Ridgemonkey Square Kettle 1.1ltr, 10C5060432141158C10

Product Information

There is a reason that Square and Zettle score so similarly in our research – they are both excellent POS choices that perform their roles well for users. Hairdresser businesses, as an example, can use insights about their customers and what they bought to intelligently promote your hair care products. Neither Square nor Zettle excel in this area. That said, to make it even more customer-centric, and like the Square card machine, the Zettle could have a larger display screen. Some of my customer’s also prefer buttons to input their data rather than a touch-screen.” The Primus Litech Camping Kettle is our current ‘go-to’ anodized aluminium stove-top favourite. Primus should need no introduction, and their kettle is the definition of a clean design.

The base contains a hidden electric element which draws around 1kW of power. Boiling time is correspondingly slower than more power-hungry camping kettles, but it still comes in at under 5 minutes for the full kettle. It’s worth pointing out that the Quest kettle will automatically trip switch off once the water is boiling. The perfect way to ensure you can enjoy the benefits of a decent cuppa during your carp or coarse fishing session, this square kettle from the creative minds at Ridgemonkey is a bankside essential for any angler. We’d definitely suggest a cordless model on 360˚ swivel base, for ease of use. A cord store will keep things tidy on a worktop, and an easy-to-view water indicator is handy. Our overall best kettle was the De'Longhi Ballerina Kettle, which we rate for its usability and temperature-control functions. The Dualit Architect kettle also wins our approval for its sturdy build and good looks, and the Russell Hobbs Emma Bridgewater Kettle is the quietest kettle we tested. Why do I need a kettle?Still, there are a few brands out there that will be more-suited to certain types of small business users. For example, Lightspeed. Firstly the size – it measures only 11.4 x 18.9 x 21 cm but holds 0.85 litres of water which is about 1.5 pints – more than enough for several mugs of tea! That small size means it can easily be stored away in a campervan cupboard or camping gear storage box. The Russell Hobbs Emma Bridgewater Kettle is the quietest one we tested. It heats and boils virtually silently, which means you're unlikely to be disturbed if it's used when you're in a call or early in the morning. It's also a treat to look at, with a retro-contemporary design that comes in either a multi-coloured polka dot or a love heart pattern. There's also a matching toaster available, which we really enjoyed testing. The spout of this kettle makes pouring a treat, and the overhead handle is easy to hold and tactile. Is there a preference on the type of metal used in a kettle? Typically, stainless steel is used for the base of all camping kettles because it is so resilient and will also work well on induction hobs. The question then comes down to what metal is used for the rest of the kettle.

Zettle does not bowl us over in this category – but then, neither does Square. In fact, this is the latter's lowest-performing section.With a unique, cubed design, and lightweight, hardwearing anodised aluminium body, this Ridgemonkey kettle features a larger area for increased efficiency, ensuring you get your bankside brew sooner than you would with other makes of fishing kettle, while the cool touch handle means you can grab the kettle straight off the stove as soon as it comes to the boil, giving you a hot drink that will warm you right through from the first sip.
