A good kettle - nice and quiet. Check the camels https://au.camelcamelcamel.com/product/B084PTSDD9

Not sure - but I have this exact same R.H. kettle at home (for the best part of a year) and it is night and day difference compared to my old Colesworth cheapy. I couldn't see any specific patents assigned to RH regarding noise suppression - the PHDs over at Whirlpool though may have the answer - https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1218533
I have this kettle. At the bottom they have some sort of fine grille so that when water boils, instead of getting large bubbles making loud bubbling noise, you get small ones making more of a (still loud but more bearable?) hissing noise.
Obviously you'll need to descale it once in a while, cause it does clog up from mineral build-up and would start acting like a normal kettle when it gets to that point..
I don’t know, but I have this kettle and it definitely is quiet.
Thanks OP been needing a new kettle so I bought it :)
What's the minimum fill? I hate having to boil 750ml for one cup of coffee.
0.24 L according to CHOICE.
Edit: oops wrong Kettle, nvm me.
The manual states, "Fill the kettle with at least 1 cup of water", so CHOICE is pretty accurate. Problem is, the level indicator doesn't go that low, so you have to measure yourself or estimate with other means (about 3-seconds worth of water from our kitchen tap).
The Russell Hobbs Paddington Kettle 18941 has an incredible 1L minimum fill, again according to CHOICE.
My RH variable temp has just died. Got 9 years out of it for $35 though
Any suggestions for a similar replacement at a reasonable price? Don't really need so many temps, apart from 100C we mainly only used 40C to warm the water a bit.
Has anyone replaced their kettle with one of those instant boil things? (like a pod coffee machine, without the coffee) Don't usually need more than a cup at a time, could be a good alternative though probably a bit pricey.
Coffee makers will generally have a tea or hot water setting, though they won’t actually boil the water. I think ours dispenses at 96°, which is enough to brew a decent cuppa.
I thought the noisy kettle is a feature so that It alerts me when it had finished :).
I wonder what technology makes it quiet boil?
