Double Walled Kettle 5000Double Walled Kettle 5000 Series

This is the first stainless steel kettle I've purchased as I wanted to steer away from plastics. I'm very pleased I made this decision. It's a nice black and chrome design with a large water capacity and a push button lid which opens to allow you to fill. The measurements are on the inside of the kettle if you prefer to just boil a small amount of water. There is boil-dry protection so no fear of damage from under filling. There is a digital display which allows you to heat the water in increments up to 100 degrees. The kettle heats really fast and you can see the digits on the display increasing as it goes. It's also quieter than previous kettles I've owned. I find it to be quite light even when full and the handle is easy to grip and when pouring I've had no problems with leaking lids etc. I really like the fact that the outside of the kettle stays cool so no worries about little fingers being burned and the water stays warm for a long time inside. You can see the temperature decreasing on the display as it reduces. In summary, a good buy and a nice addition to my kitchen worktop. Robyn T

Philips 7000 series Kettle I got this beautiful kettle delivered a few days ago. I was amazed at the size and design. It was better than I imagined. Design and aesthetic aside, the performance is exceptional, I boiled three cups of water in less than 2.5 minutes. The speed compared to my previous kettle was astronomical. It used to take more than 10 minutes for my kettle to boil. Another great feature is that you can see the temperature of the water and I was amazed to see that after 20 minutes, the temperature of the water is 69 degrees Celsius. Another feature is the ability to press temperature to check the temperature of the water. Underneath the detachable base, you can wound up the cable for easy storage. I highly recommend this kettle, like they say, you pay for quality, you get quality.

Kettle is great and tells you current temp of water. You need to bring out a matching toaster, air firer that also compliments the coffee machines.

I bought the Philips 5000 Series because, after looking at many kettles, it was the only model I found with a genuinely seamless stainless-steel interior. As far as I can see, there is no plastic, silicone, glue or other non-metal material in contact with the boiling water. From a health-conscious design perspective, this is exactly what I was looking for. What surprises me is how little attention manufacturers seem to give to this aspect of kettle design. Many people are becoming increasingly conscious about unnecessary contact between hot water and plastics, silicone seals, adhesives or similar materials, yet this rarely seems to be treated as an important design feature. The strange part is that Philips appears to have achieved an excellent solution with the 5000 Series, but then moved away from it in the 7000 Series. The 7000 model appears to have an internal probe or sensor penetrating the kettle wall, which requires some form of seal around it. To me, that is a step backwards from the beautifully simple seamless interior of the 5000. It actually makes me wonder whether the health-conscious advantage of the 5000 Series was intentional at all, or simply a fortunate result of its particular design. If Philips recognised this as an important feature, I would have expected later models to preserve the seamless stainless-steel interior while improving things such as appearance, colours or other external features. For people specifically looking for a kettle with the minimum possible amount of non-metal material in contact with boiling water, the Philips 5000 Series is an unusually good design. I hope Philips keeps producing it and, more importantly, recognises that there is a real market for appliances designed around this principle.

Easy to use. Well insulated...keeps water hot long after with power off. Unfortunately not in the colour of my wife's choice ;-(

Very happy with the product quality and performance.

Because this kettle is built with double-wall so when water is boiled our hands would not get burnt easily. I’d like to recommend it to my friends.

Looks Great, Concept of No Plastic, Sealers is fantastic. The shape of the spout needs redesigning as is doesn't pour smoothly & the Lid needs attention it lifts slightly & allow minimal steam through gap & boiling water if you pour too quickly. I hope Philips will address these 2 issues promptly as these affect the kettles user experience. I am keeping the kettle simple because "PLASTIC FREE" is far more important than these 2 issues. Please fix these issues Philips.

It’s hard to where the max watermark so that you don’t overfill water for boiling since it is marked internally. Worst if you are left handed and holding the kettle on your left and under a running tap.

I bought mine about 3 months ago. I wonder why the bottom (part B as per my photo) always built up with "slime like" stain after each boil where u can remove it by some soft sponge brush. Secondly the Part A as per mine picture seems to be very rough as compared to the upper part where is smooth. Does it came this way originally or only after use, im not sure as i didnt verify it before i use it unless i go check those at the department store to verify. But I really dont think the surface should be this rough. The slime at the bottom may be due to the water content. Can Philip or anyone here kindly share your experience if u have one. Thks
