Vektra Kettle, Series 1 in Black/red, vacuum insulated environmentally eco-friendly kettle, stainless steel finish, 1.7 litre

I didn't think you could get excited about a kettle but this one is great! Had it 2 days, so review so far .....Its not a rapid boil, but then it doesn't need to be. It really does keep the water hot enough to make tea / coffee for a good few hours (I've not timed it properly) so as soon as I fancy a cup I can make one instantly. Its perfect for me as I tend to put the kettle on, go back to the laptop and do some work then forget I was making a hot drink and have to start the cycle again, but no more, as soon as I remember I was making a coffee the kettle is still hot enough and for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th....(I drink too much coffee) cup there's no waiting for the kettle to boil.All the interior is stainless steel (except the underside of the lid) and no plastic water gauge. When the water is poured it does go through a plastic spout but that is the only time the water is in contact with plastic.I saw another review mention a slow pour, but I've not found that to be the case.I was concerned I may not be able to pour and press the release lever as I've only got small hands but actually its not a problem at all.Unexpected plus side - I've not noticed any steam escape the kettle during the boil so it doesn't matter where I sit the kettle (eg: under wall cupboards) as condensation no longer an issue.Minor downside - the kettle is a little on the heavy side when empty, which isn't a problem for me but may be for others. I was worried when I first got it out of the box but after using it the weight is fine.If I have any problems I'll update the review but so far I'm really happy.

Review after 4 years: excellent product, keeps the water hot for hours, even in an unheated kitchen in winter. I have no hesitation in boiling a full kettle knowing I am not wasting energy. Yes its probably 3p to boil a kettle so the saving is not huge but for me its about not having to wait for the thing to boil between zoom meetings.The 1.2 litre is a bit on the small side maybe 3 or 4 cups and especially when it is not full the angle you have to pour at, the steam hits your hand (would have been 5 stars but for this). The insulated lid means that without removing the lid it does not pour very fast.

It pours really well once the lid is easily taken off. Indeed all 1.5 litres can be poured in a few seconds without spillage. It also reduces the irritation of the wife switching the kettle on, then walking away, only to come back 20 minutes later and repeat the operation as it keeps the water pretty hot or at least reduces the power necessary to reboil the water.

These are great kettles when they are working. Problem is that we got our first one in May 2016, that died less than four years later in January 2020. We then ordered a replacement in Jan. 2020, that barely lasted nine months.Amazon were very good about replacing the most recent casualty free of charge, it is hardly helping the environment, or ones personal finances, if you have to keep renewing the product and generating waste.The KSP is the ability to keep water warm, so if like most people, you boil a full kettle for a cup of tea, then after 10 minutes top up the pot for a second and then a third cup, you don't neet to reheat the water from scratch.Unfortunately, these are expensive kettles so energy saving benefits are cancelled out if you have to keep buying new ones. We have had £25 kettles that lasted longer than four years.Message to Grunwerg, potentially great product, but product longevity needs to improve in order to justify the price tag and the eco label.

Others have mentioned issues with the lid and I agree with them. I also found the rate of pouring water from the kettle slow. My big gripe is the angle at which the kettle has to be held to pour. It's so steep that my hand ends up in the rising steam from the spout.It's going back and will be replace by an ordinary kettle plus an air pot, which will achieve the same energy saving.

Good kettle but does have some flaws1st you have limited capacity about 4 decent cups2 there is a button which lets the water out could be better positionedTakes 4 mins approximately from cold to boilOn the heavy sideOn the plus side uses under half the power of our old kettle approximately 1.3 kW instead of 3kwOnce it's boiled you can't boil the kettle until it goes cold enough saving more energy so know one can re boil the kettleStays warm for quite some time so the water if re boiled takes no time at allNo steam at all so no kids getting scalded and kettle was knocked over when hot and full but didn't leak very impressed great if you have kids like meIn all a good buy at the discount price fast delivery well thought out product far more positives than negatives worth the money

Wanted to love this as an eco product. And there is much to commend it for keeping water warm in what is essentially a kettle thermos flask. BUT, the product produces a lot of steam under pressure from the closed spout during boiling. This worsens over time so that the cut off for boiling begins to fail and it steams for ages - we had mould growing on the ceiling as a result. And eventually the cut off failed altogether and it never stops boiling even with the on light off. we've had to thorw it away after two years and two months. For £70 I want a kettle that lasts longer. As such it isn't eco.

Had this for almost 11 months and is used multiple times a day.At 1.2l it holds enough for 4 mugs with reboil time minimal even after a couple of hours. Not sure why there are complaints about it not holding a lot, it's 1.2l, what did you expect?Looks good and easy to fill with max fill bar clearly visible. It has a twist on/off lid which you get used to very quickly as you do with having to depress the pour button on the lid while, well pouring. I've used it that much the Lock and Open indicators are all but gone but not a problem.The reason is said it was almost the best kettle is down to 2 minor issues, not enough not to give it 5 stars, which could be rectified if they ever make a Mk2.1. The spout design gives an untidy pour which leads to some splashing out the mug when you get near the top.2. The rubber grommets/screw seals on the top of the kettle body have a tendency to pop out when opening the lid. Easy enough to put back but a bit annoying when they fall into the kettle itself.Would highly recommend, get one.

Optisch sehr ansprechend und auch nicht so überdimensional. Gute Warmhalteleistung über ca. 4 Stunden. Allerdings braucht er verhältnismäßig lange und ist auch relativ laut, daher ein Punktabzug.

ممتازه وعمليه

Franchement, l'eau refroidit vite, le côté isotherme est sans doute difficile à conjuger directement dans la bouilloire

احببته في المنتج انها ١٢٠٠ واط ماتستهلك للكهرببس فيها عيب انه تبرد المنتج
