I tried the £35 kettle that made a brew in under 47 seconds and made almost no noise
24.05.2022 - 15:33 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
A watched kettle never boils as they say and you have to admit that some take way longer than others. But when we're all counting the pennies amid the cost of living crisis, we can't afford to be hanging around and shoppers are clearly on the hunt for more energy efficient products.
Well there's one particular kettle that's causing quite a stir at the moment and that's the Russell Hobbs Inspire.
With a 3,000 watt output it boils one cup in just 46 seconds and with clear cup markings inside it, it means you'll never boil more than you need.
I tried it out and it was true to its word on timings, boiling enough for a large mug in under a minute and boiling the maximum 1.7 litres - enough for seven brews - in three-and-half minutes.
That equates to around 5p, or around 40p a day if you have the eight brews a day I typically have, although this would be reduced dramatically by boiling just enough for one mug at a time.
Our old kettle was probably around a couple of years old, so not ancient by any means, but it still took way over a minute to boil enough for a brew, so I was pretty shocked how quickly this one heated up.
It's light - even light enough for the kids to manage - if I can ever persuade them to brew up that is.
It looks good too and for a reasonable budget of £35, reduced from £40 at AO.com, it looks impressive, as does the matching toaster for £43.
I'm clearly not the only one impressed though and it was the rave five-star reviews for the kettle that drew my attention in the first place - with people commenting on how quiet it is for such a fast boil.
"I chose it because it's rapid boil and saves energy," said one customer. "And I've never had a kettle that boils so fast, it's impressive. Would definitely
