DESC: This unique looking small appliance is actually a cordless jug kettle that boils water faster than a microwave oven or a stovetop burner. It quickly starts the boiling process at the touch of a switch - it will even boil as little as two cups so it's great for one person only. And for added safety, the jug kettle shuts itself off automatically when the water starts to boil; it will also shut itself off if the kettle is plugged in while dry. The special heating element resists corrosion and scale buildup.
