Mini Mains Kettle

[Thursdays Child]

Just received a Wahl kettle. Delighted. Just big enough to boil two mugs. 240v, 1000 w, so it is quick. Auto switch off when boiled.

Got it from 7dayshop on ebay. £15.99.

Even though small I see this as a waste of space, you presumably also carry a kettle for the hob, why not always use that?

I think a small electric kettle is useful for whenever on EHU. They really don't take up much space. However if we had a PVC it might be a different thing but in our van we have the space available in a cupboard - we tend to keep it at the back as it doesn't get used very often.

We carry both in our pvc, useful for when parked up in Spain over Winter.

We always use an electric kettle as our solar power is free and gas costs us money

The big advantage of the electric travel kettle is that there is no need to heat the hob when on short T&P break. We use tea towels to stop the hob rattling and must wait for it to cool down before we can continue our journey.
The original plan was to use electric when we had surplus solar. In practice thats most (usually all) of the time even in the UK.
If we stopped carrying one it would be the whistler as we could always use a saucepan if necessary.

Yes, that's exactly what I thought.

We have got an inverter, plus 600w of solar and lithium batteries

1500W inverter Mrs Else needs to use her hairdryer. Its also big enough to use the microwave, we are self sufficient, our 1990 vintage Phillips 800W travel kettle is a very nice extra.

Gas is in limited supply and costs money. If I am paying for EHU, I am going to use it. En route stops, of course, we have to use gas - but as already mentioned that entails faff and cooling off.
P.s. We do not have a space problem.

It’s alright for you lot my wife and I have a need for gin, the little kettle would take the place of a couple of litres of something much more useful ?

When using the Chunnel the electric kettle is useful for making a cupper.

Our 650w takes a while but it’s a free cuppa on solar and inverter....??
