So far as features go, the kettle is very much up to modern standards. It provides a rapid boil using a powerful 3kW element which is concealed underneath the kettle's floor. The design is cordless which gives you more flexibility with moving it around. The spout has been designed to provide a targeted pour, whilst ensuring minimal drips and spills. The kettle also features a removable and washable limescale filter to keep your drinks looking and tasting good. We go into more detail later.
