Vektra Vacuum Eco Kettle - 1 Series - 1.5 Ltr Brushed Stainless Steel

Bought for work as do not like plastic taint from plastic and some other stainless kettles I have used. Vacuum feature excellent water stays hot longer. Boils fast ,no bad smells or tastes. Down sides kettle is heavy, pours drip free but slowly, lid must be unscrewed a small amount to remove to enable filling.

Hugely over packaged with plastic covers for everything and protected by polystyrene. The kettle is fine, the button to pour is deeply annoying as its very slow and it takes 6 mins to boil a full kettle. Keeping it warm though is handy. I would suggest a flask and a normal kettle for anyone thinking of this product.rn

We bought a Vektra vacuum kettle from Ethical Superstore. We were pleased with the kettle but rather shocked by the packaging. The kettle was protected in its box by polystyrene blocks, which cannot be disposed of in an environmentally responsible way. Surely the manufacturer could find a better alternative for example shaped cardboard?

Best investment purchase I have made so far for the kitchen! I've had it for 6 months now and it has made a huge difference. rnDo you ever boil a kettle and forget about it? You come back and have to re-boil for your tea. This kettle keeps the water hot for hours so you don't have to re-boil. Have a cup of tea and an hour later have another or use the water to cook food straight away without having to wait. It's excellent! And energy saving! rnThe kettle is a bit heavier than usual, boiled water lasts about 3/4 hours. I haven't noticed any limescale yet, apparently I can be less than usual because the element is covered. The appearance is simple and smart steel.rnGreat kettle!
