In overall appearance, the iKettle doesn’t look too different from any modern kettle. It’s in the obligatory stainless steel, and has a powered base, leaving the kettle cordless. Even the temperature settings are becoming standard these days on higher-end kettles.

The iKettle generates its own wifi network for easy setup. You start by going into your iPhone’s Settings > Wi-Fi and look for the iKettle. Connect to this, then open the free iKettle app.

Once you do, the app prompts you to select your normal home wifi network and enter the password for access. The iKettle then connects to this.

The kettle can be used manually just like any other. Press the power button, which defaults to 100C, and then select a lower temperature if desired. If you want the kettle to keep the water hot after it’s reached the required temperature, press the left-hand ‘keep hot’ button.
