Swan SK19011N Dual Voltage Travel Kettle with Two Tea Cups, 0.5 Litre Capacity, 125-600 W, Lightweight, White/Grey

Have had this kettle since last September and can vouch for its reliability and ease of use. It's just the right size for my bijou kitchen and a lot easier to keep clean than my previous glass kettle. From experience those glass kettles with the blue light look like great high tech when they're new but if you live in a hard water area they lose those good looks very quickly. Once that scale gets into all the nooks and crannies it is a nightmare getting rid of the stuff. Hunted around for a good replacement and found this little kettle. Nice streamlined design with no hidden places for the dreaded limescale to collect and size wise just the job for a singleton. It can be a little noisy but it boils rapidly so not a deal breaker for me. As one or two have noted there is a little bit of condensation visible on the lid when boiling but let the kettle come off the boil for a few moments and it disappears. Dead easy to keep clean, just an occasional wipe over on the outside keeps it nice and shiny and looking like new. If you live in a hard water area I recommend keeping it descaled using citric acid every few weeks. Boil two cupfuls of water, add a teaspoon or two of citric acid. When the water stops fizzing, boil it again, repeat the boil a couple more times and then give the kettle a good rinse out with cold water. It brings the inside of the kettle up like new. Chuck the spout filter in whilst you're doing this and it will also come out sparkly clean. Quality little kettle, not cheap but well worth the price you pay for it.

Good kettle last one lasted ten years

review after more than a month of usage, about two-three times per day. It does well what is supposed to do... boiling water. It's reasonably fast, less than 90 seconds to boil 360ml of water and less than 3 and a half minutes to boil a litre. Pouring water is fine, the lid is hinged so it doesn't fall It's compact and sits on its base and once you have put water in it, it is not wobbly. I am giving four stars because: the hinge of the (plastic) lid could have been more robust it's a bit noisy the rim of the spout traps a very tiny bit of water inside the kettle there is some condensation on the lid after boiling, if you leave the lid open it dries up all in all, so far so good

this is a supper kettle, it boils very quickly. it is not to heavey as i am not very strong.

I am absolutely in love with this kettle. I needed a small and functional kettle for a work room. I had a few runner-ups but this one caught my eyes. My only hesitation before buying it is that it does not have a measuring window. This turned out not to be a serious obstacle as I tend to fill-in the amount I need. It looks good, it boils relatively fast, and so far it seems to be keeping clean and limescale-free. It was on a Black Friday deal, so definitely value for money.

Misleading description does not have water level indicator as advertised and needed y a disabled person. please advise?

We have used this for a few camping trips now. It is an ok size for our family of 4 to have a small hot drink each. Very suitable for 'mum and dad' to have a coffee in the morning. There is a small blue light which comes on to indicate it is on - this is handy as it is really quiet! It is good to know that it is on. Sometimes when it boils I dont hear it as it remains quite quiet, and as it is small and low Watts I dont always notice the steam at first. I dont think all travel kettles have a light(?). My only grumble would be that the cable is really short. When camping you need a longer cable sometimes, to reach the table from the socket lower down nearer the floor. We have to put the kettle on a lower table, which could then be nearer to smaller hands... The small cups which come with th kettle are cute, but ultimately not suitable for an adult, even though it is labelled as a travel kettle. So a nice addition and a good size for the kids to have a warm drink. All in all a good small travel kettle which works well.

This is fine for when I'm camping on my own, but the included two cups are really tiny. Make sure you have a "proper" mug available. Otherwise, it does exactly what you would expect, it is an electrical heater for up to 0.5 litres of water. It has lived in the back of the car in a bag for over a year and been used on a few campsites from the car's supply several times. There's nothing more to say, it's a small kettle, just consider you may want slightly larger cups than those included...
