Kettles

What to do, you may or not remember i posted just before Xmas about the tefal one cup it was meant to be money saving and energy saving blah blah blah ends up it was a lot of **** and i have took it back to the store this week as the noise it made was horrendous sounded like it would blow up.

But now i have the problem with what kettle to buy.

When i took the tefal back to argos i had a look at there other Eco kettle but the only difference was that it had water lines on it to help you boil the correct amount so really as i do that anyway there was nothing eco friendly or money saving about it.

so now i have no idea what sort of kettle to buy I don't want to spend tons but want a nice kettle so any offers of advice or recommendations would be appreciated

Hi there, I have just swapped over to a whistling kettle that you put on the hob in an attempt to get my lecky bill down. Apart from that, no other suggestions...sorry

It really depends on your taste. Maybe you should ask on the I wanna board if you have something specific in mind.

The most energy efficient types have a concealed elements so you can add only a cup of water. Also do not get one that keeps the water warm or that glows a thousand colours all the time.

The higher the wattage the faster the boil. Go for a 3000w. The higher wattage does not mean less efficient in this case as a lower wattage one would just take longer to boil. The overall energy used would even out.

Have a look at some of the user reviews on Amazon as some kettles spit hot water. Mine does this. You have to let it stand for a moment to calm the water down.
