Nedis 1.8L Electric Kettle – 360° Base, Boil-Dry Protection

Description

This Nedis electric kettle is a straightforward, high‑capacity boil for kitchens that need to serve several people at once. With a 1.8‑litre tank, concealed 2,200 W element, a Strix controller and a 360° cordless base, it suits households that want a fast, robust kettle with simple controls and an emphasis on safe, low‑maintenance use.

Who this is for

• Families or households that regularly make multiple drinks at once — the 1.8 L capacity is large enough for several cups without repeated refills.
• People who prefer a practical, traditionally styled kettle (stainless steel with wood and rubber‑paint finishing) rather than a plastic appliance.
• Those who value simple, reliable safety features (boil‑dry protection and a Strix controller) and left/right handed convenience from a rotatable base.

Capacity and everyday use

• Capacity: 1.8 litres — the manufacturer describes this as enough for roughly six to eight cups per boil. In practice this means you can make drinks for a family or a small group without having to re‑boil repeatedly.
• Practical consequence: when full the kettle will be noticeably heavier to lift and pour (the kettle body is 1.64 kg empty; filled with 1.8 L water it will weigh approximately 3.4 kg). If you frequently only need one or two cups, a smaller kettle will save counter space and heft.

Power, controls and safety

• Heating element: concealed 2,200 W element — this provides brisk boiling compared with low‑wattage models. Concealed elements give a flatter interior surface that’s easier to wipe and less likely to accumulate limescale directly on a coil.
• Controller: fitted with a Strix® controller — Strix is a widely used kettle controller that manages the boil‑dry and auto‑cut‑off functions reliably, so you get consistent shut‑off once the water boils.
• Safety: boil‑dry protection is built in so the kettle won’t operate if there isn’t enough water, reducing burn‑out risk.
• Note on mains: at 2,200 W the appliance draws a significant current from a standard UK supply (roughly 9–10 A on a 230 V circuit). Avoid using the kettle on a socket that’s already supplying other high‑power appliances.

Design, cleaning and maintenance

• Construction: stainless steel body with wood and rubber‑paint finishing — this aims to combine durability with an attractive finish. The finish will be easier to keep looking good if wiped with a soft, damp cloth rather than abrasive cleaners.
• Limescale control: a removable anti‑scale filter is fitted to reduce limescale in the poured water and make the spout area cleaner. Concealed element reduces visible scale on a coil but does not eliminate scale formation overall. In hard‑water areas you should expect to descale the kettle periodically.
• Handling: soft‑touch controls (title indicates soft‑touch) and an ergonomically designed handle aim to make pouring comfortable even when full. The cordless 360° pirouette base makes it easy to place the kettle on the base from any angle.

Size, footprint and installation

• Dimensions (mm): length 270 × width 250 × height 290. These are compact enough for most kitchen counters but check under‑cupboard clearance if you keep the kettle beneath wall units — the height is about 29 cm.
• Cord storage: a cord winder is integrated into the base, which helps keep the countertop tidy and reduces excess cable length. The kettle sits on a separate cordless base so you lift and carry the kettle to pour without the cord.

Things to know before buying

• Weight when full: expect a total weight of roughly 3.4 kg when the kettle is filled to capacity — consider whether you or other regular users are comfortable lifting and pouring that much.
• Power draw: 2,200 W is a high rate for a domestic appliance; avoid plugging the kettle into an already heavily loaded socket or using it alongside other high‑power devices on the same ring.
• Maintenance: concealed element and removable filter make cleaning straightforward, but regular descaling is still necessary in hard‑water areas to maintain performance.
• Finish care: the wood and rubber‑paint finishes will require gentle cleaning to avoid marking; avoid strong abrasives that could damage the surface.
