This is a VERY popular 1 Litre kettle. we must have sold hundreds over the years. Solid and reliable. Takes around 20 minutes to boil depending on conditions. The kettle draws approx 8 Amps which is just under 200 Watts. Please make sure that your cigar socket can supply this current before connection. Never connect any heating device such as kettles or ovens through adaptors such as twintriple cigar splitters.
