Apparently, the average Brit gets through about 4 cups of tea a day. I’m certainly bang in the middle of that average; 2 in the morning, 1 in the afternoon and a peppermint tea at night. Obviously, a kettle is used for more than just cups of tea, but that’s normally what I associate it with as just spotting it in my kitchen kindles a desire to have a cuppa in my hands. When I received the Eco Kettle 2, it looks just how I wanted it to. Smooth and sleek with a modern chrome finish, satisfyingly making a great match with my toaster! I like it’s design and appreciate the unusually detailed volume display. It is definitely heavier than my last kettle, but that doesn’t bother me, it’s nice and sturdy.

What really stands out about the Eco Kettle is quite simply that it makes me think about what I’m doing. Having recently invested in an Owl CM119, I know just how much energy a kettle uses to run – it’s possibly the most expensive appliance in the house! The dual-chambered design of the Eco Kettle awakens my internal energy monitor, reminding me to be energy-efficient in my kettle boiling and only heating enough for one cup, with the added bonus of ensuring the tea-making process is much quicker! When transferring water from one chamber to another, it’s impossible not to think about how much water it takes to make a cup of tea!

It’s not just when I’m boiling water either, the infectious eco-friendly nature of this kettle has changed my outlook on only using what I need. It sits there, (begging me for a brew) in all the appearance of a normal kettle, but subtly serves as a powerful reminder of our responsibility to be more minimalistic in our daily routine.

Disappointing kettle

Rated 2 out of 5
Submitted by wiimixer on 27th Oct 2009
I bought the Eco Kettle 2 recently, and have been generally disappointed. Firstly, it clicks off when 'boiled', but the water is not as hot as any of the kettles I have used before. There's steam, so it's hit 100 degs! But somehow it's just not hot enough, which is a pretty big deal for a kettle. Secondly, the lid looks closed when it's not. It requires a firm push to properly close it, otherwise it doesn't click off at boiling point. Obviously I'll become accustomed to checking this, but I anticipate getting caught out from time to time, and visitors will need a walkthrough! Finally, the guide to no. of cups is taking some getting used to. My cups are all more than the suggested 200ml, so I'm back to guessing the amount to fill, and regularly finding I'm coming up short. Suppose that's boiling less water though, so it earns the Eco tag one way or another! And on the genuine plus side, it does boil quickly and quietly.

Very poor quality and disappointing

We bought this kettle after a good deal of research into the most efficient, and were hoping for something that would last a good few years. We were immediately disappointed by how flimsy and insubstantial it was. We were even more disappointed by the fact that it seems to use far more electricity than necessary by failing to switch itself off for up to 10 seconds after the water was boiling violently. The water doesn't seem to move very effectively from one chamber to another, with some water remaining in the first one despite holding down the knob as directed. Water leaks from the lid when being poured, and from another unidentified point leaving the stand wet; and within less than three months, the knob has broken, which means that both chambers are boiled ever time, defeating the entire object. Very poor quality, wouldn't recommend at all.

CAROLINE asked this question on 21st Sep 2009

Q: is the measurement of water transferred in cups or mugs

A: The product features a scale based on 200ml cups, however you can fill to boil, and then dispense boiled water, in any amount which you have judged by eye (i.e. there is no fixed interval / quantity) as long it is above 200ml (which is the minimum safe quantity which can be boiled.)
So if your favourite mug requires water about a third of the way between the one an two cup scale lines this won't be a problem.
Hope this helps.

Lynda asked this question on 21st Sep 2009

Q: What design features have been changed from the original Eco-Kettle? I have one and love it apart from the shape (tapering towards top, which makes it difficult to pour into certain containers).

A: The Eco Kettle 2 has been designed with a longer lasting, more reliable heating element, and quieter boiling. The spout has been redesigned to give more controlled and accurate pouring, and the chrome version uses a plated ABS shell, giving a stylish appearance but without too much weight, remaining much cooler than a metal body.
I hope this helps, Jo.

AndrewD asked this question on 19th Oct 2009

Q: How tall is this kettle (including the base)? How much room above it is needed to operate the "plunger"? We have a counter with a cupboard above it and I want to make sure it would fit underneath. Thanks Andrew

A: Hi, the Eco Kettle 2 measures approximately 32cm high including the base. The plunger on the kettle does not move like a plunger on a cafetiere, but more like a gearstick moving backwards and forwards. This means you don't have to allocate any extra space for the kettle. Hope this helps, Robyn.
