Nicewell Portable Electric Kettle for Travel Global Use 110-240V

Nice, beautiful, portable kettle. I gave it a trial run since I will be traveling soon. This heats up quickly once you figure out how it works. Once you set the temperature you want, LIGHTLY press the on/off button and it should turn red, indicating that it is heating. I’m not used to using gadgets with flat buttons. So, note, if you press the button too hard, it will not function properly. I didn’t try the function that keeps the water at a certain temperature as I am more concerned about making hot water for cup of tea or instant oatmeal. I heated the water with the kettle open as suggested, I chose 212 degrees, since it didn’t seem like enough water. After I made my tea, I added some room temperature water and the temperature was just right. I usually drink a 12-ounce cup of tea. I don’t mind that it’s small as I like the sleek size to fit in my suitcase. I will update if I have new findings. Update: June 22, 2026 I traveled with this item and used it in my hotel to make my tea, and it was hot enough. I only use it to heat up water, and it works as intended. I would definitely purchase again.

My boyfriend loves this for travel. He travels monthly for work and loves to make himself tea or americano in his hotel room but hates hotel coffee, so brings his own equipment and coffee. This has been perfect for his needs and he can’t imagine traveling without it anymore! It’s like the size of a large-ish water bottle, durable, and works easily. Great for travel or on-the-go needs!

I purchased this travel kettle two times. Both were returned. First item stopped working. No power. Second item, inside of the kettle is rusting. This kettle is advertised Stainless Steel. Obviously, it is false advertising. I contacted Amazon and they referred me to the manufacturer. However, there is no way to contact the manufacturer (Nicewell) through the Amazon message app. The response message refers you back to Amazon customer who are not able to help. Amazon does not stand behind this product. I have made several calls to Amazon to help me contact Nicewell and so far no resolution. Do not buy this product!

First: Read the manual. It says not to put the cap on when boiling water. The people who say it overflowed when they took off the cap literally didn't follow the directions. Second: You don't need to set the temperature to 212 to boil water. The thermometer appears to lag behind the actual water temperature, I'm near sea level and it's boiling rigorously by the time it gets up to around 195 degrees on the front panel. Anyhow: the water capacity is about the size of a medium coffee mug. If you want to fill a large coffee mug you'll need a bigger travel kettle. It pulls 300 watts -- I measured it. So you can power it with a 300 watt inverter from your car battery, theoretically. And you won't blow a breaker in your hotel heating up water for tea. Which brings up the last problem: This thing takes 8 minutes to boil water. This slow boiling speed is the only reason I knock a star off. It's a function of the fact that it's using only 300 watts and the heating element is at the bottom of the kettle and the heat takes a while to move through the water. Still: It's a travel kettle. It's made to put in your luggage and be there when you need tea at the end of your trip. So 8 minutes is okay. Just a bit of a wait when you're waiting to boil water for your tea in your hotel in the morning. Oh well.

This little kettle is great. I love the temperature presets, even though I only use the boil temperature. It's nice to have other options. It only heats water for one mug at a time, but that is the point of a travel kettle. It's much smaller than my 32 oz water bottle, so it's easy to pack and take places. I wanted this specifically for a road trip I will be taking, and I want to be able to have tea and oatmeal and any other "just add hot water" meal options. It runs perfectly from my Jackery 1000 Power Bank. The power draw on it ranged from 280-290 watts, so the 300 watt power rating in the specs is very accurate. It's a great little kettle, and I hope it lasts for years. I like the solid construction and the fact that you can heat water and then put the lid on and use it as a thermos to keep the water hot for a while. It's also well insulated so it's not hot at all to the touch (on the top part) when the water has boiled and is ready to pour. The bottom part where the heating element is does get warm to the touch, but it doesn't feel super hot to where you could burn yourself. I'm very happy with the quality and build of this kettle.

Really nice electric teapot. You can also use it to travel. It has various heat settings and it also keeps the heat warm for a nice amount of time.

This is, by far, one of my favorite new gadgets for travel. I am a “coffee snob” and whether I am home or traveling, I need my morning coffee to get going. I also enjoy tea in the evenings. I have gotten “stomach bugs” from using those icky hotel coffee makers. This kettle is a game changer. I pack Mount Hagen instant coffee packs (see separate review) and some of my own tea bags, and have recently packed some instant oatmeal, and this kettle is awesome. It’s compact, and fits in my roller bag (actually fits in that indentation where the handle slides into the bag!) I pack the teabags and coffee packets right into it to travel (saves more space when space is a commodity). The kettle comes up to temp rather quickly (I keep the lid off for safety), and I set before I jump into the shower. When I come out, the water is hot, and I can make my coffee. Great travel companion for road warriors who like their own beverages. Also, saves you a ton of money and time. I don’t have to look for a coffee shop when I am crunched for time, and where I am paying $6 for a burnt-tasting product.

Got this to heat up water in an office that I didn’t want to bring a kettle to. It does boil water pretty fast. 2 stars off because the vent holes at the top don’t seem functional. It’s unclear whether the lid should be put on tight, in which case pressure would build and steam will shoot out after boiling, or if it should be left loose, in which case you have essentially an open boiling cup of water connected to a super short power cable.

Functional and quality product

It looks nice. I had to return it because it only shows the temperature in Fahrenheit and there is no way to change it to Celsius (the unit that all world using). I bought it just because I read someone in the questions said if you hold the temperature icon for 3 seconds it will change the unit but that’s not true. I don’t understand people who using Fahrenheit. !! The one star for the seller after sells service. I was trying to do a return, the return page asked me to (pay) the return label !!! It’s your fault you didn’t mention which unit does the product use, also you are using pictures for both units (Fahrenheit, and Celsius) !!! When I contacted Amazon SA they said “the seller didn’t allow Amazon to ship and return products”. In the return page the seller said that I can return it for any reason during first 15 days for free but that’s not true

Maravilhosa!

Calienta rápido y se apaga solo manteniendo el calor

Very nice product
