The water is so hard here I wouldn’t pay more than £15 for a kettle, to be thrown out once the limescale takes over.
But even if I lived in a soft water area – surely a kettle is just a fancy receptacle converting electricity into heat. All of them will be equally as efficient so not sure what a £100 kettle does that a £15 one doesn’t. I’m here to be educated
Currently getting my kitchen re-done. Looked at boiling water taps. Couldn’t justify the cost and the loss of under-sink space.
Also, it didn’t sit right with me that it would constantly be keeping water hot through the day and not being used - I’m not convinced this is more energy efficient than a kettle.
However, I am in the market for a new kettle too and living in SE London have limescale galore - recommendations eagerly anticipated!
How much are we talking for one of those? (A friend has one: I asked him how much and he coughed and made very British noises that suggested that we should never speak of it again).
Induction hob kettles heats up slower when compared to electric kettles. So, if you are looking for a speedy kettle to boil faster, induction kettles are a lesser choice.
