Russell Hobbs: UK’s number one kitchen appliance brand is now in the Philippines

Okay before I start to tell you about Russell Hobbs, let me first tell you how my husband and I started to live on our own.

When we got married, Noel was managing our small computer shop and doing online jobs at his parent’s house at Paco.  While I on the other hand was starting my career as a marketing trainee in the country’s top supermarket.

We did not have any items of our own in the house except for the gifts we have received on our wedding.  I guess, that is the advantage of living with parents or in our case, my in-laws.

After 2 years of being married, my in-laws passed away and the big house was left for Noel and I to manage.

Still, even after that, Noel and I with just the 2 of us managed to go through everyday without cooking for our own meal and thus we don’t mind if we don’t have much kitchen appliances in the house.  That is because his sister nearby has a cantina and we just get our food there.

But when Noel and I decided to buy a house here in Cavite and live on our own, that is when we realized that we do need kitchen appliances to help us.  There is no more nearby Ate’s carinderia to get our cooked food.

During our first year at our new home, I have bought cheap kitchen appliances from different brands and most of them didn’t last long.

I am not familiar with the brand Russell Hobbs, until it was introduced to the media and dealers a few weeks ago at Makati Shangrila Hotel.

I learned that Russell Hobbs Kitchen Appliances is the #1 kitchen appliance at UK.  When I saw the products I can say that they look elegant, and they will not be the #1 kitchen appliances in UK if the people there does not vouch for the brands durability and efficiency.

I thought that these items is the perfect partner for my kitchen when we are done renovating the house.

There are 4 designs that you can choose from: Kitchen Collection, Desire, Allure, and Illumina.

Offering high-quality everyday appliances at affordable prices, the Kitchen Collection features uncomplicated designs that are fully coordinated with breakfast and food preparation, refreshingly styled with white gloss finish and green accents.

The Desire collection showcases a more seductive look with the passionate cook in mind. It offers the same high-quality functionality but with a more striking appeal with its matte black finish and strokes of vibrant red.

The Allure collection exudes a sleek 21^st century design with a brushed chrome finish and the bold Russell Hobbs branding embossed on it.

While the top-of-the-line Illumina collection boasts of a unique color control light ring which changes color to represent speed with clear guidance on which setting is best for different food types.

“We are excited to bring to the country one of UK’s leading brands of small kitchen appliances known for its timeless style and performance. With this, we strongly believe that Russell Hobbs will be at the heart of Filipino homes from now on,” said Clarence Cu, president of Tocoms Philippines, exclusive Philippine distributor of Russell Hobbs.

Founded in Great Britain in 1952 by Bill Russell and Peter Hobbs, Russell Hobbs has been a household name in UK for more than 60 years. The brand is the first in the world to introduce the coffee pot with an automatic keep warm feature and the automatic electric kettle that revolutionized the kettle market.

With its range of premium small kitchen appliances that offer powerful and stylish solutions to everyday kitchen needs, Russell Hobbs is the perfect partner for life-starters who aim to make homes out of houses.

At the event, we were also treated to a sumptuous meal and a musical program that was nicely done.

Russell Hobbs’ exquisite line of small kitchen appliances is now available at SM Star Appliances, Ansons, Landmark Department Store, True Value, Ever Supermarket Store and Rustans nationwide.
