What it is:
A cordless electric kettle that saves water, time, and energy.
Why we love it:
It is estimated that, on average, people boil twice the volume of water as needed. Invented in Britain, the ECO Kettle solves this problem. It has an internal reservoir that holds the full capacity of water ready for use, while the measuring button allows any quantity – from a single cupful to full capacity – to be released into a separate chamber for boiling. This results in exactly the right amount of water every time you boil –and no more waste. It was estimated that if everybody in the UK used an ECO Kettle, 1,270,000,000 Watt hours of electricity would be saved every year. Now, just think what that would translate to in the US?
