"Exactly The Right Amount Of Water Every Time You Boil! Until now accurately measuring the amount of water to be boiled in a kettle has been all but impossible. The result? It is estimated that on average we boil twice the volume of water needed every time. Which means twice as much energy twice as much time. With a 3kW kettle that?s the same as wasting the energy of around 50 light bulbs! The ECO Kettle is different: the internal reservoir holds 1.5 litres of water ready for use while the measuring button allows any quantity from a single cupful to the full capacity to be released into a separate chamber for boiling. The result? Exactly the right amount of water every time you boil and no more waste. ""If everyone boiled only the water they needed to make a cup of tea instead of 'filling' the kettle every time we could save enough electricity to run practically all the street lighting in the U.K."" -The Department of Environment Food and Rural Affairs. A great gift idea for environmentally active friends Why stop at recycling the odd bottle? Make this everyday task more environmentally friendly - effortlessly! 3.0kW stainless steel concealed element Otter steam control and boil-dry protection Cordless 360 Degree base with cord storage Locking lid Illuminated on-off switch Washable limescale filter 230 Volts AC 1.5 litre capacity Conforms to EN60335"

Perfect for couples and singles
By Chris in the kitchenVerified Reviewer from Llanwrtyd Wells - World Bog Snorkelling on 11/24/2007
Pros:
Boils Quickly, Can 'fill' but use little, Clear Boiling Indicator, Comfortable Grip, Exact quantity easily, Tight Lid
Best Uses:
Boiling water for cooking, Instant Coffee, Tea
Describe Yourself:
Home all day tea drinker
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I like being able to fill the kettle yet only use a small amount at a time. The kettle can be heavy and probably difficult for those with weak wrists/arthritis. Boils quite quickly and easy to see how much is in the holding tank and how much in the 'kettle' for boiling. 360 degree base. Lid could be easier to open but it hasn't been a problem. Could be a problem for anyone with some immobility in their hands.

For economy, I like the kettle but I can see places where the design could be improved for some users. I don't think I would consider buying if I had a family or regularly boiled large quantities of water.
