Good point, electric
Proper electricity or girly American electricity?
Not OP, but if you've got a good recommendation for a 120v kettle I'd love it.

$270 for a kettle?!
not just a kettle but one you buy for life and that permanently keeps the water at 208 F while using only 10 Watts/h
10watts on stand-by? That's impressive. I didn't find that info on the website. Can you point me to where that is? plz
the power consumption is listed in the manual not on their website unfortunately. as for sturdiness these things are built for restaurant use and it’s where they are mostly found for the purpose of infrequent instant hot water where one usually boils a full kettle from scratch. I’ve burned through three standard electric kettle here in the US over the years and had enough.
10w is impressively low. And totally justifies the convenience in a lot of cases.
Thanks for the info.
