Eco Kettle Makes A Quicker Cuppa

Reviewed: 26th November 2008

Eco KettlePutting all eco issues, and world saving ideals aside, the Eco Kettle can quite simply save energy and help reduce your electricty bills! Do you need any other reason to get one?

So how much energy do we waste with our current kettles? Well to put it in perspective DEFRA have quantified how much energy we’re wasting every year;

If everyone boiled only the water they needed to make a cup of tea instead of filling the kettle every time, almost enough electricity to run all the street lighting in the U.K. would be saved.

Until now, accurately measuring the amount of water to be boiled in your kettle has been all but impossible. The new ECO Kettle is different: the internal reservoir holds a full capacity of water ready for use, while the measuring button allows any quantity – from a single cupful to full capacity – to be released into the separate chamber for boiling.

The result? Exactly the right amount of water every time you boil, no more waste (up to 30% energy saving) and a quicker cup of tea!

Invest In An Energy Saving Meter

Reviewed: 3rd November 2008

The psychology behind energy saving meters is simple. If you can see how much money you save by turning off an unused light, you will switch it off.

The Efergy energy meter monitors energy consumption and can put it into a monetary value for you meaning you can see in real time how much you are spending as you do your washing or put the kettle on.

The energy monitor shows your usage in kW, cost per hour (shown in £, $ or €) and kg CO2 emissions. This energy meter is great for use in the home and office as well as a tool to educate how much energy we actually use.
