Waste of effort IMHO.

Too slow flow when you do want lots of boiling water and it hardly takes
long to boil a small amount of water in a kettle that is designed to cope
with a very small minimum load.

I did some sums when I first heard of them, and I agree, a kettle used
carefully (fill cup from tap, empty cup into kettle) will return
maximum energy efficiency.

But for instant cuppa tea convenience - and the reality that no-one
but me will ever gauge the kettle contents accurately - if they live
up to the advertising, I will eventually get one.

Does anyone else remember a Gas Board TV ad back the 60s which included the line:

"And with some gas water heaters, you can even make tea, straight from the tap!"
