    I have a 110v electric kettle and it works fine for me… flip the switch and it boils the water and auto shuts off when it’s done. Doesn’t really take that long imo, definitely quicker than microwaving the same amount of hot water or doing it on the stove. If I’m in a hurry It’s great for “preheating” the water before I dump it into the pot to make macaroni/ spaghetti etc.

    • Same. I didn’t realize it was so nice until my wife got really into tea. Now we have two kettles, a crappy one for pre-boiling water for the stove, and a nice one for tea (controls precise temperature).

      I still don’t drink tea, but I use the kettle at least once/week.
