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!

Solar Powered Fairy Lights

Reviewed: 24th November 2008

Solar Powered Fairy LightsWe received these a few days ago, and having used solar lights in the past, weren’t expecting anything to jump up and down about - we were proved wrong!

Beautify your garden at night with these Solar Powered Fairy Lights and don’t worry about wires cascading down your walls, through the window or letterbox leading to a mains plug (very dangerous!).

You can adorn your garden with light and a little bit of luxury without the need for batteries or electricity. Leave the solar panel in sunlight to charge up the solar-powered battery and drape the LED fairy lights around your garden and over furniture for a wonderful light display at night.

A solar sensor automatically switches your solar powered fairy lights on at night and off again at dawn and a full charge delivers an impressive 20 hours of light.

Believe it or not, these solar lights are as bright as their standard mains-powered counterparts and come with spike and clip fitting, so they stay in place once you’ve set them up. With six light modes and three time modes you decide what they do and when.

Price: £34.95
