What’s the point in this over a standard kettle

It looks exactly the same. I guess the dispense button saves picking up the kettle

Surely the kettle user just needs to put in the water they only need to use.Boils less water than a kettle does at once, so no boiling water you don't need I guess.
It was a long time ago... I assumed it would use less energy, if I'm wrong then happy to be corrected.School wasn't your strong point was it. Lol

Get a 3k Kettle for a fiver or pay 30 quid for thisSurely the kettle user just needs to put in the water they only need to use.
Thats what I was thinking, it is a positive as you dont require the peak draw which costs more to provide right. I've seen 5kw peak on portable batteries with 240v sockets, cost in the hundreds. I wondered how cheap it would be to avoid these peak rates coming at us and recharge it on low rates.I have a 1.5kw eco kettle. It’ll use the same amount of electricity overall but the benefit is reduced power draw, which is very handy if you have solar and a battery.
Is Octopus Go fixed for 1yr at least or it can change at any time ?

April good weather to riot someone said ...........It’s challenging to keep up with the price cap update in October - Ofgem have tweaked the calculation, which makes it more expensive !!
The latest is :
- Gas prices to rise 94%
- Electricity prices to rise 71%
Meaning the average bill is expected to be £3,687 in October, £4,400 from January and £4,700 from April

Ban.had one of those kettles, broke super quick, should be banned imo.
ofc the cheapest kettle is no kettle. nobody actually needs hot drinks.
Yeah babies are perfectly happy with cold milk.had one of those kettles, broke super quick, should be banned imo.

The energy required doesn't matter, its about how efficient it is at transfering that energy into heat.
Generally speaking though, 3kw will heat up way faster than a 1kw kettle. 3 times faster more likely. So is it any cheaper, well that really does depend on how long it takes. The efficiency in that fast boil thing is that it literally only heats up the water you need and because its only heating a small amount at a time as it flows through, the system can do it relatively quickly.
50s vs 2-3 minutes for a conventional kettle.
