The 'O-Kettle' is a modern electric kettle from 'XY Design' that boasts several innovative features over traditional kettles. The heating stand on the O-Kettle has a rotating dial with a built-in OLED screen to allow for intuitive temperate control down to the exact degree of the water temperature, as opposed to traditional electric kettles which merely have an on and off button.
The element that the kettle uses to heat up runs at an astonishing 1,500W, meaning boiling water is extremely fast. For example, boiling water up to 100°c takes only 3 minutes and 31 seconds, and the kettle is capable of maintaining this temperature for up to an hour, should the consumer desire. For the busy consumer, the O-Kettle has a built-in timing feature as well as the ability to remember previously set temperatures automatically.
For the design of the O-Kettle, the entire appliance is covered in a chic matte black finish with no unsightly aspects on either the kettle or its stand. On top of this, the handle of the O-Kettle features an O-shaped ring at the top which prevents the holder from burning their hand while bringing their hand as close to the kettle as possible for optimal pouring control.
The O-Kettle is not yet released, though consumers can pre-register to order one on XY Design's website.
