Nedis 1.7L Soft-Touch Kettle, 2.2kW, Wood-Effect Handle

Description

This is a straightforward electric jug kettle with a 1.7‑litre capacity, a 2.2 kW concealed heating element and basic safety features. It suits households that need a reliable, quick-boil kettle for multiple cups at once and prefer a neutral grey finish with a wood‑effect handle rather than smart or temperature‑controlled functions.

Capacity and everyday use

A 1.7 L capacity is generous for domestic needs—useful when making several drinks in one go or when you have guests (manufacturer describes it as enough for six to eight cups). Bear in mind that a full kettle holds around 1.7 kg of water; with the kettle body the total lifting weight will be noticeably heavier (roughly 3 kg total), which is worth considering if mobility or wrist strength is an issue.

The kettle’s ergonomic design is stated to make pouring comfortable even when filled to capacity. The cordless 360° base makes it easy to place and pick up from either side.

Performance and safety features

The 2.2 kW concealed element will bring water to the boil faster than lower‑wattage kettles in the same class — the concealed element is also easier to wipe clean than exposed coils. The unit includes boil‑dry/overheat protection: it will not operate if there isn’t enough water in the chamber, which is a useful safety safeguard.

A removable anti‑scale filter helps reduce limescale getting into your cup and keeps heating performance more consistent over time. The product description emphasises a design intended to minimise limescale build‑up; you should still descale periodically where you have hard water (see maintenance below).

Design, dimensions and practical installation

The stainless steel body with rubber‑paint and wood‑effect handle gives a mixed‑material look intended to resist fingerprints and be easy to clean. The height is 250 mm, so check that this will fit comfortably under any low kitchen cupboards or shelves before buying. The 360° base and cord winder make it simple to store on a worktop and lift off in either orientation.

Electrically, the kettle is rated at 2,200 W, so it draws a substantial load from a standard mains socket. This is normal for domestic kettles, but avoid running it on extension leads or multi‑plug adaptors that aren’t rated for that current.

Maintenance and cleaning

The removable anti‑scale filter is the main user‑serviceable part for keeping beverages clear of sediment. As with any kettle in hard‑water areas, periodic descaling is advisable — the product description suggests the design minimises limescale but does not remove the need for routine cleaning. The concealed element is easier to wipe than exposed coils; however, do not immerse the base or the electrical parts in water. Refer to the included manual for the manufacturer’s cleaning and safety instructions.

Things to know before buying

• This is a basic, non‑programmable kettle: there are no variable temperature settings, keep‑warm modes or connected features.
• Noise level during boiling is not specified.
• A full kettle can be heavy to lift (roughly 3 kg when full), so consider this if mobility or grip strength is a concern.
• Ensure your outlet and any extension leads used are rated to handle 2,200 W.
• Check the 205 × 175 × 250 mm footprint/height against your storage space and worktop clearance before purchase.

If you want a straightforward, no‑frills 1.7 L kettle with a concealed element, anti‑scale filter and a muted aesthetic, this model provides those essentials without extra smart features.
