Before anyone downvotes by saying 'yOu MaY aS wElL bUy a $5o kEttLe', please remember that for a lot of people, especially those doing it tough, a $7 kettle is all they can afford and does the job.
There is also a 2 slice toaster for $7

When I was growing up we couldn't afford a stove. We used a saucepan on the fire, does the job.
When I was growing up we couldn't afford a saucepan or a stove, we lit a fire in hole in road, waited, added water and drank from resulting puddle.
not as energy efficient though
It is if the saucepan only contains the amount of water you want to boil but the kettle is full.
If efficiency is what you want then you might be better with one of these

1x stainless steel kenwood kettle $119 failed at 2 years. 2x stainless steel/glass kettle $89 each, first made it to 2.5 years the second just over 1 year. This $7.50 kettle has been going strong for almost 5 years.
Same for me and my toaster/kettle.
this makes a crap toasted sandwich if anyone is buying it for that reason…i learnt the hard way
not a good idea to use a kettle to toast sandwich
ROFL
We were overdue for a silly special on the front page. Well played sir
got to let that gas out every now and then
Thanks it's natural!
Buy this & $0.70c Mi Goreng pack from Woolworths then ask for free water at Maccas and use their power points to cook yourself some 3 minute noodles for $7.70! Accumulate savings over time by buying 5 packs for $3/pack.
Extra style points if you cook the noodles inside the kettle.
Cutlery optional.
I would hate to imagine if people are having it tough now… But in years down the track after drinking all that heated plastic water they find out they have a type of tumour / cancer….
Great everyday deal!
This will cause heath issue. Do not use plastic.
I bought this kettle second-hand for 4$ and then used it for another 4 years every day, boiling water at least 4 times a day and it then failed to turn on after ~6000 uses. Beware! Very disappointed! I was looking forward to passing it to my grandchildren.
I had one of these. Got a few years use out of it before it shat itself and started tripping my circuit breaker.
Has there been any scientific research on plastic kettle related to health issues?
Brought many expensive kettles in past only to sh*t themselves.
So one day I brought one of these (and yes with all my Ozbargain savings i could be a luxury kettle) and it does the job.
One did poop itself after 18 months but just went got another. Figure i can by 7 or so of these for the price of a good one.
Makes sense to me….
Good kettle had one for over 2 years no problem
Basically if you boil it with too little water, insides start to melt and the coils will go black, which will then appear in water.
Risking you health buying this cheap kettle.
The heating element coil is positioned within the water reservoir (not behind a plate like most kettles). As such the heating element rusts. I've used this kettle for about 9 months. You're better off spending a little more on a kettle if you plan on using the kettle regularly.
Thanks OP, also for the toaster price. Every little bit helps.
I can't believe the whole thread no one has said it looks like junk and I'd be embarrassed having this around the house .
Thats your prerogative, but for a lot of people this is all they can afford.
Everyone can afford $20-$30 for a half decent looking kettle .
Its not like we are in a 3rd world country .
You and I can certainly afford a $20-30 kettle, but a hell of a lot of people can't, or do you have the same mindset of a former government minister who asserted $40 is enough to live each day?
I bought a plastic kettle once, took about 6 months till the boiled water stopped tasting like plastic. Spend $20 and get a metal one.
