the Smart Kettle Clear
Designed for efficiency, this kettle features precise temperature control, reducing energy waste. Its intuitive interface ensures ease of use, while enhanced safety features and improved water measurement promote convenience and sustainability in everyday use.
Ergonomics
Ergonomics testing was conducted using foam prototypes to assess handle comfort, weight distribution, and ease of pouring. Various handle shapes and sizes were tested with multiple users to ensure a secure grip and natural wrist positioning. User feedback guided iterative refinements, improving comfort and reducing strain. Adjustments focused on balance, thumb placement, and ease of lifting. This process ensured the final design provides an intuitive, comfortable experience, making daily use effortless and reducing fatigue.
Enhanced Safety
The Smart Kettle Clear prioritises safety with dual glass walls for insulation, preventing burns while maintaining visibility. A ready tone signals when boiling is complete, reducing overheating risks. Removing the glass lid for a solid material minimises potential exposure to hot steam, enhancing user safety. These features combine to deliver functionality, sleek design, and safer use.
Energy Efficiency
The Smart Kettle Clear enhances energy efficiency with precise temperature control, reducing unnecessary boiling. Insulated dual glass walls retain heat, minimising reboiling and saving energy. Designed to boil only the required amount of water, it offers a practical, power-saving solution, combining convenience and eco-conscious performance for everyday use.
