Are the tea bags inside that kettle or are they boiling someones first piss in the morning after a heavy night out?
It takes all the misery out of making a cup of tea.
How much?
What’s the point as you still have to put water in it and pour it into something. It’s like half a convenience.
I think €40 or €50. I wouldn’t buy one but I’d like one as a present: I just mean someone would be there, “that’s a cool looking kettle” “hold on (taps app and kettle starts boiling)” “Oh that’s mad! When did you buy that?” “Oh Jaysus I didn’t buy it, it was a present” “Ah makes sense”
When do you put the tea bags in ??
Can’t leave them in, you’d have to get up put them in, then turn on with wifi..
If I could make it stop at a particular temperature before the boil, that would be great.
I’d argue anyone who would consider a kettle that involves less getting up is absolutely old enough for this technology. *makes dadnoises getting out of armchair*
I view these like smart washing machines. You’re stood at the thing anyway just push the button…
Got my dad something like this a few years ago. It was a kettle you could control through an app. He drinks at least 5 pots of tea a day and has back issues so we thought it would make a few less journeys to the kitchen if he refills the kettle when he makes a pot, then switches it on from his chair for the next pot etc. But we realised after buying it you can’t actually do that. The app just lets you see that status of your boiling kettle, but you still have to manually switch it on. Never been used.
Aye, but it needs some “Hub” which I think is proprietary.
I couldn’t be arsed personally.
Fills kettle, turn on kettle. Kettle boils, makes tea, vs. Fills kettle, uses app to turn on kettle, kettle boils, makes tea. Wanders into another room.
Fancies more tea, someone has used the water, kills kettle after telling the app to boil kettle.
I dunno, there is prolly some safety feature to prevent that.
But meh. Lidl tools are generally grand, Lidl electrics/electronics on the other hand. Not so much.
Like the odd use sure, but a daily grind, nope
Ah, sure that’s just a hotspot.
I’ve had a smart kettle for 7ish years, and she’s gorgeous. I can tell her to boil while I’m walking home from the train. It’s beautiful.
Probably harvesting data lol
It’s made by silver crest so will most likely end up in flames after 6 months 🤣🤣
I got the Breville one cup from lidl yesterday. Kettle’s been broke for over a week now and the landlord has yet to even respond about replacing it. Its time efficient and energy saving in that it only boils the water you’re gonna use, but goddamn is it LOUD.
Kinda reminds me of a smeg toaster.
Costs over €150 but still just does one job the same job that a €20 one would do
