Don’t buy SMEG. I was hoping its build different but its built the same with other electronics, to maximize profit. Won’t last 7 years, dont expect it to pass on to your kids.
Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

What would be really cool, is a kettle which has an alarm if the water is cooking. Some really high pitched noise so that everybody hears it. But the battery would probably die on that pretty soon. Hmm.
I don't think water is supposed to look red when you boil it.
They invented a water powered kettle a long time ago, but Big Conventional Kettle is hiding the technology
Sweet.
But does it need an app?
I just purchased the same one.
Got that same model in black. If it isn’t obv to anyone else, there’s a ring of blue LEDs around the bottom. They’re quite bright. Kettle works well, though.
Mine has the exact same bottom but a completely different top portion.
It's also such a nice gift for just about anyone who doesn't already own one
I don't see any electricity.
It's probably wireless. Everything is nowadays.
Dunno why brits insist on a whole other appliance to heat water for tea. Chuck a tea bag in a mug, fill with water, and toss it in the microwave for 2 minutes. EZPZ :>

Where's the elegance and sense of ritual? The ritual of making it slowly is so comforting.
