Cons
- Textured plastic body rather than a stainless-steel exterior
Skip it if
Skip it if you want a stainless-steel exterior — the 20441 gives you that — or if the textured plastic finish is not to your taste.
How we assessed it
We synthesized this
The Russell Hobbs Honeycomb pairs the same 3KW fast-boil internals as the 20441 with a body designed to stay looking tidy. Its honeycomb-textured, matt-and-gloss plastic exterior hides the fingerprints that show on bare stainless, so it keeps a clean look with less wiping, and the removable, washable anti-scale filter handles hard-water flakes just as its sibling does. It brings a full 1.7 L to the boil quickly. We recommend it for people who want the 20441's performance but prefer a low-maintenance, fingerprint-hiding finish.
The honest trade-off is material: this is a textured plastic body rather than a stainless-steel exterior, so if you want the cooler feel and look of metal, the 20441 is the one to choose. Our read synthesises Russell Hobbs's documented specs rather than a hands-on boil test — see how we test.
