    I second Meepster on the Quooker. 35 sold in 2.5 years including one at home and one in the showroom. Not one fault.

  • Can they be retrofitted into an existing solid worktop? Only you never know if the scratchcards will pay off, then I can get one ;):D

    Yup, just needs a hole drilling in the worktop, not a problem at all :)
    If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

    Although I have never had one or seen one they are totally rubbish. Just get a kettle.

    Hope that helps!

    P.S. anyone know if it is really bad to have the kettle under the kitchen cupboards we don't really have anywhere else for ours :-(

    If you havent heard or seen one, how do you know anything about them - rubbish or otherwise?

    It was just a bit of banter if you read the thread they want convincing they don't need one!

    I'm not sure where I got the idea from, but it's in my head that it's not a good idea due to steam maybe damaging the cupboards? I know the edging is splitting a bit on the end panels either side of the cooker hood, so I reckon that's from the steam. Just trying to avoid it if I can place the kettle elsewhere, but the best place is below the cupboards....
  • Are they very energy efficient if they are constantly keeping water boiling hot?

    As they only boil the water you actually need they are quite efficient.
