VektraVEK-1501B Vacuum Insulated Environmentally Eco Friendly Easy Pour Cordless Kettle, 1.5 Litre, Black/Red

Keeps water hot for a good couple of hours . Takes a while to boil though.

Nice looking Kettle, well built and keeps the water hot/warm for long period saving energy when re-boiling. Only complaint would be no visible indicator of amount of water in kettle.

I so wanted to love this kettle as it is undoubtedly better for the environment but I'm afraid I can't. I've been using the kettle for about a month now and I've come to really dislike it.It's understandably quite heavy and my hands are a bit arthritic, so this makes life awkward: I find it difficult to stretch my hand enough to press the lever to release the water and lift and pour the kettle at the same time. I would do it with 2 hands but then the hand pressing the lever risks being scalded by the steam. Even with one hand, you often have to tip the kettle more than 90 degrees to get the water out and so scald your hand, meaning you have to pour the water in stages.I'm presuming that it is meant to be water-tight when locked but right from the word go, some water came out when I forgot to press the lever to release the water. Recently, a little rubber stopper came off and will no longer stay in place, which means more water escapes and I'm guessing this reduces the insulating effect of the kettle.On the plus side, the kettle does look good and keeps water hot for longer, reducing the number of times and length of time I need to boil it for but I wouldn't recommend it, particularly for those who lack strength in their hands and arms. Unfortunately, because I wanted this kettle to work for me, I left it too long to ask for a refund but I'm going to have to buy another kettle. :-(

Looks reasonably smart, but can be a bit tricky to get water out of the kettle once boiled due to vacuum flask element. It does keep water reasonably warm for a while, but it's not as good as a vaccum flask and I'm not sure it's worth the premium

Build quality is good

Arrived quickly and on time. This is the second Vecktra kettle we have purchased - the first lasted 4 Years and took a real hammering! We could not recommend this product more highly, it is outstanding

+ Keeps water warm for hours which reduces your reheating costs.Well made and looks good .- Slow pour with the lid in place.

I was really pleased at first despite the clunky pouring mechanism. But I am beyond disappointed that the gray lever thing used to pour eventually failed. This expensive kettle lasted about 10 months. It’s such an obvious flaw I’m surprised it got through testing. On the basis of that substandard item I could never recommend this product- do not buy!
