50's Retro Style Electric Water Kettle with Automatic Shutoff, Removable Base, and Water Indicator, KLF03BLUS, Black

This kettle is not only attractive, it does such a great job heating water! I have a friend with another major brand and it does not heat water nearly as quickly as my SMEG.

The Smeg 50's Retro Style 7-Cup Electric Kettle is a fantastic addition to any kitchen, combining eye-catching design with practicality. Its retro aesthetic adds a touch of vintage flair that instantly brightens up the countertop. One of the first things I noticed is the kettle's robust build quality. The stainless steel construction not only looks sleek but also ensures durability. The 7-cup capacity is perfect for making multiple cups of tea or coffee, making it a great choice for gatherings or family breakfasts. The kettle heats water quickly, thanks to its powerful heating element. I appreciate the precision of the temperature control feature, which allows me to select the perfect heat for different beverages, whether it’s black tea, green tea, or even instant noodles! Another highlight is the easy-to-read water level indicator, which takes the guesswork out of filling. The spout is designed for easy pouring without spills, and the removable filter helps keep water pure and free of impurities. Cleaning is simple, as the wide opening makes it easy to access the interior. Overall, the Smeg 50's Retro Style Electric Kettle is not only functional but also a beautiful statement piece for any kitchen. If you’re looking for style and performance in one package, this kettle is definitely worth considering!

I recently added the SMEG 7-Cup Electric Kettle in Glossy Black to my kitchen, and I couldn’t be happier with it—especially since it perfectly matches my SMEG toaster! The glossy black finish is sleek and classic, and having the two side by side really ties everything together. The retro design adds a stylish touch, but still blends beautifully with my more modern kitchen. Beyond the looks, the kettle performs just as well as you’d hope. It heats water quickly and quietly, and the 7-cup capacity is perfect whether I’m making a single cup of tea or a full French press. The soft-opening lid is one of those little details that makes a big difference—it opens gently, without that sudden snap-back you get with other kettles. It just feels smooth and thoughtfully designed. Another feature I really appreciate is the built-in limescale filter. It helps keep the water clean and the kettle in great shape, especially since I live in an area with hard water. Cleaning is super easy, and I know it’ll last longer because of that. Overall, it’s a perfect combination of form and function. It looks gorgeous on the counter, works beautifully, and matches my toaster perfectly. Highly recommend if you’re building a kitchen setup that’s both practical and stylish!

I saved up and splurged on this SMEG tea kettle as a reward to myself. I don’t usually spend this kind of money on a kitchen item, but I was so excited and proud to have it. It looked beautiful in my kitchen and I genuinely loved it. That’s why I’m so crushed to see a huge air bubble form on the side. It looks like a defect in the finish, and now the kettle is making strange popping/crackling noises in that area as well. For something at this price point, this shouldn’t be happening. This wasn’t just a kettle to me — it was a special purchase. I’m incredibly disappointed that the quality hasn’t matched the price.

This kettle is absolutely amazing. Super cool, stylish, and modern. The design is just stunning — it looks beautiful in any kitchen. High quality, easy to use, and feels truly premium. If you love great design and comfort, this kettle is a perfect choice.

Expensive, but it is a SMEG. Works and looks great.

SMEG 50’s Retro Kettle – absolute stunner! Arrived perfect: glossy, no scratches, looks straight out of a magazine cover. 1.7L capacity is huge – one boil and the whole family is sorted. Heats up fast, super solid build, handle stays cool, pours perfectly without a single drip. Put it on the counter and boom – instant kitchen star. Yeah, fingerprints show on the gloss, but one wipe and it’s flawless again. Expensive? Sure. But this isn’t just a kettle, it’s pure joy in appliance form. 10/10, totally in love. 🔥

After owning an electric kettle for years (I’m a tea drinker and drinks tea every day), this my 4rd brand of kettle that I’ve owned. I don’t buy until they break. My first one lasted for 5 years, the second one for another 5 years. This kettle does the job and its appearance is the cutest and my favorite look among the three. Now for the things I don’t really like: 1. Basic functionality like my first one which is just On/Off BUT this one is stainless steel (my first one is pure plastic). 2. I don’t get the little alarm anymore when my water is boiling (my second one makes the sounds which is really good for busy momma in the morning.) BUT this is just breaking the usual habit (for 5 yrs) so I guess I can live with it and will get used to it. 3. For 2 days, I DID NOT like the taste, the plastic smell or burnt steel smell of my hot water and this is after ‘wasting’ almost 3-4 gallons of boiled water or about 8-10 batch of water hoping it will change as per some reviews here in Amazon. I tossed these water on my sink while keep telling myself ‘it’s good for the sink’. Finally gave up after 8-10 tries (sorry I literally lost count). Really close to returning this cute item at that point. Then I said I’ll give it another try this time, I’ll be opening the cover and let it boil, closely monitoring if it’s actually boiling, then close the lid until the little guy (on and off lever) would go up -sensing that the water is boiling. Poured the water in my tea cup and this time, the bad smell and taste is less distracting or not as strong than usual. As of writing, I’m still doing the same thing. 4. I noticed the dark spots at the bottom of the inside kettle (I read how you call it in someone’s review but I couldn’t be bothered to check it now). Anyhow, I give it 4 stars because of that dark spots considering how much we paid for this item as the other little issues I think I can turn a blind eye on them. It is really cute addition in our kitchen. Hope it lasts 5 yrs (or more). ;)
