Key Features
The design of the kettle is how it looks to the observer. Jug designs are generally taller and thinner, whereas traditional kettles have a more classic design. While jug kettles generally can hold more water, the functionality of the two different designs is essentially similar.
This is the maximum amount of water that will fit in the kettle at once.
Cordless kettles have 2 parts, a base which is permanently connected to the wall socket which stays on the kitchen work surface and the jug part which can be independently lifted free from the base. This allows comfortable pouring and filling of the kettle whilst not being corded to the wall.
The element is the actual part of the kettle that works to heat the contents, and is usually some sort of metal coil. A concealed element means that this coil is built into the kettle out of site, whereas unconcealed means that the coils are visible to the eye at the bottom of the well. Unconcealed elements are prone to buildup that can decay the coil or change the taste of the water in the pot.

| Cons |
Tendency to leak, drips when pouring except when pouring very slowly or less than half-full |
| Bottom Line |
I would not recommend this kettle, though if you have the time and patience to boil small amounts and pour s-l-o-w-l-y, then it might work for you. |
