It feels he averaged and more awkward than my previous Vektra but is nicer to look at.

Great kettle keeps water hot for a long time saves energy

boiled a full kettle at 7am, filled one mug from it, and 5 hours later, at 1230, the remaining water was still steaming and definitely hot enough to make more coffee with, but even if I had decided to reboil anyway, it would still take a fraction of the time and cost, compared to boiling from a room temperature start point. Its quieter than my old kettle too. I've had it just over a week, no problems so far, I love it.

HUGELY DISAPPOINTED! I've owned this for 5 weeks and its already stopped working. I'm desperately trying to work out how to return it however getting no luck. I ignored the previous comments believing that it was just bad luck, but I'm sure that the evidence now speaks for itself. there is clearly a design flaw.The overall thermos performance wasn't as good as i though it would be (maybe lasts a few hours) but certainly longer than a standard kettle and it is a good looking kettle. However, that is all pointless as IT DOESNT WORK.such a shame as the concept is brilliant and i was so excited to own this kettle.Don't Risk it

Don't Risk it

Great kettle! I'm so glad I took the risk and bought it.I've had this for 1 month at this point.Fast boil, even faster reboil if you feel it needs it because the water retains its heat. I have used the water 30min after a boil for tea, at that point it is still hot but you would want to drink it straight away. Up to 15min after boil the water is still good for a piping hot cuppa.It's not to loud.It is best to pour using 2 hands, one to hold the kettle, one to depress the cap but can be done one handed also.It is a little on the heavy side but I can't see this being a promlem unless you experience problems with your wrists.The water comes out in a controlled stream but if you want it to go faster, simply remove the lid.I bought the black model and was conserned it may be a bit invasive/dominant in the kitchen but it is actually quite subtle.It arrived fast and I have had no problems.I a busy mum and I'm in the house all day so this kettle gets a lot of use. I am loving not having to reboil the kettle every time I'm unable to make a cup of tea there and then. It is a great time and energy saver and I have no regrets over spending the extra money.

It's quite a nice kettle. It has been limited to 2500W presumably due to new EU regulations which IMHO don't make much sense.Anyway, the kettle is nice, it's aesthetically pleasing the design is good. There are no plastic bits apart from the spout / lid. And no plastic bits in direct contact with boiling water etc. I like the feel of it and the handle although my wife thinks it's quite heavy since we now boil an entire kettle worth of water rather than just the amount we want to use.Regarding it's vacuum insulation, this seems to work ok but not great. Case in point, I recently bought a £10 vacuum flask that completely seals and will keep my drink warm for many hours. 4 hours after making tea in it .. it was hot enough to burn my tongue. This kettle does work, and does keep liquid inside warm... but not very warm. The loss is more than 10 degrees C per hour. So after 4 hours the water is going to be around 50 degrees which is just barely warm enough for a cuppa. But having said that, I like it very much and it has reduced the amount of boiling we do in our house.As an extra geeky fun bit... we have a device that pumps excess heat into infra red heaters. I hook up this kettle to the device and boil an entire kettle of hot water first thing in the morning if there is enough solar power and then I get 1.7 litres of water that is heated for free and it's usually enough for both my wife an I to have our drinks in the morning , plus some left over as well that stays good enough to drink for about 2 - 3 hours.... up to 4 it's still warm but in my opinion not really warm enough for a cup of tea unless you instantly gulp it down.
