VektraVEK-1506 Vacuum Insulated Enviromentally Eco Friendly Easy Pour Cordless Kettle, 1.5 Litre, Stainless Steel

I had a different model of this brand kettle (thermal) but the lid had a fault so this was the replacement. Excellent model - much better design and no fault ! Keeps water hot for hours, and the press button allows the kettle to pour, but when closed, insulates the water to keep temp.

This is a great kettle if, like me, you boil water and then wander off and forget. It holds the temperature pretty well. If it has been a long while since you last boiled, you can reboil knowing that the energy needed to bring the water to temperature will be significantly less than for a non-insulated kettle.One slight gripe is that the text on the lid faded after a couple of weeks, almost like they were written in chalk. I thought that was pretty poor.Another possible issue is that the boiling water is poured through a plastic filter/spout, which I'm worried might cause leaching of chemicals. That said, I'm not noticing any strange taste, so have carried on using it.

Working from home frequently means I often boil the kettle and forget about it, then having to reboil before I eventually make a drink. This kettle is so simple but absolute genius. The water 3 hours later is piping hot, so I'm sure it will stay a good temp for more than 4 hours. It's actually quite slim and doesn't take up a lot of space on the counter. Non spill too.. I tested it to prove I could take it anywhere. 2 year warranty, so whilst I don't expect the vacuum release button to work forever, Im hoping longer than a couple of years. Defo the right kettle for me, and means I can even use it at a table when hosting friends/family to make hot drinks. Shame it doesn't come in fun colours, but a small observation. It's a smart simple design, blends into the kitchen!Won't ever buy another type of kettle.

Emery saving in that it keeps water warm for longer compared to a regular kettle

The kettle worked okay for just over a year and then wouldn't heat water! Both the manufacturer and Amazon seller both refused to deal with the warranty claim although it is advertised with a two year warranty. Any energy saved was lost when it broke and it was expensive for a kettle.

Never spent this amount on a kettle before. It is ok ish so won’t go to bother of returning it but does not live up to expectations. It is quite noisy and boils for ages before turning off.It is heavy and pouring slow but can get used to that. It does NOT keep water hot for long, even though I reliably set the vacuum button up after use ( think this needs to be further highlighted in leaflet as may not be immediately apparent to all users). Checked 1 hour after boiling: water tepid. Like that there is no condensation while boiling ( so can sit under top cabinet ) BUT it does spurt small amount of boiling water from spout if you open the pouring valve while water still agitating. Could be dangerous .I like the fact that element is safely inside base rather than inside kettle.Hmm. Would not buy again but this will be ok and hope it lasts as it is a sturdy looking build.

Kettle is easy to clean,is very cost effective when on and boils quicker than my existing kettle.Would recommend to anyone

I love the fact its insulated so should be cheaper to run than a normal kettle & eco friendly BUT I feel after using this kettle for 13 months it needs to show you how much water is inside without removing the lid. By removing the lid to check the water levels frequently the heat escapes. We live in a hard water area and it has limescale damage after only 13 months use despite our sink having a water softener fitted plus we always use a brita filter jug to fill it up.I also dislike the button which you depress to open the spout to pour water as visitors who dont know how to use it keep leaving it depressed so steam escapes.
