Russell Hobbs 24360 Inspire Electric Kettle, 3000 W Fast Boil, 1.7 Litre, White with Chrome Accents

Product Information

If you are left-handed, the 360° base comes in hand when using this kettle. Some of the safety features include a codeless base with non-slip stands and a lift-off lid. The only downside is that the reflective silver surface needs the occasional wipe-down, but this only takes a couple of seconds while your tea is brewing. Offering the option to boil just 250ml of water, the Ninja Perfect Temperature Kettle KT200UK can efficiently deliver hot water for one, while the competition’s minimum is usually twice that amount. With preset and manual temperature controls, the kettle is supremely flexible, allowing tea and coffee lovers to brew their drinks at the correct temperature. Do not boil your water via the hob– instead of your kettle, this typically costs more as it takes longer to reach boiling point

It has a leak-proof button that ensures there is no spillage in case the kettle falls over. The built-in thermostat ensures the kettle turns off when it gets to the boiling point, thus saving energy. This also an excellent choice for anyone looking for a kettle that suits various kitchen designs, or if they are left-handed, thanks to the 360° base. The pour spout ensures there are fewer or no spills when boiling. The overflow holes, on the hand, allows any water droplets generated from the steam to flow out. There is a stainless steel filter that will come in handy for anyone using hard water. Are you ready to go eco with your electric kettle and save water and energy? We have made your shopping time easier by selecting and personally testing out some of the best energy efficient kettles in the UK. We also state the minimum boil amount: 500ml is the norm, but some kettles let you boil 250ml, which is about a mug’s worth of hot water. The lower the limit, the better, as you only have to boil the right amount of water for a job. This is a 3kW kettle, which means it boils as fast as UK electricity will allow. It boiled 250ml of water in just 48 seconds, from start to finish.A keep-warm function ensures the water retains its temperature long after it has boiled. Depending on the kettle, the water can be warm for 20 minutes to 2 hours. Hidden Element In short, this means that two different sized appliances with the same energy rating may actually have different running costs. Do fast kettles use more energy?

There are two main ways to save electricity when using a kettle. First, only boil the amount of water you need. As such, a kettle that has a clear window and water scale makes it easier to fill to the level you need. This 1.7-litre kettle (500ml minimum boil) is fast thanks to its 3kW element: it took 1m 17s to boil 500ml of water in our tests. Our only real complaint is that the lid-open button isn’t very well placed and it takes two hands to open the lid: one to press the button and one to hold the kettle.The amount of energy your kettle uses is determined by a variety of factors including the energy efficiency rating of the model, and how many litres of water it can hold. There is the removable limescale filter that ensures your kettle works efficiently even when using hard water. The hidden heating element also makes it easy for you to clean the kettle. It has a360° base that makes it an excellent choice for all users. We are not forgetting its triple safety system that has boil-dry protection, automatic shut-off, and the ability to switch-off when lifted.

Its large capacity of 1.7 litres ensures you save energy. And, for safety purposes, this kettle has boil-dry protection and auto shut-off features. It is also cordless with a 360° base that we found easy to use with both our left hands and right hands. The heating element is hidden, which makes it easy to clean. That aside, if you want a small kettle that can get to multiple temperatures, this is a good choice. It’s fairly easy to use, too: hit the 100°C button to boil; hit 85°C to start at this temperature, and then the + button to increase temperature by 5°C. Our only complaint is that 85°C is quite a high starting temperature, which is good enough for hot drinks but not, for example, baby bottles. Still, as the screen shows the current temperature on the screen, a boil can be interrupted manually at a lower level. Ignore anything you read about faster-boiling kettles. Converting electricity into heat is extremely easy, so all kettles will have similar efficiency figures. And since UK plugs house a maximum of a 13-amp fuse, the most energy a kettle can draw is 3kW. There’s only a 2.2kW heating element here, so this is isn’t the fastest kettle. In our tests it took 1m 40s to boil 500ml of water. More impressive, the WeeKett Smart Wi-Fi Kettle retains heat well, so you won’t have to reboil it often.

Moreover, its 1.7-litre capacity is great for gatherings big and small, as is the fact it can boil one cup at a time for ultimate precision, or if things need to be done on a person-by-person basis. The Structure Kettle is also a fast boiler, taking roughly two and a half minutes for a litre, four minutes for full capacity and for one cup, just 45 seconds. Duronic’s EK42 is one of the best eco-friendly technology kettles in the market. Why? For starters, it has an eco rapid boil feature with 2.5 – 3 KW that saves energy. The temperature control feature makes it possible to choose different boiling temperatures. And, its keep warm feature retains the water temperature up to 30-minutes – we tested this to confirm it. You can also boil your preferred amount of water, plus the transparent window makes it easy to see the water level gauge. Top of our must-have list is that it’s easy is it to hold, fill and pour. If you often refill a kettle as soon as it has boiled, choose one with a flip-top lid you don’t have to take off manually. This is really important to avoid the risk of scalding yourself on steam when you open it.

To ensure that each kettle works properly, we measure the time to boil 1-litre of water and the kettle when full. There is a quite boil function that is 75% quieter compared to other Russel Hoobs kettles. The illuminating feature turns blue when the water comes to a boil. The colourful and yet subtle copper ombre will bring a touch of elegance to your eco kitchen.
