Does it have temperature settings?

No. It is a standard kettle with a single boil setting, so it suits tea and coffee that want boiling water rather than green tea or pour-over brewing at lower temperatures.

A stainless steel body on a chrome base, with SMEG's retro ball lever handle. The steel interior means limescale will show and should be descaled regularly.

How does it compare with other SMEG kettles?

This is the standard model. SMEG's variable-temperature kettle adds selectable heat settings for different drinks; this one keeps the same retro shape with simpler controls.

Is it worth it over a cheaper kettle?

If you want the 1950s SMEG look on your counter, yes. If you only want fast boiling water, a plain kettle does the same job with fewer features to pay for.

Does it match other SMEG appliances?

Yes. It is part of the 50's Style line, so it is designed to sit alongside SMEG's retro toaster and other matching appliances.

How do I deal with limescale?

Descale with a citric acid or vinegar solution as scale appears. In hard-water areas that means fairly often, since the steel interior shows buildup.
