A 650W Travel Kettle that’s both compact and practical. Suitable for boiling up to 2 cups worth of water at a time, this kettle has a dual voltage (110/240V) element, ensuring that the boil time is consistent with either power supply. Featuring a removable & washable scale filter to prevent limescale from entering your drinks, this kettle also includes many safety features, including an auto switch off and boil-dry protection. A large water window lets you easily monitor how much water is in your kettle, while 2 cups and spoons are included to let you get started straight away. Plug not moulded.
Customer Reviews
great little kettle
I'm really pleased with this kettle it's the perfect size for 2, and boils very quickly. The lead isn't too short and it comes with 2 little cups which fit inside the kettle - the cups don't have handles but the plastic is very thick so shouldn't burn your hands. The only downsides are that you can't disconnect the power lead from the kettle and you have to manually change the voltage which is underside the kettle - just twist from 222/240 to 110 voltage. However these are minor matters, bottom line is it works, it's small and it pours well
Good little kettle
For a travel kettle what did I want?
Compact - yes, Lightweight - yes
Reasonable time to boil - yes. Note the instructions state 5 mins for 240v and nearly 6 mins for 110v. Given the 450ml (0.8 pint for silver surfers) and the 650 watt heating element these times are to be expected from simple physics. First boil took just under 5 mins but the water was room temperature to begin with.
So if you are away on holiday and using bottled water dont use water from the fridge if you want your hot drink in 5 mins!
Cups and spoons - bonus. The cups have no handles but are thick plastic with an even thicker rim at the top. So they don't get 'too hot to hold'. The cups and spoons fit inside the kettle for transport. This leave a small space for a sachet or two of coffee or sugar - but not enough for an instant 'latte' pouch.
Overall - a 'GOOD' 4* kettle.
Excellent product
This product is neat and does the job very nicely.
We found that the amount of water needed to fill the 2 cups supplied with it didn't take that long to boil.
I estimate that it paid for itself on our first week's holiday in savings avoiding buying hotel drinks!
