What watts?

UK Kettle (for residential or office use - not camping or other such frippery).

1. I would only purchase an electric kettle rated at or above 2.99kW, even if I preferred the visuals of a less powerful alternative

Dad has a quooker, it makes rubbish tea - presumably because it can't hit 100deg. Can't recommend.
The Evo forum really is a shadow of its former self. I remember when the internet was for the elite and now they seem to let any spastic on

Quooker apparently stores at 102. One of the few boiling taps to do so- problem is it’ll have dropped to 90 something by the time it hits the cup

Just to add as a plumber I’m all for people fitting these things, if they want to pay me to put it in that’s fine by me. Personally I’d stick with a kettle though, especially if you’re in a hard water area
