Smarter iKettle 3rd Generation by Smarter - WiFi Internet Smart Kettle, 3000W, White and Gold Stainless Steel, Electric, Digital Temperatures, iOS, Android App, Alexa Enabled with Keep Warm Function

Simple to connect and amazing to use. Wake up to boiling water, arrive home to a boiling kettle, tell Alexa to turn on the kettle(add the Smarter skill) - I wish I had this kettle when my two children were small, it would have saved me hours with formula milk.When you consider that a 'dumb' stylish kettle can cost almost £100, this is amazing value for money. It looks very nice in the kitchen but most of all every function is so simple to use.There is a manual switch on the kettle so when you are in the kitchen so when you are close by you can just press the button.I searched their website and there is also a bean to cup coffee machine and the Fridgecam that both look amazing. Love the tech, love the app and love showing my friends something so simple and that I used multiple times per day.

Got to say I love this kettle. I bought it for Alexa control - the geek that I am. But apart from showing my fiends I can turn it on through Alexa, I've never actually used the voice control, although I can see that I would do, from upstairs, to boil the kettle when I get up - just got to remember to fill it up the night beforeThe kettle is very solidly built, and screams quality. I like the on/off press illuminated button. Much nicer than a normal kettle. Inside it is all metal. The downside to the metal construction is there no water level indicator. It would a nice feature if the manufacturer added some form of LED bar on the outsideConnection to WiFi was hassle free. Connected immediately no problem at allI found the kettle to sit there boiling for an excessive amount of time, at least 10 seconds. Wasn't happy with that. So I have adjusted it to temperature to 95 degrees. This allows it to over boil (at least 10 seconds), but switch off quicker (at 95 degrees - so it thinks) - My logic being it will over boil and I'll still get 100 degree water. In any case it makes tea fine whatever the actual temperature is (is it 95 or 100 degrees - who knows)Getting a notification on your phone every time the kettle boils is annoying. So I've turned notifications off. It would be nice to be able to choose which notifications are sentOverall I highly recommend this kettle, even if you just use it just as a kettle and not via Alexa

Kettle looks good and feels well made. The finish is contemporary and simpleIt was simple and quick to set up, connecting to my Apple iPhone required the base to be turned upside down and the phone screen facing a sensor. A word of warning to sufferers of epilepsy, the screen flashes rapidly as it pairs with the sensor on the base of the charger. Amazon doesn’t have a kettle listed as a connected device and as a work around it is listed as a thermostat. This does limit the skill to turning on/off and heating the water to a set temperature. The app to control the kettle is clean and functional however the kettle is really only able to show up to half full, full or empty. I had hoped I could see how many cups/mugs of water was in the kettle. I also miss the gauge on the front of the kettle telling me how much water is in it. None of this is a major problem, just some observations. After setting up my kettle and registering it with the manufacturer I received and email inviting feedback. I mentioned a couple of my observations and quickly received a reply explaining the reasons for limited Alexa skills. I feel confident if I had an issue they would be quick to get back to me. Overall I like the kettle, I do think it is expensive for what it is, however it is in line with comparable devices sold by other manufacturers. If you are getting a new kettle anyway I would still pay that little bit more and get this one if only for the gimmick of having Alexa turn on the kettle! Alexa.....!

This was bought to replace an Appkettle which unfortunately started to leak after 3 years. The Appkettle worked fine until the company appeared to cease trading around the beginning of the year so we have had lots of experience asking Alexa to switch the kettle on.The Ikettle works flawlessly ever time with Alexa. Haven’t tried Google yet and haven’t looked into the Siri option. To my knowledge it does work yet with HomeKit.Very easy to set up, set boiling temperature and add to routines in Alexa.You can also use a kind of geofencing option that would switch it on when you approach the house after being out for the day.Set your temperature to 95. When it’s finished heating, it rises to nearly 100 on its own so saves you that little bit of electricity every time you use it.A little on the expensive side as many of the reviews show it as a bit cheaper than the price now, and no doubt will be reduced for Black Friday but a great addition to your smart home.

Initially thought this to be a great product. I've built an automated home with smart devices and this was a nice edition initially. However, after 1 month, I boiled it one night, I poured some water from it and as I sat it back on its base station it short circuited and tripped all the power in the house. After turning the power back on at the fuse board the kettle had completely stopped working and showed no signs that it was even receiving power. I checked it thoroughly and could not find a single reason for this occurring, no water had gotten into the base connection or anything. After this I switched the fuse to see if i could fix it, but to no avail. I contacted support and as the item was no longer in stock they could not replace it.

It’s a really sexy looking kettle. Maybe could do with an external volume guide but I think that would spoil the look so I’m quite capable of looking inside to see how much water is in there. I love the fact that I don’t have to go into the kitchen to wait for it to boil because my kitchen is freezing. Home mode is good except you cannot change the radius which means that it’s not boiled by the time I actually get it but have set an alarm instead for a Friday night when I get in from the pub. Quite expensive I guess but so far it’s proving its worth. Can’t help but love a gadget
