Review of European Dual Voltage Travel Water Heater Kettle - 2 Cups

Customer Ratings:

I am very pleased with the performance of this water heater. I have burnt up coils before, in just a few days, so I was reluctant to spend the money. I'm glad that I did. This heater worked fabulously on a 3 week trip to Peru at 220 voltage, and a week in Jamaica at 110, and is still going strong. It can bring water to boiling surprisingly fast. It takes up very little space in the suitcase too. I'm taking this baby with me everywhere I travel.

My wife and I travel 3-5 times a year. We both enjoy either tea or flavored coffees. Hotels and cruise ships do fine for delivering ready made coffee, but hot water is not always hot. By the time it goes into their thermos or pot, then is poured into a cold ceramic cup/mug, it is not at all piping hot! So, we either run water through the coffee maker without coffee and get that wonderful acidy after taste, or use the luke warm water provided.

This little travel pot is great. It is faster than our previous Frantz unit, and works perfect. The first dozen or so uses had a plastic tasting flavor, but we seem to have worked past that. Weight is not bad, size is minimal, and the piece nest together nicely for packing in a suitcase. The voltage can adapt to whatever country you are in, and we've never not been able to use it. Hotels, cruise ships, even bed and breakfasts. This unit gives us the flexibility to have morning or afternoon coffee at our leisure, and to have it HOT!

I looooove this gadget! It heats water real quick and it's very lightweight. I am a flight attendant and I fly international and in most foreign countries other than UK and France it is hard to find a Water Heater in the room. It's dual voltage so its a plus for me. I put it in a little puch and throw it in my suitcase and there we go. It's very lightweight and the cord wraps around it nicely.Also it brought a little 110 plug,how sweet.It's been already to Africa and Paris,not that you can't get a great cup of cafe au lait in Paris.But it's very convenient while I'm getting ready having a nice cup of tea or coffee. Haven't tried for soups yet,but I guess it'll do the trick as well.I totally recomend it.

Honest reviews on European Dual Voltage Travel Water Heater Kettle - 2 Cups

I bought it because i would be away from home on a third-world island for a couple of years. This item really doesn't have any viable competitors. So, i paid the exorbitant price for it, expecting at least the average electric kettle quality.

The first clue that it wasn't even average quality was that it came with a sticker saying something like, "This product contains materials known by the state of California to cause cancer in laboratory animals..."

It did have a strange chemical smell to it, which was also in the water i heated in it, but i thought it would eventually go away with use, which it did. ...probably, because i drank all of the chemical residues involved. :^)

Since i didn't see anything really comparable to it on the market, and i was busy getting ready for my trip, i decided to take my chances with the cancer causing chemicals, as we do daily with so many others...

After a couple of months of daily use though, i've stopped using it, because the internal bottom surface of it, which looks kind of like grey paint, began to chip,and dissolve those chips in the water i was heating in it for my tea.

So, especially considering the incredibly high price for this piece of junk, i would not recommend it, for either daily or occasional use...
