Cordless Kettle: How It Works, Types, and Smart Models

What is a cordless kettle and how does it work?

The cordless kettle is a practical and fast appliance for heating water in minutes, without having to use the stove. It consists of two parts:

• The electrical base , connected to the electrical outlet.

• The body of the kettle , equipped with an internal resistance that heats up when activated.

When the kettle is placed on the base, the metal contacts transmit electricity that heats the water. Once the set temperature (usually 100°C) is reached, the system automatically shuts off for safety and energy savings.

The main advantages

✅ Boiling speed
✅ Automatic shutdown
✅ No visible wires during use
✅ Easy cleaning and compact design

Kettle with Alexa: The New Smart Frontier

The Alexa kettle is the smart version of the traditional kettle. It connects via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to the Amazon Alexa voice assistant and allows you to:

• Turn the appliance on and off with voice commands (“Alexa, turn on the kettle”)

• Set the ideal temperature for tea or herbal teas

• Program boiling at the desired time

Some models also integrate with dedicated apps to monitor energy consumption or receive smartphone notifications. It's a perfect solution for those who love kitchen automation and want a more seamless and connected daily experience.
