You're going to want to take this kettle out with you so you can show off! This is one cool kettle - literally! Insulated with a special plastic material, the heat from the water remains inside the kettle so the surface won't burn you. Clever features include boil dry protection and a lid that not only is operated by a push button but also incorporates a safety sensor which only allows the kettle to be activated when the lid is fully closed.

Early models did have some issues but the updated Mark 2 TW911P2 version has looks to have countered these and Siemens offers a 2 year guarantee. With a designer like F. A. Porsche and a manufacturer like Siemens you're going to make a point of inviting people in for coffee just to let them marvel at this modern work of art.

"I think you pay for the design of the product and not just its performance, but I love this kettle... This kettle is great for someone who is truly design-conscious and who wants a kettle that boils water quickly." - ciao.co.uk
