Electric Kettle

[Coldicote]

I'm looking for a cordless electric kettle. Most of those I see advertised refer to 'boil dry protection' that automatically switches off when the kettle is empty. What I'm looking for is the kind that will switch of when it has boiled, not only when it is empty - one that has a kind of baffle that enables the steam to build up pressure to switch it off. Can anyone help please?

All kettles turn off when boiled.

The boil dry possibly refers to the fact that it wont turn on if the kettle is totally empty of water?

As far as I know, all kettles turn off when they boil. X

Not all, but I suspect all cordless do.

Tesco £10, never failed me yet and I use it a lot.

I wish my missus switched off when she boils!

Ten quid, MH?

Bloody 'ell! You must be rich!!!

A fiver in Asda is good enough for me:

(And yes, Coldicote, it's cordless and it does switch off when boiled - as do all modern electric kettles)

Many thanks for your replies. If all modern kettles switch off when they boil (without having to boil dry) then I'll try one of the less expensive kind.

my kettle switches off when it's boiled, sure most do. well except the ones you put on the gas....

[emmie]

you don't have to buy anything expensive, if you are based in UK have a look in either Argos or Robert Dyas..

Re: the Asda kettle mentioned above. Yes, it's only a fiver but I'd spend a bit more and get 3000W rather than 2000W . Also, it has to be placed on the base EXACTLY in the correct position rather than just plonked on any old way, because it has a shaped (rather than circular) base.
Lidl has inexpensive kettles meeting my strict requirements above (!!) and a three-year warranty.
I have three - in different locations- all trouble-free.

I don't have a kettle anymore but I cannot recall any electric kettles that don't switch off after they have boiled.
