Hot drinks 'on tap' & plastic free!
I didn't think you could get excited about a kettle but this one is great! Had it 2 days, so review so far .....Its not a rapid boil, but then it doesn't need to be. It really does keep the water hot enough to make tea / coffee for a good few hours (I've not timed it properly) so as soon as I fancy a cup I can make one instantly. Its perfect for me as I tend to put the kettle on, go back to the laptop and do some work then forget I was making a hot drink and have to start the cycle again, but no more, as soon as I remember I was making a coffee the kettle is still hot enough and for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th....(I drink too much coffee) cup there's no waiting for the kettle to boil.All the interior is stainless steel (except the underside of the lid) and no plastic water gauge. When the water is poured it does go through a plastic spout but that is the only time the water is in contact with plastic.I saw another review mention a slow pour, but I've not found that to be the case.I was concerned I may not be able to pour and press the release lever as I've only got small hands but actually its not a problem at all.Unexpected plus side - I've not noticed any steam escape the kettle during the boil so it doesn't matter where I sit the kettle (eg: under wall cupboards) as condensation no longer an issue.Minor downside - the kettle is a little on the heavy side when empty, which isn't a problem for me but may be for others. I was worried when I first got it out of the box but after using it the weight is fine.If I have any problems I'll update the review but so far I'm really happy.

Quite small
Only holds 4 mugs of brew. But it does keep the water hot and saves reboiling kettle

Close but not quite there…
It’s a nice design and I’m sure it’s economical as I can’t feel any heat on the outside.What bugs me is the lid.There’s no hinge so you have to twist off the lid to fill her up. Then to pour the boiling water you have to press a button on the top- this puts your thumb in the steam.The pour mechanism would be better on the handle like a trigger. And the top button could open the lid on a hinge. Then I would be very very happy with this product.

Best Kettle Ever... almost
Had this for almost 11 months and is used multiple times a day.At 1.2l it holds enough for 4 mugs with reboil time minimal even after a couple of hours. Not sure why there are complaints about it not holding a lot, it's 1.2l, what did you expect?Looks good and easy to fill with max fill bar clearly visible. It has a twist on/off lid which you get used to very quickly as you do with having to depress the pour button on the lid while, well pouring. I've used it that much the Lock and Open indicators are all but gone but not a problem.The reason is said it was almost the best kettle is down to 2 minor issues, not enough not to give it 5 stars, which could be rectified if they ever make a Mk2.1. The spout design gives an untidy pour which leads to some splashing out the mug when you get near the top.2. The rubber grommets/screw seals on the top of the kettle body have a tendency to pop out when opening the lid. Easy enough to put back but a bit annoying when they fall into the kettle itself.Would highly recommend, get one.

Good kettle but does have some flaws 1st you have ...
Good kettle but does have some flaws1st you have limited capacity about 4 decent cups2 there is a button which lets the water out could be better positionedTakes 4 mins approximately from cold to boilOn the heavy sideOn the plus side uses under half the power of our old kettle approximately 1.3 kW instead of 3kwOnce it's boiled you can't boil the kettle until it goes cold enough saving more energy so know one can re boil the kettleStays warm for quite some time so the water if re boiled takes no time at allNo steam at all so no kids getting scalded and kettle was knocked over when hot and full but didn't leak very impressed great if you have kids like meIn all a good buy at the discount price fast delivery well thought out product far more positives than negatives worth the money

Only worked for a month
The switch on this kettle will not switch on. I bought this kettle to make morning tea in the bedroom as I have mobility problems and cant manage to carry a cup of tea up the stairs. Worked fine for just over a month and now refuses to switch on....very disappointed in it. It is spill proof and insulated but useless now.

Great kettle
Keeps water hot overnight. Looks great., very quiet, very very little steam. Actually, saves money. We have tested it and our electricity bill went down.

Dissaponting after two years
The idea of an insulated kettle which keeps the water hot is really good, not only that but I liked the appearance of this Vektra kettle.When we first got it back in Oct 2015 it was perfect, it kept the water very hot for many hours, unfortunately it only did that for the first 10 months and we noticed it was slowly starting to go cold much quicker like an ordinary kettle, now after two years it starting to leak.We bought it as an environmentally eco friendly kettle however if it only lasts a couple of years before it needs replacing it's perhaps not that good for the environment.
