Customers Say
Compact, lightweight travel kettle ideal for two mugs; includes handy cups and spoons. Boils water safely but can be slow. Some find the fixed cord inconvenient and the lead short. Good for arthritis and travel use.

Travel kettle
I bought it a couple of weeks ago and it works fine, but the lead could be a bit longer.

Check before going away
I am returning this on way home from holiday, plugged into the adapter and it melted, thought it was adapter so purchased another and smoke started to come from it. Obviously something wrong with the kettle!!

Looks good, feels well made, and does the job.
I bought this to replace a large standard Kettle, as I realised that due to arthritis in my hands, lifting the old one was getting more painful by the day. As I am by myself nowadays due to bereavement, I decided I did not need a big kettle so chose this one on both design and capacity. If fits the bill and I can now pour a coffee or tea with minimal pain. It does not have a separate base, so in order to fill it with the amount of water I need, I simply use a jug. Instructions suggest it will need descaling monthly, however that is no problem with a proprietary brand of descaler. It is also slower than a ‘rapid’ kettle, however that is no problem.

Good, efficient kettle
I bought this kettle to replace a Russell Hobbs one which was over 25 years old (still working but I felt it was time for a new one). It works very well and the only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is that the lid is a little difficult to open when I want to fill it.

A great portable kettle
Bought this to replace one exactly the same that was beginning to fail via the cable. I’d had it for a few years It has everything I was looking for – small portable and attractive to look at. A great product

Hello KRO,
Russell Hobbs 23840 Lightweight Travel Kettle - White.
When selecting a power generator for your caravan, consider the following factors to ensure you choose the right generator for your needs:
Power Output: Calculate the total wattage required for all appliances, lighting, and devices you plan to use simultaneously. Smaller generators (1000–2000 watts) are ideal for basic needs like lighting, phone charging, and a small fridge. Mid-sized generators (2000–3000 watts) can power additional devices like a microwave or TV. Larger generators (3000–4000 watts) are necessary for high-demand appliances like air conditioners or electric heaters.
Fuel Type: Choose between petrol, propane, or dual-fuel generators based on your preferences and the availability of fuel at your destination. Petrol is common, propane burns cleaner, and dual-fuel offers flexibility.
Noise Level: Look for generators with noise levels under 60 dB if you value a peaceful campsite. Inverter generators are quieter and more fuel-efficient, but they come at a higher cost.
Portability: Opt for lightweight designs with handles or wheels for easy transport.
Safety Features: Ensure the generator has safety features like low-oil shutoff, overload protection, and CO sensors.
By considering these factors, you can choose a power generator that meets your requirements without unnecessary drawbacks, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable caravan experience.
Thank you.
