   Flipkart Service was superb..Got delivery in 3 days.
   About Product:
   Pros:
   1. Fast heating [as expected].
   2. Auto shut off works nicely.
   3. Cordless feature helps in ease of use.
   Cons:
   1. Worst part: Electric Cord\Wire length is short.
   2. Water level marking [Max. water level] is marked inside the kettle. You have to open to lid to see the marking and fill water accordingly.
   3. I could not find ‘Min’ water level marking.

   As pros and cons can be subjective I’ll try to be impersonal.
   Features:
   – Orpat = Indian Company (from Gujarat)
   – 1 Year India Warranty
   – Shuts off automatically when the work is done
   – Not suitable for boiling milk**
   – Boiling is pretty quick
   Design:
   – like a classical Kettle
   – the pic shown is not to ratio, it’s a little shorter and fatter in reality
   Outer material : Stainless steel (to me) (Aluminium officially)
   – Reflecting
   – appears durable
   – Gets hot while in use (though not a very big issue really without children)
   Capacity : 1.2 litres
   – Pretty Good (for many practical purposes)
   Practical Use:
   – Mouth size is average (circle of 3.2 inches diameter) (a little bit on the smaller size)
   – Everyone may not find it super easy to clean (especially those with bigger than average hands)
   – No complaints otherwise (pretty comfortable as such)
   **For boiling milk : You can
   1) Add water to the kettle
   2) Keep a steel ‘glass’ filled with milk inside the kettle (which is already filled with water)
   3) Switch on the kettle
   Along with water the milk will also get heated
   4) Take your ‘glass’ of milk out carefully after the kettle automatically switches off
   Do not ever add milk directly to the kettle for boiling. The milk will burn, stick to and stain your kettle. Be good and do not even try, else you may soon find yourself looking for people with small and flexible hands and asking them to clean it for you.
   God Bless You.

   Kannan Karthik – February 8, 2014

   I have purchased this product from Flipkart a month ago, and I deliberately delayed giving a feedback, because I needed to observe its performance over a period of a couple of weeks before giving a final verdict. Well I have to admit that this kettle is way better than the one I owned previously (the brand and make I am not mentioning here for obvious reasons). Apart from milk and water, I use it for preparing maggie, paneer and chicken soup.
   Here are the pros and cons.
   Pros:
   1. Boils very fast.
   2. The coil is not visible, which makes it ideal for preparing anything.
   3. The holding capacity is good enough and the build material is also good.
   Cons:
   1. The mouth of this kettle is small, which makes it a bit uncomfortable to clean.
   2. Sometimes the milk boils very fast and spills out. One way to avoid this is to keep the cap open while boiling.
   3. The wire may not be long enough for some people.
   As usual, flipkart delivery was super awsome and quick.Pure value for money.
