Ultrathin Upgraded Food Grade Silicone Travel Foldable Electric Kettle Boil Dry Protection Portable with Dual Voltage and Separable Power Cord,555ML 110-220V US Plug

I bought this as a gift for my husband for traveling, since he loves his coffee and doesn’t like most hotel room coffee options. Turns out we both truly love it. We have used it in hotel rooms and in our camper. We are headed to Europe and had planned to bring it along but we have now decided to go with only carry on luggage and felt like it used too much space. It is sturdy and more stable than I expected it to be. It heats water very quickly just like the larger one we have in our kitchen at home. It is easy to pop up and to disassemble and put away. It is very light weight, but in its case it does use a bit of space. If you travel with checked bags it is perfect to pack and bring along. Car travel or camper is absolutely perfect for this size. Plus the color is lovely. It does have a setting for use in Europe with their higher voltage outlets. This is a great gift for world (or local) travelers!

We got this so we can make coffee when on the road, so many hotels now have keurig coffee machines which makes it less then idea to make tea or french press coffee in the room. This kettle folds up very nicely and handle folds conveniently out of the way so that it takes up very little room in luggage.Easy to unfold and lock handle in place. Make sure the lid aligns via the arrow indicator so that it pours out easily when water boils. Do this before the water boils!!!! Otherwise you will burn your fingers trying to adjust after the fact!The water heats up fast and the kettle is stable enough. However, the device gets very hot. Don't touch the top when pouring, as you will burn your fingers. Don't touch any of the silicon parts when water boils. The kettle is stable enough if you lock the handle in place properly and the lead seals so that you don't have to worry about water spilling all over the place.Obviously this is not as good as a home kettle, but for use on the road it really does a nice job!!

I purchased this because I am an avid coffee drinker and I was going to be traveling to Europe and wanted to ensure I had my morning coffee available each day without having to go out each morning to get one. I used my Bodum French Press mug, ground coffee, and heated up water in this kettle every morning for the two weeks we were in Europe and it was perfect! Didn't take long to heat up water at all and it gets HOT. There is no adjustable temp on this like you would see with a typical electric kettle, but that wasn't something I needed. The only issue I have with the kettle is that it's very difficult to see the fill line on silicone. If it were in a different color than the color of the kettle it would be easier. Very easy to clean and one of the best things is that it's super easy to take apart and put back together and it fits easily in it's hardshell carrying case. My husband was also able to use it for water for his tea. Although I don't use it except for traveling (I use it for any travel I do now, not just to Europe), it is totally worth it and I would highly recommend!

The media could not be loaded. Works like a charm, I like that the handle comes off and it comes in a travel case. It’s the perfect size for one serving at a time, the only thing I didn’t like was that you have to unplug it every time you want to refill it which is a little inconvenient

This is really quite impressive. Most important: it boils its max capacity water in about 4 minutes. If it lasts me a few years through multiple trips, I will be very very happy. The dual voltage is invaluable, especially for anything that generates heat like this (higher wattage than electronics, for example). I haven't tried it abroad yet, but I've ordered a simple plug adapter and remain hopeful.My most significant complaint, and it is not trivial: The little instruction book is really inadequate. Most notably, getting the handle into position is perplexing. Getting it off and folded "away" is even more mysterious. However, I'll note that the mechanism depends on pulling on a really tiny piece of plastic. I would really worry about that breaking when everything else is fine, and using this without the handle would be close to impossible. So I will actually avoid messing with that handle most of the time. That is, I'll avoid folding the pot down unless I must pack it for travel and I won't even try to attach the handle in its folded position. I'll leave it loose -- in this really really nice, hard-sided case the kettle came in.That traveling case is called a "bag" in the description, but it is a hard-sided case. That was a total surprise and very welcome. THANK YOU!I've also taken to using this kettle without the lid. This is not a defect, and I need to be a little careful about the steam rising as I pour the water. But with the lid, you can't see or hear when the water boils. There is every chance that the water will start splattering when you are not watching the kettle. This is true even if you do not fill it past the "max" marking, as I did at first because the marking is not all that visible *AND* the instruction booklet did not mention it. A second problem with the lid (for me): I had a slight tendency to depress the kettle unconsciously as I tried to remove the lid, and that strikes me as even more dangerous. Again, this is not a defect, just a fact of life with a foldable kettle. So there is a learning curve here, with such an astonishing invention. And for these two reasons, I'll continue using this without the lid.The "permanent" reusable filter sounds like a nice idea. Virtuous even. But the bottom line is that such filters are a real nuisance to clean with no garbage disposal in the sink. I don't have one at home and I really don't expect one in any hotel room (where I *DO* expect that I won't want to spend another few minutes cleaning my filter and managing the trash). So I've already bought and am already using a foldable silicone holder for paper filters. Problem solved.
