Signal One Vocal Smoke Alarm

It makes sense: A small appliance is more efficient than a big one. For cooking modest portions or heating leftovers, a microwave or toaster uses less energy than an oven or stove. One could then say that an electric kettle eats less power then heating water on a cook-top. The Capresso H2O Glass Water Kettle is faster, safer and more efficient than any stove top kettle. With auto shut-offs and illuminated blue operating light it will boil water fast, quietly and safe…then shuts off automatically. Nice item for the tea lover in the family.

Key Features:

• 65 ounce Schott glass container with drip-free pouring design
• Illuminated power switch automatically turns off when kettle is lifted from base or upon boiling.
• Slip-free, textured underside handle
• Cordless kettle lifts easily from base for drip-free pouring and serving
• Swivel base for right or left hand use
