Family-safe cool-touch design
The double-wall insulation keeps water hot while the exterior remains cool to the touch, reducing the risk of accidental burns during busy mornings. The 1.7 litre capacity provides enough hot water for multiple servings. A 1500 watt element brings a full kettle to a 212°F boil in roughly six minutes.
Wide opening and automatic safety
The 45° lid angle prevents hot water from splashing while pouring. An 80° wide opening allows easy filling and thorough cleaning of the interior. Auto shut-off activates when the water boils or the kettle runs dry, and the unit uses 15% less energy than standard kettles.
Suited for households wanting plastic-free boiling
Ideal for families, offices or dorms that prioritise a cool exterior, BPA-free 304 stainless steel interior and fast boiling. Buyers who need variable temperature settings or a larger capacity should look at other models.

Questions about this item
Does the 304 stainless steel interior ever need descaling or replacement?
The 304 stainless steel interior resists corrosion, but mineral deposits from hard water will build up over time; descale with vinegar or citric acid every few months depending on water hardness.
What limits continuous operation if I boil multiple batches back-to-back?
The automatic shut-off activates once the 1.7 L reaches 212 °F, and boil-dry protection cuts power if the kettle is empty, so each cycle requires a refill and cool-down before restarting.
How hot does the double-wall exterior get during a full day of repeated boiling?
Double-wall insulation keeps the exterior cool to the touch even after the 1500 W element brings water to a boil in about six minutes, so surface temperature stays safe for handling.
