Save energy and money with Eco Kettle™ - the best selling eco gadget in the UK, at the lowest available price from EthicalSuperstore.com.
Until now, accurately measuring the amount of water to be boiled in your kettle has been all but impossible. The result? It is estimated that, on average, we boil twice the volume of water needed every time. Which means twice as much energy, twice as much time. With a 3kW kettle that's the same as wasting the energy of around 50 light bulbs!
The Eco Kettle is different: its internal reservoir holds a full capacity of water ready for use, while the measuring button allows any quantity - from a single cupful to full capacity - to be released into the separate chamber for boiling.
The result? Exactly the right amount of water every time you boil - and no more waste.
The Eco Kettle has been approved by the Good Housekeeping Institute and is recommended by Powergen as a pioneering product in the battle to save energy in the nation's homes. During independent consumer trials directed by the Energy Saving Trust, the Eco Kettle used over 30% less energy than standard kettles.
Eco Kettle features include:
- 3kW stainless steel concealed heating element
- Steam control and boil-dry protection
- Cordless; 360 degree base with cord storage
- Locking lid
- Washable limescale filter
- 230 volts AC
- 1.5 litre capacity
- 12 months warranty
Reviews:
As seen on NewsNight, Tonight With Trevor McDonald and featured in October's Organic Life Magazine, ' reduce your impact on the planet with an eco-kettle'.
Lucy Siegle wrote in the Observer "This is where the ecokettle comes in. I do know quite some conscientious eco-types who attempt only to boil what they need by measuring out the exact amount of water, but that always seems to end in some kind of teabreak drama, when either too much or too little water is boiled. They need this eco-kettle. An internal reservoir holds 1.5l
of water ready for use, while the measuring button allows any quantity from a single cupful to full capacity to be released into a separate chamber for boiling. So simple, I'm not sure why it hasn't been done before."

anonymous asked this question on 31st Oct 2008
Q: We tend to use mugs rather than cups in our house so my question is how do the cup measurements compare to mugs? ie would filling to the 3 cup measurement be right for 2 mugs? thank you
A: As there isn't a standard mug (or indeed cup) size it's difficult to say with precision. What we would suggest is a little experimentation. You can dispense water into the boiling chamber - starting with the 3 cup mark for your two mugs - then without boiling (let's not waste electricity) pour into your mugs - this will enable you to quickly assess whether you need to add more or less water according to your particular preference before proceeding to boil.

kevin asked this question on 23rd Nov 2007
Q: Does this kettle really boil water hot?
A: Yes. Eco Kettle boils water to 100 degrees c. The insulated internal tank stops the remaining cold water from affecting the boiling temperature.
