A quieter way to make hot drinks The sleek and modern Buckingham Kettle has a quiet boil feature that makes it up to 75% quieter* than a standard Russell Hobbs kettle. With a 1.7 litre capacity jug, it’s big enough to make up to six cups and has a perfect pour spout to prevent boiled water spilling or splashing onto hands or work surfaces. It's fast too, boiling one cup of water in just 45 seconds**
