How do you rate this e-View? This e-View is rated: Helpful (0) Passionate (0) I had purchased the original Eco Kettle, some years ago. When it gave up the ghost, I brought old kettle back into service, but quickly realised I had grown accustomed to being able to fill the kettle but boil only what I needed. In less than a day, I realised I needed another Eco Kettle! These are brilliant. I would recommend that next time you replace your kettle,do yourself a favour and buy an Eco Kettle!

How do you rate this e-View? This e-View is rated: Helpful (0) Passionate (0) The new design for the Eco kettle is not a patch on the original design. The inner chamber barely holds enough water for 2 full cups which means you have to refill and boil which is hardly cost effective. I haven't mastered how to boil up both chambers but when my husband tried the boiling water overflowed. These were problems we never encountered with the old design. It might just be me, but I do like straightforward.

How do you rate this e-View? This e-View is rated: Helpful (0) Passionate (0) Very quick boiling of just one cup of water, only drawback is that it does need quite a forceful push down on the plunger so may be difficult for some people.
How do you rate this e-View? This e-View is rated: Helpful (0) Passionate (0) We alreay had an original model Eco-kettle, which shorted out with a big bank and smoke! The new model is cosmetically different, pours better, but somehow seems to drip water down the side which tends to gather between kettle and base, because the base is not curved like the original to esure water runs off. Otherwise, so far, so good. We are enthusiasts for the eco- principle of the kettle.

How do you rate this e-View? This e-View is rated: Helpful (0) Passionate (0) The eco kettle makes it easy to boil only the water you need at that point in time, saving your cash and the environment. Anyone who cares about these things should use one. The kettles build quality is excellent and it is cheap for the features it offers. a no brainer I'd say.
How do you rate this e-View? This e-View is rated: Helpful (0) Passionate (0) The kettle is a bit big and heavy but you can be very precise about what you boil whcih does save time and energy. Having the reservoir is also useful as you can 'store' spare water from a filter jug in it when you top that up - they work well together. I was surprised however that it takes a long time to turn off automatically which seems to reduce the economic/envirnmental benefits. (I'm also trying to work out if it has a very slight leak or not...)

Verified product owner I agree with previous posting, I also had EK1 which was very good and this version is not as good as the first version. It only allows a small amount of water in the boiling part, which means that you have to boil the kettle more times, which defeats the object. Can we have Eco Kettle 1 back please.
How do you rate this e-View? This e-View is rated: Helpful (2) Passionate (0) I needed a new kettle some months ago and after much research settled on an electronic eco kettle because it boils water to a variety of temperatures -I am a herbal & green tea drinker. The kettle took a little getting used to, but was fine so long as you remember the steps of filling the separate reservoir and then filling the water level to the amount of water you need to boil. Then it stopped working, or rather stopped boiling the water. I got in touch with the manufacturer direct even though I had bought the product from another shop, and they responded promptly. Then went into hospital and had to ring again when I came out. No nonsense about going back to where I had bought it;after a few questions they sent me by return of post a new base unit foc, and now all is working fine again. I would not recommend this kettle if you have young children or careless people using it, as it seems complicated even if it is not, but for boiling the exact amount of water to the exact temperature it's great.

Love the Eco Kettle, we had one in the office for ages. The newest Eco Kettle has a redesigned hand pump to fill the water chamber, much more ergonomic than the original Eco Kettle, the shape reminds me of a gear shift from my old Porsche Boxster, well at least the one I saw on Top Gear last year!
How do you rate this e-View? This e-View is rated: Helpful (0) Passionate (0) This is not a kettle for anyone who uses a teapot! It is impossible to boil enough water to fill the pot and top it up for the second cup. As a teapot not only makes the best tea, but does it in a far less wasteful way than the horrid 'bag in a cup' method, it seems a pity that using a pot means that I have to boil the kettle twice. It does however, boil very quickly.rnI echo the views of others who have said that this kettle is very heavy when full, and that it spits when boiling, even if the water is at the max line.rnHaving bought it, I'll stick with it until it dies, but I won't be buying another I'm afraid.
How do you rate this e-View? This e-View is rated: Helpful (3) Passionate (0) We bought ours in September 2008 and recently a leak has developed from the main water container, and the leak is getting worse so it will have to go as I suspect it isn't economical to repair it. We are not impressed. What to replace it with though.
How do you rate this e-View? This e-View is rated: Helpful (3) Passionate (0) I bought this kettle based on being very satisfied with the previous version. Unfortunately, this kettle does not really match up to its predecssor. It has a tendency to leak when pouring, and is awkward to use. This is a shame, as the previous version was excellent.
How do you rate this e-View? This e-View is rated: Helpful (10) Passionate (0) I have given this kettle several months of use before writing this, in case it just took getting used to. I like it less and less. It is awkward to use, the water bubbles over the top as it boils, even if the maximum level is not exceeded; the amount of water in the kettle is hard to see; it pours badly and splurts everywhere. It has a small capacity, OK I should have realised this before buying it, and, as the previous writer stated, it is heavy when full. I am eager to buy a 'normal' kettle and simply return to putting in the amount of water I need. I think this is 'greenwash' at it's worst. I am, by the way, generally easily pleased!
How do you rate this e-View? This e-View is rated: Helpful (11) Passionate (0) I have had my eco-kettle for some time. It is not as good as I had hoped, being rather heavy when full. However, I'm sure it has helped reduce the electricity bill. Even my husband now uses less water when making tea/coffee.

Q: Apart from design, is this any different from the original Ecokettle? Does the way it works differ? I notice the knob on the top is different so would like to know how it works in comparison with my current model. Thanks
A: The Eco Kettle 2 has been designed with a longer lasting, more reliable heating element, 2.2kW rather than the 3kW element in the original Eco Kettle. The spout has been redesigned to give more controlled and accurate pouring, and it also boils more quietly. However the essentail premise is the same - the Eco Kettle is intended to give you greater control over the amount of water that you boil, thus reducing energy consumption
I hope this helps, Jo.

Yvette asked this question on 22nd Sep 2009
Q: Some new kettles are heating water to 80 degrees which is supposedly the best temperature for herbal tea drinkers. Does this kettle do that?
A: The Eco Kettle does not have variable temperature settings, but you might be interested to check out the Morphy Richards Ecolectric Kettle which heats to boiling or 85° according to preference.
I hope this helps, Jo.

Eskay asked this question on 29th Sep 2009
Q: Is the kettle rated more highly for low usage of energy or for ability to boil small amounts efficiently?
A: The new Eco Kettle has a more reliable and longer lasting 2.2kW stainless steel concealed element. And as Eco Kettle users generally boil less water than traditional kettle users, this reduces energy consumption too.

Q: Is the Eco-kettle BPA free?
A: Hi, BPA is associated with Polycarbonate plastics, and the Eco Kettle does not contain any of these types of plastics, so yes, it is free from BPA!
The Eco Kettle is principally manufactured from high grade, virgin Polypropylene which has been used to manufacture drinking water containers of different types for decades.
I hope this helps.
