    Kettle Black

    Any Pots?

  • too expensive

  • $70 more than the toaster I never got

  • how hot does it make water?

    • used to think more expensive kettles made water hotter… but latently have been taught otherwise

      • microwaves can superboil water though

    From my comment on the other deal for the other colour:

    We have the slightly more advanced one with buttons here at work and it's the worst kettle any of us have ever used.

    Removing the lid to re-fill the kettle after a boil is annoying and a bit dangerous as steam builds up underneath it and as the lid is held in place by pressure when you remove it you need to 'pop' it off the kettle so it sprays hot water around the place.

    The kettle's shape means the fill level indicator on the side isn't in regular increments, around 60% of the kettle's volume is in the bottom 40% of it's total height so you think you need to fill it up all the time, and the very first indicator is 1L, right at the bottom of the kettle, of a 1.7L kettle.

    The beep from ours is STUPID loud, and shrill, it's awful. Have a google for other people hacking the base to stop it, or at least muffle the beep. We had it in a kitchen with all hard surfaces and it actually hurt to listen to. We've since moved it to a larger office with a carpeted floor and high ceilings and it's now bearable.

    It pours really badly, if you need to fill something quickly, the thing starts spurting as it has no way to get air in to fill the missing volume fast enough so it splashes the boiled water.

    Edit: oh yeah, AND it's really slow.

    Don't buy this trash.
