Beloved U.K. Brand Makes its Way across the
Pond
RUSSELL HOBBS®, the number one small domestic appliance brand in
the U.K.*, is making its debut stateside launching today on
Amazon.com. The initial launch will feature the Retro Style Series
and the elegant Glass Accent Series, each including coffeemakers,
electric kettles and toasters. Both product lines have helpful
features that save time and provide real-life solutions for
everyday use.
“We are thrilled to introduce RUSSELL HOBBS to the U.S. market,”
said Steve Fraundorfer, President, Global Batteries &
Appliances Division at Spectrum Brands. “In addition to superb
functionality and convenience, the brand brings a stylish aesthetic
to the small kitchen appliance category. With over 60 years of rich
history in the U.K., we are excited to introduce U.S. consumers to
this beloved European brand.”
The design and styling of the Russell Hobbs’ Retro Style Series
is a combination of modern features and nostalgic aesthetics; the
perfect choice for trend seekers. Available in Ribbon Red and
Classic Black, this collection is ideal for anyone looking to
update their kitchen in a chic, classic style. The Retro Style
Coffeemaker is designed with an advanced showerhead technology for
improved coffee extraction that enhances flavor and a brewing
progress gauge which indicates the length of time the keep warm
feature has been active. The Retro Style 1.7L Electric Kettle has a
temperature gauge and quick boil indicator and the Retro Style 2
and 4-Slice Toasters have a timer that indicates how many minutes
it will take to make toast at the selected browning setting. For
added convenience, the toasters also include a removable warming
rack and a lift and look feature that allows you to check on toast
without canceling the cycle.
The Russell Hobbs’ Glass Accent Series brings a touch of
elegance to everyday households with top-of-the line performance
capabilities. The Glass Accent Coffeemaker integrates dual heating
elements for optimal performance and faster heat up time. Other
highlights include a digital clock and brew freshness timer that
indicates how long the carafe has been on the warming plate. The
Glass Accent 1.7L Electric Kettle features a drip-free pour spout,
lightweight lift and serve base that protects countertops, and
premium glass exterior with blue L.E.D. illumination on boil. The
Glass Accent 2-Slice Long Slot Toaster conveys a modern style with
its narrow shape and tempered glass accent with features including
a removable crumb tray, variable browning control and extra wide
slots for artisan breads, bagels and more.
RUSSELL HOBBS’ kitchen appliances range from $79.99-$129.99 and
are available now exclusively at Amazon.com, with other retailers
to be added in the coming months.
