Fastboil cordless mini kettle

Tealblue

An elderly friend finds full-sized electric kettles quite difficult to pick up/pour from and much prefers mini kettles. He has been trying to find one which boils quickly - most of them seem to be quite low wattage and take ages, even when only filled with enough water for one mug of tea.

I've had a look on ebay and Amazon and can't readily spot anything which fits the bill. Please could anyone help by pointing me in the direct of a cordless electric kettle which is fast boiling?

Many thanks.

Camping kettle and stove top.

Alternatively a small instant hot water boiler.

The cordless ones are the full size ones. Has he thought about something like this - http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4230429.htm?store=260&cmpid=GS001&_$ja=tsid:59157|cid:337401273|agid:26938239513|tid:pla-186604322433|crid:84385449393|nw:g|rnd:17276651050197826844|dvc:c|adp:1o5&gclid=CLrqstvZw88CFQkq0wodpUsLTA

He has an electric stove, so a stovetop kettle would take even longer to boil by the time the ring has heated up!

I tried him out on the boiling water dispensers, but the problem is that they don't dispense boiling water - just 'very hot' (despite what they promise), which he maintains doesn't make a decent cup of tea. I guess at 93 he's entitled to take a view on that!!

It was very kind of you both to reply, but I had so hoped someone might know of a small electric kettle which boils quickly - but perhaps they just don't exist.

Not all are full size. This one is cordless, boils fast (2.2W) and should do the trick: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002GMZ0KU?ref_=ams_ad_dp_asin_2

I have this Dualit 1 litre cordless kettle (mine is in Canvas White) and it is excellent. Not the cheapest but I've had mine for about three years and it serves me well.

Looks ideal - thank you so much. I've just spotted John Lewis sell it with a two year guarantee, so will order from them.

Aren't Dualit kettles rather heavy?

[Deleted User]

The larger Dualit kettle may be heavy, Haffiana, but my small 1 litre version is really quite light and very manageable. It probably is not as light as the very small plastic travel kettles but I find it quite quick to boil (especially one or two cups) and it has been really reliable.

Hi I am on my 3rd dualit kettle bought the extra replacement guarantee from Argos this time as 12 months is no good considering the cost of the kettle they look nice but for me don't last.
