poor quality and value

This was a very disappointing purchase. The quality and overall value (quality / price) of the kettle are low. I thought it would be made in Europe, but it was made in China. The kettle itself is plastic, and the size is quite small. Beautiful form / design, but lousy function. I gave it two stars since it is a very nice design. I returned this kettle.

Leaking Kettle

Purchased a White SMEG kettle just a little over a year ago. Noticed several months ago puddles of water on countertop near kettle. Turns out the kettle leaks from the bottom and into the base. Water pools into the base. Thank goodness no fire or other hazards. Contacted SMEG and No results. Was told since product was just 1 month over warranty they won’t do anything about it. So if you want a cute expensive tea kettle that leaks this is it! SMEG didn’t offer any explanation or solution. So they don’t stand behind product.

Looks great on countertop

Functions great and looks beautiful on countertop! Only complaint is that the handle doesn’t seem real sturdy - plastic. Expect a bit more based on price.
