Andrew James Lumiglo Fast Boil Electric Kettle (Grey) 1.7L, 3000W cordless quiet boil
Product description
If you’re fed up with waiting for the kettle to heat up, a fast-boil electric kettle is one of those small kitchen upgrades that actually gets used every day. The Andrew James Lumiglo Fast Boil Electric Kettle leans into that “quick, practical, and calmer to live with” idea, with a large 1.7L jug, rapid boiling, and a removable/reusable filter.
At the same time, it’s not trying to be the most feature-heavy kettle on the shelf. It’s aimed at straightforward everyday tea and hot drinks, with safety steps and a design that’s meant to be easy to handle and pour.
The essentials
This is a cordless electric kettle with a 1.7L capacity, built around rapid boil performance. You can open the lid with a touch of a button for filling, and it sits on a swivel base so lifting and pouring is more natural than with fixed bases.
A standout detail on paper is the “quiet” positioning (it’s described as silent/quiet in the context of the range), which is relevant if your household is sensitive to kettle noise or you tend to boil early in the morning.
Key features that matter in real life
The kettle is designed for everyday convenience rather than complicated controls. In practice, you’re mostly going to care about how fast it heats, how easy it is to fill, and whether cleaning is manageable.
- Rapid boil + 1.7L jug: better for bigger mugs and family use than small 0.5L kettles.
- Reusable filter: the filter can be removed, cleaned, and replaced, which can help reduce the faff of constantly dealing with disposable filters.
- Cordless with swivel base: gives you flexibility when pouring and moving it around your kitchen.
- Pouring spout designed for easy tea serving: the spout is specifically mentioned as making pouring simpler.
There’s also a safety-focused angle that’s worth noting, especially if multiple people use the kettle.
What stands out (and where it may feel limited)
Where it shines is the combination of capacity and speed, wrapped up with a user-friendly filling approach. If you often boil enough for a round of drinks (or you don’t like reboiling because the kettle is too small), this 1.7L size makes a lot of sense.
That said, it’s not perfect for every situation. For example, if you only ever boil one mug at a time, a larger jug can feel like overkill—more water than you actually need, and you’ll probably end up doing slightly more rinsing/emptying habits than with a smaller kettle.
Also, while the “quiet” positioning is part of its pitch, you shouldn’t assume it will be completely silent in all kitchens—boiling noise can vary with your water and how high you crank the usage.
Safety and day-to-day confidence
This kettle includes boil-dry protection (auto-cancel when there isn’t enough water in the 1.7L jug). It’s a practical safeguard if you’ve ever been caught mid-routine and realised the water level was low.
It also has a swivel base and non-slip feet, which matters more than you might think when you’re pouring quickly and doing it on a busy worktop.

Who it suits, and who should look elsewhere
It’s a solid pick if you want a fast-boiling kettle for regular home use, especially if you prefer a larger capacity and don’t want the hassle of disposable filters.
It may not be the best match if your household is mainly boiling one small drink at a time, or if you specifically want a kettle with lots of advanced temperature controls (those aren’t mentioned here, so you’d be taking a gamble).
Worth considering if you like practical design and the idea of a calm, quieter-boil experience rather than a kettle that feels overly “loud” in day-to-day life.

Final verdict
Should you buy it?
