starvin marvin Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I've searched for the above, but reviews are either not available or not recent . I'm looking for one with a two mug (seems appropiate) capacity about 0.7 litre. Any recommendations out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laimeduck Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 We've had a Boots travel kettle for a number of years now but they don't seem to be available online now? It's been great and will deal with the USA voltage. I think it is 800 Watts and does 2 cups. Try this lot :- http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cookworks-Y-600-Travel-Kettle-White/dp/B00KD7OJF2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 We have a travel kettle we take on flying holidays and mother has a little kettle so she can lift it, if I remember I'll look see what the makes are later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepe63xnotuse Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 We bought one from Curry's some years back.. I think it may've been the older version of this: https://www.outandaboutlive.co.uk/forums/Motorhomes/Motorhome-Matters/3/ ..it worked okay..but having been used to a cordless kettle at home , using one with a cord again seemed awkward (even when just filling with a jug) ..and it was quite small, so we did end up getting a "lowish" wattage cordless household kettle..

Cassie Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I have a SwissLuxx low wattage cordless kettle, 650 w, 1.2 litre, with a concealed element which I think I bought from Lowhams in Huddersfield. Cost about £14. Does the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Leake Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 We've got a prestige gold low wattage kettle on a separate base. Most caravan and motorhome accessory shops sell the same kettle under a variety of different names. Towsure or Riverway do them on line. Capacity is 1.7 L wattage is quoted as 900 to 1100 watts. Works just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david lloyd Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 We have the Swissluxx 1 litre model (and their low wattage toaster) which has a corded base but cordless kettle and holds enough for two large mugs. Works very well and the shape doesn't take up much storage space - unlike our last one which had quite a large round base. Just search for Swissluxx kettle - costs about £9.95.

colin Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Checked last night, mothers kettle is a Lloydtron (? ) 1000w and holds 3 cups maybe more, it's seems a bit slow to boil, it is 360deg swivel base cordless. Unfortunately gf has made a good job of putting our travel kettle away so I can't find it, I can tell you it is around two cup, boils quite fast and is corded.

Keith T Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 We have had several over the years. Usually 1 litre capacity and around 800w so usable in Sites in France where you often get 6a max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Marvin, we also have had several over the years including the usual 'caravan' specific types from the likes of Quest but the 1 litre Swissluxx is definitely the best (and best value) we have owned.

AlanS Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Our low wattage kettle failed whilst in France recently - it was the thermostat/switch and not repairable. We bought a 1000 watt, 1 litre electric kettle from Leclerc supermarket for 14 euros. Works a treat but had to change the plug to 13 Amp - checked the kettle worked first though by asking our French neighbours on the adjacent pitch if they would try it before I cut the French plug off (just in case I needed to take it back !)

bolero boy Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 we have a Lloytron (from Robert Dyas) holds about a litre, i generally fill to 700ml which does two mugs nicely.....800w so can use pretty much anywhere and is not too slow to boil.....around a tenner i guess.

breakaleg Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 we bought ours for about £12.00 from the range, that came with two small mugs, I think the kettle is called swann, takes a little while to boil and once boiled won't reboil until it cools down, so you need to be patient and use the hot water as soon as it boils.

Alan Always a good idea to carry a 2pin/3pin adapter with you. We have bought a few electrical items in France/Spain, so the adapter came into use to test them.

AlanS Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 PJay I agree, only trouble is we do normally take the adaptor but I had left it at home ! At least our neighbours understood what I was saying and even offered to boil the whole litre of water rather than just the 'test amount'.

BrianBW Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Just bought this one from Amazon, it's brilliant: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lloytron-E886-Travel-Kettle-Cups/dp/B0000C6ZFY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1438101524&sr=8-2&keywords=lloytron+kettle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think not. I reckon 800w is low wattage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
