I have one of these kettles and find it so helpful. I do use a small, lightweight 1litre plastic jug to fill it so I can use as much or as little water I need.
The kettle itself is very light, it weighs 539g when empty, the water weighs more so I hope this helps.
The kettle has a gauge level so you can see the minimum and maximum levels it is safe to boil. If full of water to the maximum limit (1.7l of water) the kettle weighs 2kg. If the water is just up the minimum to boil safely level (0.7 litre of water) the kettle weights 1.2 kg.
I rarely need to lift and hold the full or empty kettle, it tips so well into cups, teapots or saucepans. Happily despite arthritis I find I can manage to carry the jug from tap to kettle and if I want a full kettle I will do that in more than one trip. For me it is much easier to manage than an ordinary Kettle. The single large handle is easy to hold when tipping the kettle.
Overall I have found it a very useful appliance and it has been reliable for me and I think it looks good!
Well Geoff you’ve beaten me to it… I was going to ask exactly the same question. Are we supposed to fill jugs of water and then carry them from sink/tap to kettle? Do we have someone fill it absolutely full to the brim in the morning, so we keep boiling the same water over and over again through the day, and boiling far too much water most of the time until it’s all gone? Would someone who didn’t know any better be tempted to site the kettle on the draining board forever? It’s probably easier and cheaper to invest in several small flasks and have someone fill them up with hot water every morning.
I’ve looked into several gadgets that would dispense a mug of hot water and enable me to make my own cup of tea/coffee, and the dispense side of things is fine but it’s so difficult to get water from tap to gadget to fill them up.
Not been funny but if you don’t have anyone to help you, how do you fill them if you can’t pick anything up in the first place , or it emptys before someone comes to see you ,
I gather it won’t be a light thing to move around once it’s full , how do you go about the filling of it , if you have weak wrists or arms ,
