As our company began to make plans to become more "carbon neutral" one of the small changes to take place was to replace the kettles used in our office from standard kettles to more energy efficient kettles and the Eco Kettle now gets pride of place in our staff kitchens and I have now invested in one myself. *~*What is the Eco Kettle?*~* The Eco Kettle is designed to use enough energy to boil the amount of water required. It is estimated that, on average, we use twice as much water that is required, I am guilty of this, I like filling the kettle once and boil it each time I want a drink, definitely "Not Energy Efficient!"

With tea and coffee being essential to get me out of bed every morning, a decent kettle is a must! I've only had a few in the past, this being one of them and can say that I'm very pleased with this purchase. The kettle saves energy by ensuring you do not boil more water than you need. There are two compartments for the water. The bottom one where the water is boiled and the top one where water is stored ready to be transferred into the bottom. There is a button that does this and a measurement down the side which measures in cups. So there's no real technical eco science behind it but it sure does save energy. I'm one of those people that shove the tap on ...  Read the complete review

When my kettle broke, my mum went out and bought me a new one, which I was so grateful for. However, she bought me the ugliest looking machine you could ever imagine! It looks like something left over from the 90's, but it was supposed to environmentally friendly and help cut down on your carbon footprint. This sounds fantastic as I am trying to be greener these days. *Price and availability* The eco kettle costs an extortionate £29.99 at full price but my mum picked mine up for half that in Argos. *Description* The kettle is made from chunky white plastic and stands on a little plastic power base which makes the main body of ...  Read the complete review

I really love my Eco Kettle - in fact I'm on my second one. It's not the most stylish and once you get used to having to fill the reservoir and then pressing the button for the amount of water you want, it is quite easy to use. So where to start; Firstly it is cordless, which is always an advantage - no more leads trailing over the worktop or not being long enough to reach the mug when you want to pour the water and can;t be bothered to unplug it. The cord is a reasonable length and can be stored underneath the base plate if you are lucky enough to house it right next to a power socket. Secondly - it really does do what it it ...  Read the complete review

I was bought the eco kettle as a leaving present from my previous job. Basically there is a reservoir, which is where the water from the tap goes when you fill it up. You then press the button on top of the kettle to let water into the boiling chamber before boiling the kettle. The water volume scale is in cups, with one cup being 200mls (so nearer to a mug size than a cup, but that is fine, as I always drink from mugs!) then boil the water. The energy saving is as a result of only boiling the amount of water you need, as well as the kettle being extremely well insulated. When you first get an ecokettle, you do need to read the instructions. I did, ...  Read the complete review
