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

A bit heavy but very useful for travel
I work for the airlines and also vacation travel a lot. I carry a small pump-style portable espresso maker for work and when we travel since it’s our preferred caffeine medium. Some places don’t have hot water available in the hotel rooms (no tea kettles or just grungy coffee makers) so this is good for that. It would be overkill for just two espressos but we also travel with a couple of vegan backpacker meals on vacation since my wife is allergic to dairy and doesn’t eat meat and it isn’t always easy to find her a decent meal on short notice. She also has some blood sugar / hangry issues so it just makes sense to have a backup plan for her. This is great for those since they require more boiling water. It packs nice and flat with a nice case. It’s a little heavy but for me it’s worth carrying with me. The handle works pretty well and it’s comfortable to pour. The silicone is sturdy enough that it doesn’t feel like it’s going to collapse at any moment and having the option to use other voltages is really nice in other places in the world. It also boils pretty fast

Great for traveling!
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!

Hopefully a great little camping kettle
I’ll start with the caveat that I haven’t taken this camping and I’ve only had it a short time (hours), enough to run some tests and decide that it’s worth pursuing further. First I’ll answer a few questions and doubts I had about the product before purchase.I bought the blue one in May 2023 and it did come with the case as shown in the pictures even though the listing states “zipper foldable storage bag”.I saw concerns about removing and reinstalling the lid given the flexible body, these seem unfounded. If I’m not careful, yes, I could smash the body and cause a splash of hot liquid, but I don’t think this is a serious concern. It’s potentially holding hot liquid, handle it with an appropriate degree of caution. It’s not difficult to remove or replace the lid without flexing the body. Also note that the lid leaves an opening for pouring with it on, it’s not required to remove the lid to pour the liquid. I don’t have concerns regarding the stability of the body attaching to the handle while pouring and I can easily put my thumb on the nub should I have doubts there.I see no evidence of oily film and especially no indication of transfer of such to the liquid inside with my kettle.I saw a video suggesting it would be difficult to clean given the accordion-like interior. Guess what, it’s flexible! I can get a couple soapy fingers everywhere inside it.I saw concern over removing the power cord from the kettle with hot liquid inside. Again, handle it with the appropriate degree of caution. Wiggle the plug and it comes out. I imagine this will only get easier with use.At 5000ft elevation, the auto-off at boil feature does not seem to work. I let water boil continuously for several minutes and it never cycled itself off. Use only under supervision.Performance is pretty close to advertised. On the 110V setting, my Kill-a-watt shows it draw 780W and heats 12oz of water from 75F to 200F in 2m45s.For camping, unfortunately I don’t have an 800W power station, but I do have a Bluetti EB3A with a 600W inverter (this is by no means an endorsement of the EB3A – it was on sale). This kettle will immediately trip the overload on the inverter with default settings. However the EB3A does have a “Power Lifting” feature which can be enabled in the app and claims to be able to run restive loads rated at up to 1200W at reduced voltage and current. In this mode is will run this kettle and the Kill-a-watt reports that it draws 540W at ~100V. It heats 12oz of water from 73F to 200F in 5m00s and in the course of doing so drops the battery from 100% to 83%.Another option, if you’re power constrained, is running the kettle on the 220V setting from a 110V source (please don’t do the opposite). In this mode the kettle draws only 200W and requires 11m00s to heat 12oz of water from 73F to 200F. Certainly a better result than even the advertised heating time from some of the 12V kettles on the market. Obligatory use at non-recommended settings at your own risk warning.

You should be very careful when using this it boils over and spills on you and does not stop till you unplug it from the electricity. I’ve also got steam burns from it it’s very dangerous and I don’t advise getting it.

Surprised there is no safety certification Mark on this product that was sold on Amazon? Very strong plastic smell water after 3 boil…. The unit is small and cute perfect for traveling if you do not mind product is not tested for Safety certification as a consumer product the. That would be fine…however, To me, it is a safety hazard thus returning the product.
