Frequently asked questions

Does the kettle have a plastic-free interior?

The listing claims that water contacts stainless steel and describes a plastic-free metal interior. Its technical material field does not specify the steel grade, so check the product details if 304 steel is essential.

What is the kettle's capacity and listed power?

The listed capacity is 1.7 litres and the feature copy states 2000W.

Does it have automatic shut-off and boil-dry protection?

Both features are claimed in the listing. Customer feedback on overheating protection is mixed, so the claim should not be taken as an independently verified performance result.

Is it quiet and quick to boil?

The listing calls it a quiet-boil kettle, but customer feedback on noise and boiling time is mixed. No measured noise or boiling-time figures are supplied.
