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

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."

Our family is committed to eco-friendly solutions to everyday life, so the eco-kettle fitted the bill perfectly. We've had the kettle for over 12 months now and we really like it. It boils the right amount of water quickly and has indubitably saved electricity and money. On the down side; my wife can find it heavy when full, the cup measures are for cups and not mugs (which is what we tend to use). We've also learnt to keep the kettle tlted to release steam whilst moving between cups otherwise it tends to spit hot water out of the spout. A small design change could resolve this. Overall we very happy with the product.
The kettle is a good energy saving device, and would be very useful in a staffroom, with people coming in at different times for a drink and boiling water for one cup at a time.It is limited when we have a houseful and want to make a full pot of tea,as the maximum capacity is not sufficient. Pouring is also a problem at times as the shape of the spout can cause an airlock, and we have nearly been scalded several times from boiling water. The idea is good and the minimum boil saves a lot of energy, so on balance I'd recommend it.
i have been using this kettle now for a good few weeks.
yes, i do find it heavier to lift than my old one, and you need to tip it further, that might be because my last kettle was a fiver job from a supermarket though :)
apart from that its great - very well made, stylish and a real talking point in my kitchen. it is also A LOT faster at boiling water than other kettles. sometimes i don't have the rest of the tea ready before it has clicked !!
a great buy, good price and really worth it. i will be recommending this product to others
This Kettle doesn't win any awards for being aesthetically pleasing (particularly as our previous defunct kettle was a brushed metal type) but it does deliver on functionality. Yes it's quirky and you do need to get used to how it operates but we all need to revisit our day-to-day lifestyles and take responsibility for saving energy and water and this seems a small sacrifice to make. It does a great job and so far we've had no problems (if you have researched this kettle you'll have seen that there have been apparent reports, albeit of an earlier version/model, of issues regarding pouring). Some folk have said that it's a little on the heavy side but frankly we've not found that to be the case - perhaps this is because our previous kettle was metal-bodied. We'd heartily recommend.
I have no idea how much money and frustration this kettle has saved me. I simply could NOT convince the kids to put the amount of water in the kettle that they needed. Now they have to make a conscious decision and guess what. It works! As the kettle was a gift I saved even more money! I am working hard to try to make the whole house carbon neutral and as the kettle in this house is seldom cold, this has gone some way towards making that a reality.
This kettle looks good, and does what it says on the promotional materials.
However, what I did not realise is that the kettle would be so heavy and unbalanced (compared to regular kettles) when the reservoir is full, nor is it a "good pourer".
My partner, who has arthritis in his hands, finds the kettle more difficult to use than a regular kettle.
Finally, if you already have a kettle that shows you how much water you are about to heat up, and you only heat up the quantity you need, then the single advantage of this product is that it will save you walking to the tap to fill the kettle up so many times in a day!
