VektraVEK-1504 Vacuum Insulated Easy Pour Cordless Kettle with Temperature Selection Indicator Gauge, 1.5 Litre, Stainless Steel

Bought this kettle to help me use my solar panels more efficiently. I boil the water in the evening before the sun goes down and its still 40-50 degrees the next morning after 10 hours. Great way to save power. I measured the savings compared to my old kettle, in a week it uses about a third less but crucially it now runs almost completely off my pv system.

Der Wasserkocher funktioniert einwandfrei. Hervorzuheben ist die einstellbare Temperatur und die Restwärmeanzeige bei aufgesetzten Behälter. Das Wasser bleibt durch die Thermofunktion sehr lange heiß. Einziges Manko wäre für mich die doch sehr breite Standfläche und die Staubablagerung auf der schwarz spiegelnden Ladefläche.

Was really excited about getting this as I often boil water and get distracted and have to boil again.It was easy to setup and I loved the features.My first gripe was that flow of water when pouring was very slow and getting the last amount out was difficult (easier to take the lid off).Second very heavy (but will strengthen your arm muscles).If you take the lid off beware as if the water is 100c the steam will burn your hand as the top of the handle has a channel for the open button to be depressed into and this will channel the steam towards your hand.On the morning of the fourth day the base just made a ticking sound and would not work, unplugged and tried again still no joy.Rang Grunwert and spoke to quality control about the failure and was very disconcerted by their lack of interest just said send it back to Amazon, they were surprised as it was a new model but they didn't really give any customer experience (God help the UK after Brexit if this is the future of our customer service going forward).In summary not good design as pouring is slow, failed after a few days and supplier seemed unconcerned.I would still love to have a kettle that kept the water warm, however I'd give this one a miss as it disappoints on many levels :(

Bought this a few weeks ago after our old kettle died. (In theory) it is a great idea and design. Being able to choose different temperature settings is handy. Would definitely disagree with the claims over how long it retains the heat though.If it boils at 100C the temperature will fall to around 80C within an hour. Two hours in you will be lucky if it is above 40C. Been using it for a month or so now.

Good kettle to heavy to manage and press handle on lid not got a lot of strength in my arms
