Advantages: Stylish, Efficient, Asthetically pleasing

Disadvantages: Will require descaling in hard water areas to remain looking good

The Prima clear boil kettle model number PGK100C is a real asset to any kitchen.

It is made of a clear toughened glass bowl with a hot plate in the bottom, not the usual ugly element, and a fully detachable lid.
The kettle sits on a plasticbase plate that allows it to turn 360 degrees for left or right handed use, also making the kettle cordless as the cord goes to the base. The model I have is chrome coloured plastic finished and has kept its finish beautifully.
The kettle comes with a 13 amp fused plug already fitted and comes in chrome or white. It has a plentiful 1.7 litre capacity and can be used with a minimum of 0.3 litres, thus saving energy if one only wants enough for one cup of beverage. It takes about 4 minutes to boil when full to capacity.

The kettle has an excellent novelty effect of being able to see the water boil, which looks quite disturbing at first until you realise that this happens inside every kettle.

Capacity 0.3 litre minimum.
1.7 litre maximum level
Boils in about 4 minutes
Power 2kW

Good points

Bad point

In hard water areas it may need de-scaleing on a regular basis
