IBAMA Electric Ceramic Tea Kettle with detachable base and boil dry protection - 1.3L

I adore this kettle. It is like a huge teapot and it makes really, really hot water. Now, that sounds strange....it's a kettle, surely it's meant to make hot water. Well yes, but in all honesty, most kettles make hot water whereas this one makes really, really hot water. Try it and you will get what I mean. It's low wattage made me think it would take longer to boil. It doesn't. It also holds its heat a lot longer than a normal modern kettle so you get more electricity savings. What's not to love. It's cute, useful AND saves you money. Now, if I could just find someone to make them for me it would be ultra perfection.

In the product spec it does say 'designed for the old'. Anyone purchasing this kettle should be alert to the fact that this kettle (empty) is very heavy, surprisingly so - and therefore doubly heavy with water. Anyone of any age would be, on first lifting it up, be taken by surprise by the very weight of it and having been caught off-guard with the 'heavy lifting' (!) could find the kettle tipping out of control with boiling water. So without water, heavy and with water, very heavy and unwieldy. You can't use two hands - to keep it steady and the weight balanced - when the kettle is full of boiling water! The decoration around the side gives the impression of 'delicate'. A very attractive kettle and it does the job but the weight is worth noting. It is the 'build' of a proper old-fashioned ceramic tea-pot which is lovely but that does come with the weight issue.

Like the look and sounds quieter than metal kettles. The switch light has failed after 2months and am having trouble contacting seller.

Kettle looks great but can't get the lid on. By the time I gave up trying it was too late to send it back. Its back in the box in a cupboard. Very disappointing.

This is a pretty looking kettle, it's well made and it boils water as expected but it is VERY heavy and unwieldy to use. Definitely not for anyone with arthritic arms or wrists.I am fit and have good strength so at first it was a mild inconvenience but now I've had it a few weeks, it gets irritating so I will most likely buy a more practical kettle and keep this one for Chinese tea. I still love the look of it and it does somehow make the tea taste fresher.

This kettle has a really nice design and looks pretty and also makes a lot less noise than a metal one when boiling. Also it forms less residue than a metal one after some time, but this also might depend on the kind of water you have in you area. Also if you fill it up to the top then it fills about 3-5 medium sized cups, so its enough for a whole family if you want to make some drinks in one go. Im really happy with this product but theres only one problem. Its ceramic so you have to be careful with the lid, you have to turn it to open it and turn it back when you close it, otherwise it will fall out when you tilt the kettle over to pour.

I chose this kettle specifically as most kettles are unattractive and I wanted one that would look good in my kitchen, I have an old cottage so it needed to look right.This kettle arrived super quick and well packaged, the kettle itself is ceramic and has a lovely pattern on it. The kettle boils reLly quickly and is very quiet. Absolutely 10/10 delighted with this product and highly recommended!

The kettle arrived promptly, well packed and intact. Nicely made and decorated. No plastic parts in contact with the water. Works well but is a little heavy to lift, when full, with the single handle. We are pleased with it, but re-shaping the handle with more 'bumps' to grip would be useful. Alternatively a little loop handle above the spout.The central location of the 'cordless' connector is a useful safety feature, less likely to get wet. We had a workshop 'cordless' kettle with rear connector. It frequently 'popped' the erth leakage trip when water splashed as it boiled.
