Smart kettles

In response to the OP, how about a Russell Hobbs Velocity? It does 0-100 in 38 seconds, making it the fastest boiling kettle on the market.

"Our Fastest 2.4kW Kettle"

I accept the challenge for a race against my 3kW kettle......

In that case it's time to do a real world performance challenge. I'm going to check my Sage Smart Kettle (it's not that smart tbh)

Using the Russell Hobbs as a benchmark it's claimed that one cup is 235ml and boiled in in 38 seconds

It's gonna be like the 60-100 thread again.....

buuuut - we also need to know the starting temperature. If I let my cold tap run it he flow is about 7DegC at the moment.

Prove it Bruce....

Fair play you made short work of that Mik.

Some controversy already:

The claim of 38 seconds is on the UK website, and appears to pertain to a no-longer-available 3.1kw model.

Their European website appears to reduce this claim to 47 seconds for the existing 2.4kw model.

So....

On a sample of 1-run, my 3kw Bish-bash-bosch heated 250ml (my measuring jug only has 25ml increments) from a measured 8.2 DegC to boiling in 41.7 seconds.

There is a tin of custard on the passenger seat too

Im guessing your missus has given up asking what you did today @mik ?

[Gavster]

I did the same and it boiled for a solid 5+ seconds, I timed until it switched off. So depending on the criteria I’d be closer to 50 seconds if it was to boiling point.


Bosch 3kw Mik 41.7
Sage 2.4kw Smart Kettle 57.31

Get pets then you don't need a smart kettle. Get up, put kettle on and then let dog out. Feed cats, let dog back in. Kettle boiled!

I have a cat, if the kettle was already hot the tea could be brewing while I feed him instead of boiling, then having to wait for the brew stage after.

I was just curious if anyone had used a kettle you could set a schedule on, without being overly complicated for normal everyday use. I’d seen random ones on Amazon, but I’d prefer something an actual real person had tried.

Looks like Mitos one would be good, but currently unavailable
