VektraVEK-1701R Vacuum Insulated Environmentally Eco Friendly Easy Pour Cordless Kettle, 1.7 Litre, Red

The kettle does preserve the heated water hot. but does not keep the water heated for more than an hour and half.

This kettle is fabulous and it actually saves money as you don't need to keep re-boiling the water. Once boiled, the insulation keeps water hot for ages afterwards. I haven't exactly timed how long the water stays hot as it has always been perfect for instant coffee or hot squashes. Simple to pour out by holding the tab down and you get a well regulated flow.

Had really high hopes for this, love the idea insulated kettle to keep the water warm after it’s boiled. Quality let’s it down a bitCouple of issues- The lid comes fully off by rotating using the pour lever, not an issue yet but can see it being an issue in future if someone forces it.- The writing that tells you which way to rotate the lid is already wearing off- The button to heat the water doesn’t feel very premium- There is no alert to tell you the kettle has boiled- The kettle makes a noise once it has boiled when it releases pressure, seems to bleed this off gradually.- You do have to tip it up quite far whilst depressing the handle to pour it although you can get round this by removing the topThat said is it all worth it for the benefits, it works for me as it’s easy and convenient but actually it may be more eco to boil and decant into a sealed flask. Can’t say yet if I’d buy another one see how it holds up

These are great kettles when they are working. Problem is that we got our first one in May 2016, that died less than four years later in January 2020. We then ordered a replacement in Jan. 2020, that barely lasted nine months.Amazon were very good about replacing the most recent casualty free of charge, it is hardly helping the environment, or ones personal finances, if you have to keep renewing the product and generating waste.The KSP is the ability to keep water warm, so if like most people, you boil a full kettle for a cup of tea, then after 10 minutes top up the pot for a second and then a third cup, you don't neet to reheat the water from scratch.Unfortunately, these are expensive kettles so energy saving benefits are cancelled out if you have to keep buying new ones. We have had £25 kettles that lasted longer than four years.Message to Grunwerg, potentially great product, but product longevity needs to improve in order to justify the price tag and the eco label.

When first purchased this was ok. Kept hot for an hour or so. Gradually this reduced and now its basically a normal kettle. Gets hot to touh, and loses heat like normal. I would guess the number of wires and heating elements that need to penetrate the dewer bottle inside make the vacuum leak and once air seaps in over a few months (especially with heat expansion cycles when in use) it's just a normal kettle. Very disappointed as its so expensive and takes just a bit too long to return.

I have read reviews that this kettle was poorly built and easily broken but my family has been using this kettle for over 3 years now and heavily in the last 6 months (3-6 boils per day) and have so far had no issues. It is very handy to be able to boil the kettle once in the morning and tea be made over a couple of hours without needing to re-boil.It can be a little fiddly to pour when on the last cupful or so but this is hardly difficult and the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.For what it is worth I bought a second one for use on the boat as I thought the first was so good.

Adding to what a few other reviewers have found, the kettle itself is pretty good at keeping water hot enough that you can pour a fresh tea or coffee within the next couple of hours without needing to reheat. Even if you do have to reheat, it barely takes any time as the water is already hot.Unfortunately a few months after the warranty expired, the pouring trigger on the lid snapped off, meaning the only way to pour was to open the lid entirely, which is both more dangerous and also defeats the 'thermos' part of the design, as a bunch of heat escapes every time you open the lid.Contacted customer service and offered to purchase a replacement lid; they responded promptly but informed me that replacement parts are not available for this unit. It's pretty disappointing, as when you pay a little more for a 'nice' kettle, you expect it to last and certainly for replacement parts to be offered (at a reasonable price if you're out of warranty).Given what a lot of reviewers have said, I'd warn against buying this kettle unless you're happy paying that much for something that is fairly likely to break just after the warranty period expires. They don't seem reliable or durable enough to justify the cost.

Had one before these are brilliant keep hot water hot for 4 hours

Braucht durchschnittlich lange, um Wasser zu kochen. Energiesparfaktor ist gegeben, vor allem, wenn man im Laufe des Tages häufiger Wasser kocht, mit pausen dazwischen. Durch das Warmhalten muss dann nicht jedes Mal Energie von 0% aufgewendet werden, sondern halt von 50-80%. Man spart also auch 50-80% Energie.Leider ist aber der Support ungenügend.Irgendwann fing der Power-Knopf zu blinken an. Leider nirgendwo ein Hinweis, was der Erfinder damit kommunizieren will. Jedenfalls funktioniert er nicht mehr.Habs entkalkt, hab die Kontakte gesäubert, aber kein Erfolg. Offenbar bin ich nicht der einzige Kunde mi diesem Problem, weshalb sich der Verdacht aufdrängt, dass hier einfach mal wieder eine Sollbruchstelle integriert wurde.Daher nur einen Stern, denn bei 80 Euro für ein so einfaches Gerät geht das gar nicht.

Gerät schaltet mehrmals am Ende des Kochvorgangs ab und wieder an.Griff ist bei vollem Wasserstand unter Gewicht instabil, damit fraglich wie lange das Gerät haltbar ist.Somit zurück an Hersteller.

Kann in Deutschland nicht verwendet werden, wird mit UK Stecker geliefert obwohl es anders in der Beschreibung steht, super nervig. Kein Kontakt/Austausch möglich, also zurückschicken :-(
