The media could not be loaded. A Swan Alexa kettle with adjustable temperature and keep warm settings.The kettle comes with approximately 70cm of cable, so you need to position it close to a socket, you can wind any surplus cable under the stand.You don’t get any heating elements inside, nor a water level window, or any plastic level indicators, which frankly I hate, they always seem to get covered in limescale, which is difficult to remove at times, especially as you cannot get your hand inside. The plastic windows always seem to go white after a year and start leaking, no chance of that with this kettle. This kettle is very easy to clean, having no other parts inside, just the shiny tank, making it very easy to get your whole hand inside, to give it a good wipe over. There is also a strainer at the spout, which you cannot remove, and it’s metal, not a flimsy plastic net that always tears when you clean it.So far, everything is to my liking!There are two levels inside, minimum 0.5ltr and maximum 1.5ltr, it didn’t take long to experiment and find we needed an inch above the minimum for our two mugs. Never fill below the minimum or above the maximum. The kettle does take a little longer to boil, if it’s full, but that’s because it’s a money saving low wattage (1500-1800w) kettle, so just boil what you need, we found the half litre amount boiled very quickly, enough for two mugs of hot drinks, and because the kettle is insulated, it kept the water warm, so didn’t need long to bring it to the boil again, even without the ‘keep warm’ function.It’s also very quite, a lot quieter than the video shows it, my phone microphone is so delicate, it makes it sound like a train, but it isn’t.You can select a variety of temperatures, supposedly for the different types of coffee and teas, I personally don’t like burning my mouth, so always try and stop a normal kettle from reaching the boil, with this kettle there is no need for that, just set for 80° and it can be drunk straight away, with a refill ready to pour, 60° if you prefer tea.Still looking good!Let’s get going. Give the kettle a good rinse out, to get rid of any factory finish, and manually boil the kettle a couple of times to again get rid of any factory finish and coatings that might leave a bad taste in your mouth.Once that is done, it’s time to set it up with Alexa. Now you can continue to use it as a manual kettle if you wish, but why spend £100 if your not going to use it for its intended purpose.Switch the kettle on, hold the ‘set’ button, till everything starts flashing, once you see the Wi-Fi symbol, you can go to your Alexa app and set up as a new item. Everything was straight forward, all went through very quickly, start to finish was about 1 minute. Don’t throw away the barcode sticker before you have set it up, if you want to remove it from the kettle, there is a space at the back of the booklet to store it. All the instructions are clear and easy to follow.Next, set up the routines, if you wish, so the app will understand how you want it to switch it on and off, set temperatures etc. The basic command kettle on/off works before you put in your own twist, like “Alexa, its coffee o’clock”. Basically just as you would do for lights etc.You can also switch the different temperatures from here and switch on/off the ‘keep warm’ function if you don’t require it.Do you actually need an Alexa kettle? Well probably not, is it handy, certainly. Waking up in the morning, the water can be boiled waiting for you. Driving home, the water can be boiled and kept warm, incase you get caught in traffic. There are no end of advantages for it.A handy device that I’m happy to recommend, and no I didn’t find anything I didn’t like about it.
Amazing :) –
This amazon kettle was a present for my mum and dad who absolutely loved it :)It can easily be hooked up to your alexa and it’s ready to go.You can ask Alexa to boil the kettle from the comfort of your bed upstairs, so you just have to go down to make tea :)You can also ask her to keep the water worm (90 degrees Celsius) for a period of time :)It was a very well received present for sure xx

This kettle means you can put the kettle on when you wake up and by the time you get to the kitchen it will be boiled. As a disabled person it has helped me a lot I don’t have to make two trips to the kitchen in pain just one which quite literally cuts the pain in half. Whether you are disabled or not this kettle will help you its versatility in changing the temperature and the ability to keep the water warm which then saves you money by not needing to reboil the water is perfect especially with the energy prices at the minute.

Alexa, turn the kettle on!What’s not to like! 😉. I was in two minds whether I’d find this item more of a gimmick than anything else, and yes there’s a novelty factor to it, but more so a useful one. I work from home, so being able to direct Alexa to pop the kettle on is incredibly useful.The kettle itself is quite nice looking, but be warned it attracts fingerprints like a smart phone screen. It boils on parr with similar kettles, pours well, without drips and set up was very straight forward.No regrets

Love the features on this I think it makes a difference to the taste of you coffee being boiled at a different temperature

I love my Alexa kettle it seems to be energy efficient too my only issue is that being left handed it’s taken me a while to get used to picking up the kettle in my right hand as the display is only on one side , still it’s a good product

Works great with easy setup.The only thing missing from the app is a reading of the amount of water left inside the Kettle In the app and maybe a Voice for the Kettle😁😜😜🤣

We have been using the kettle for about a week now and it really is superb. Firstly, it looks great on the countertop. The minimalist design suits our kitchen perfectly. No issues in setting it up via the Alexa App, taking about 5 minutes from start to finish. Working from home as I often do, there is nothing more of an annoyance than standing in the kitchen waiting for the kettle to boil, typing emails in my head while I stand there. I don’t have that issue any more, I simply ask Alex to turn it on from my office, continuing to work while it goes about its business.Also, being a black coffee drinker, I really don’t like it when its boiling hot (I believe this is actually not optimum for the drink either) so I often have to top up with cold water, add a cube of ice, or wait for it to cool. However, this kettle allows me to set the temperature to 95°C which is perfect for me.All in all, when you compare what this can do, and the way it looks to other products on the market, I can’t honestly find fault with it! Wouldn’t be without it now!
