Double Walled Kettle 5000Double Walled Kettle 5000 Series

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

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.

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

The product is not really good, when do boiling need to press 3 times than the boiling water completed in 100% and always stop at 40% so will u think that the product is good. The kettle very easy get rusty

Not that user friendly on selecting the keep temp option, and not a clean pour from the spout.

The pouring with lid close is very poor design. The hot water leaks from the side. Nearly got burn from the water. Have to be very careful. Don’t pour close to your self or close to kids. It due to the lid is not tight fit when close.

The lip of the kettle doesn't seal shut - there's a slight gap all the way round - which means when it's boiling steam is escaping all the way round (see the photo with condensation all around the edge of the lid) and also means it boils longer as it delays the kettle automatically shutting off. I'm not sure if this is a design flaw or a fault with the one I bought last week. If I put a weight on the lid (like a tin of food) then this seals it shut. I bought the kettle because I like that the interior is completely stainless steel, and there is no plastic inside. I didn't buy the 7000 because there is plastic and the reviews on here seem to show lots of faults. Unfortunately it looks like the 5000 also has faults.

Apparently this is not an uncommon issue, 2 other feedbacks below The kettle stops boiling at 40 degree at the first round, need to press boil again 2-3 times to complete a boiling. Complete waste of time How do we solve this issue Philips??

Kettle will "leak" from the opening if tilt too much during pouring. Need to be cautious else you may get scald by the boiling hot water. I do not have this problem with another brand.
