12V Car Electric Kettle, Travel Portable Electric Tea Coffee Kettle Fast Water Boiler & Heater Automatic Shut-Off (White)

I was looking for a way to boil water to make hot tea or coffee while I was driving/car camping and this fit the bill. It fits my cupholder and takes about 20 minutes to boil water.

This is a great little car kettle. It brings water up to a light boil in about 15 minutes (which is good for something that plugs into a cigarette lighter).It's simple to use and fits in a car cup holder.

My husband is an avid tea drinker - like 5 to 6 (20 oz) servings a day. So when we went on a week long road trip this thing was a must, and it worked like a charm. We timed it and it takes about 20 minutes until it boils. My husband's only complaint was that because the power cord plugs into the side it didn't fit in my cup holders, but if your cup holders have a slit on the sides it shouldn't be an issue. Even if you have to hold it while it heats the outside never gets hot enough to burn your hands. We love this little kettle!

Bought this for van life and it's been great so far! Much easier and more convenient than firing up the jet boil everyday.Pros:Lightweight and compact (makes about 16oz max)Simple and worksCons:I really don't understand the placement of the power plug on the device. I don't know what they were going for but they definitely got that wrong. It won't fit in a cup holder with the plug in (would need a large cup holder without plug).I wish I could drink from / make tea in it (too hot and awkward)I wish the insulation was better (entire device gets hot, but not too hot to hold)Mine does not shut off when the water boils, it just keeps going but not a big deal for me.Power consumption:Being off-grid power consumption is important. Unfortunately, boiling water takes a lot of energy (if you're using this with your car running you have nothing to worry about)The device uses 88 watts and takes me about 20 minutes to get hot (not boiling) water. So it's about 30 Wh (2.5 Ah at 12v) to heat water.A temperature setting with auto-shutoff would be great to save some power but I don't expect that at this price point.Bottom line, it works and it's a great alternative to jet boil if you can spare the power.

Worked okay at first. Took a long time to boil, 25 minutes +. The button was always a bit cheap feeling and didn't take long before it popped right back out when you go to turn it on. Had to pry the button out and rig it to stay pushed in just to get it to work at all. Now, it blew a 12v fuse, the wire plug end burnt out and it is unusable. Can't recommend this product

I travel a lot. It gets EXTREMELY hot, great for teas, coffees and even to make a cup of noodle soup or oatmeal in the morning.

We never stayed out of coffee and tea from way to Fl to Canada. Works well, takes about 20 minutes to boil the water.

It did heat up the water after about 30 mins. Brought to a boil but it only makes about a cup and half. Wasn’t that impressed so returned it but did work for my roadtrip to make noodles.
