One problem that aggravates the light contacts is lifting the kettle
off the base before the thermostat trips. The contact on the kettle
base isn't really man enough to break several amps although it can
carry that current.

We have a Dualit equipped kitchen.

Kettle still as noisy as ever after 13 years. Nice to be able to boil a
cupful of water in a big capacity kettle. Nice also to clean out the
lime scale without having to struggle round an immersed element.

Some years ago, R4 did a piece on what was claimed to be the noisiest
kettle in the world! No names were mentioned but it sounded familiar:-)
