more than 2731 Watts to the wo'ah
I ran a boiling test. Here's the data:volume: just a smidge over 1.8 Lstarting temp: 13Ctime duration until rolling boil: 4 minutes (240s) (beeping takes a few more seconds)elevation here is not high enough to matter given the somewhat fuzzy definition of "done"(100C - 13C) * 1800mL * 4.1868J/calorie / (4 minutes * 60s) == 2731.887WSo that's >= 2731 Watts power from the kettle into the water, not accounting for losses to escaping steam, losses to the air around the kettle, or heating of the kettle itself. The wattage from the wall would be higher than 2731W. I didn't measure it directly, but it could plausibly be ~3000W at 240V.This was using a dedicated circuit (aka "dedicated radial circuit"?) that generally measures right around 240V, though I didn't measure circuit voltage while running the kettle.In contrast, a 120V "kettle" on a "broken radial circuit" is relatively pointless, but y'all already knew that.Other observations (more subjective):The ring of LED light is nice, and the white, red, and green colors all look nice.If there's a relay in this thing, it's pretty quiet.The beeping is short and to the point at a reasonable volume.The keep-warm feature is automatically on after heating, and clearly indicated by LEDs green. Picking up the kettle, the keep-warm disables, as the light is back to white when the kettle is put back down. One can hit the ON button again if keep-warm is desired after pouring. When boiling a more normal amount of water, the time to boiling is low enough that I haven't felt the need for keep-warm after pouring so far. The keep-warm until poured is nice. The keep-warm re-heating is tuned to get the water up to barely boiling and stop again, so it's not aggressively re-boiling the water each time, though it is audible - just pretty much over by the time you hear it, so not worrying.The LED stays on for just a little while when lifting the kettle; slightly longer than I'd expect. This seems to correlate with the decent build quality overall.The UI is no-nonsense and obvious.I've had no issues so far refilling with cold (~13C) water after having just boiled and poured, though I do always aim for the middle of the metal bottom to give the cold water some mixing with hot water before it hits the glass. I figure it can't hurt.The lid has a nice amount of tension (not too much, not too little), and seems less likely to break than typical push-button flip-up lids. The lid is easy to remove quickly and hold between two fingers while operating the tap for refilling - the tension is just right for getting your hand away from any lingering steam all at once. The lid being on limits the pouring rate to a reasonable-seeming rate. It seems plausible to modify the lid to allow faster pouring rate by putting some small notches or angled holes way out near the edges of the lid (to avoid scalding though the holes) - but the pouring rate seems fine as-is. I haven't tried pouring without the lid on - it's nice that the lid makes pouring safely a no-brainer before caffeine.Overall this thing seems well-thought-out and not a first draft.The wattage indicated on the box is a range up to 3000W at 240V, depending on input voltage. Lower input voltage will result in lower wattage, but that's true for any kettle.

Not expensive for what it does. Easy to measure water. Temperature control.
Does everything needed. I fill using a jug to help me get the right amount of water in. It heats the water quickly. The red light changes to green when the heating is finished. The temperature control gets to the temperature I want, be it for my coffee or filling hot water bottles. My main criticism is that it can spit out water when boiling even if I fill it to just over the 2 cup line. Good size. No plastic taste as it is glass.Past electricians that have been to my home have all said that the biggest user of electricity is the kettle. This is why I wanted a kettle that could be filled with the right amount of water and heated to the right temperature. This kettle does the job nicely, and not too expensive when compared with similar models.

Stylish, Quick-Boiling Kettle—Almost Perfect!
**Stylish, Quick-Boiling Kettle—Almost Perfect!**This Chefman Electric Kettle has quickly become one of my kitchen favourites. It boils water incredibly fast thanks to the powerful 3000W heating element, perfect for hurried mornings or a quick tea break. The clear borosilicate glass body not only looks sleek and modern on my countertop but also makes it easy to see how much water I'm boiling, helping avoid waste.Cleaning is straightforward due to the removable lid—no more awkward angles or tricky cleaning rituals! Plus, the auto shut-off and boil-dry protection offer peace of mind, especially on busy or forgetful days.My only slight niggle is the noise level; it's a tad louder than expected during boiling, though this really isn't a deal-breaker given the kettle’s performance.Overall, it's a high-quality kettle that's both practical and stylish, and I'd happily recommend it.

Quick boil and American measurements
The media could not be loaded. Nice looking and good value. Boils water pretty quickly and lights up to let you know it’s running. It’s not too loud either and the glass lets you easily see how much water is there. I really enjoy that it has Litre measurements on one side and cups on the other, it’s really helpful for american recipes.

Not just a gimmick
Brilliant kettle. Clear glass means you can easily see how much water in it. Boils quickly & quietly & love the keep warm feature. The fact that you can set the temperature to whatever you are making is a nice touch. The tea filter is detachable but a great idea for families that love tea. All in all a great kettle with features such as the colour coding to let you know if on standby, boiling is handy for those with restricted sight. I would love to see a smaller size for couples or elderly that have difficulty in lifting the larger kettle.

Best kettle...
Replaced a bosch. Way better and was cheaper too. Quiet boil, easy to fill, clear kettle so you can see at a glance how full it is which is useful, looks good in kitchen and doesn't take up much space. Keep warm feature great, love the coloured boiling indicator lights too. Very happy with this product!

Attractive glass kettle which works well and worth the money
So far, so good. Nice to be able to see the water boil, and rapid auto cut-off. Easy to fill, a little heavy to handle perhaps, due to being made mostly of glass, but that makes this kettle feel pleasingly solid. The removable lid is fine, and filling easy, but time will tell if it remains secure. The blue lights are effective and the price reasonable. Good value I believe, so would recommend it. As to cleaning, I haven't had to as I live in a soft water area.
