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

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.
