What is the best travel 12v car kettle so that you never have to miss out on a perfect cuppa, even when in the car? We go through some of the best car kettle options out there to see what works and what doesn’t.

Car travel kettles come in a few different sizes and shapes. We have reviewed 5 very different sized travel kettles, which hopefully has one that fits your requirements and space.

There are two normal shaped and familiar-looking kettle types, the collapsible silicone kettle and the Streetwize 12v kettle. The collapsible silicone kettle is a mains kettle requiring 110v/120v but we have reviewed this because it is a travel kettle that you can pack away easily and takes up very little space, meaning when you arrive at your destination, you can get a cuppa on.

Then we have three vertical tall mug shape kettles, all 12v plug-in kettles and should fit in your cup holders in your car comfortably.

Before we get going with the comparisons and in-depth reviews of the 12v kettles and water heaters, You’ll need to think about how you are going to store water. We specifically use a 20L water container, like the one below, which stows away very easily and holds enough water, not just for boiling and the odd cup of tea, but for emergency situations too.

Below we will compare the best car kettles for different reasons, there are some fantastic options out there, let’s see.

The Spardar 12v water heater is perfect for a multitude of water heating tasks. If you need hot water whilst travelling with a baby, you can control the temperature that you will need to warm food or to add to a drink and you know you won’t be handing them boiling water. It doesn’t have the biggest volume and capacity for boiling water, at 350ml, but it’s more than adequate for a couple of small cups of tea.

The Spardar was one of the fastest to boil at just over 15 minutes. To make two cups of tea, just have it ready 20 minutes before you arrive at your stop and rest point and you’ll have lovely hot water waiting for you.

The Easy Way Car Electric Mug is our second-best car kettle. It has some technical features similar to the Spardar but is let down in boil time. It takes nearly 10 minutes more to boil the water and that means it isn’t the best car kettle.

What we really like about these two is that you can keep the water warm inside even after they have boiled. We talk more about their features in their individual reviews. You can boil your water well in advance and keep it at the temperature that you need for your journey.

If you want a kettle for your holiday destinations then the Burling collapsible kettle is for you. It can pack away smaller than any other kettle so this is by far the best kettle to travel with and use when at your destination.

Finlon is the perfect commuters cup, if you are only going to require a warm or hot drink for a single journey each day, from home or the office, this cup can be perfect for you. It’s very simple, it doesn’t boil, it warms your thermos mug whilst a drink is already in it.

If you are a slow drinker and only use this for commutes, you can make your fave morning beverage and have it kept warm for your entire commute. This is especially handy through winter when it is extra cold outside and you can get into your car or van and have a hot drink not lose its heat as quickly as your start your commute.

You can keep the 12v lead for this mug in your vehicle and keep the mug with you separately. You can make your tea in your mug whilst in your own kitchen and then bring the cup to your car and plug it in to keep warm. We find that in the first few minutes of a journey, even in a thermos mug, our tea cooled too much for us. With the Finlon and similar tech 12v cup warmers, you don’t have this problem anymore.

If you have a large family and all like a hot drink when stopping off for a break, or want a 12v kettle option for your camper van, then the Onever will handle your needs. It is a standard kettle design and can boil up to 0.75 litre of water. 

It does take a while to boil but if you begin the boil before you stop, you could time it well so that you don’t have to wait when you are stationary.

This is a review of the Spardar Car DC12V Electric Kettle. A water heating and thermos type water heater that looks the part, let’s see how it does on the road.

The Spardar electric car kettle is a sophisticated looking 12v water heater. Its sleek design also encompasses the use of particular materials used not only for longevity but for safety. The kettle is made from stainless steel that is excellent at being resistant to corrosion. The kettle once closed is vacuum-sealed and insulated. Its detachable power supply also provides extra safety and ease of use. So when heating up, it just sits on its power supply base, and when in use can be detached and moved around your camper van or car where it is needed.

The kettle is also made using food-grade silicone and an anti-slip base. Its slim shape does not make it particularly sturdy but makes it fit into cup holders, which is probably the best design for a car travelling as you don’t really have any large flat spaces to place things in a vehicle. There is even a carry handle to the top of the kettle for ease of transportation and passing it around.

The main point in question is how well does it boil? Well after a speedy 16 minutes your kettle will have boiled. It is not quite the same as your home kettle, at home you’ll have a 2000w kettle running on 220volts. However for heating via your cigarette lighter at 12 V, 16 minutes is rather good and we were very impressed.

Its intelligent ability means it does not just boil to 100c, it has an LED temperature gauge to the front of the kettle so you can stop the boiling process at any temperature you want. It is simple to use simply pour in the water (no higher than the safety line). Then press the Thermometer sign and set the kettle to boil, it is not particularly noisy and its non-slip base will make sure it will not fall over in the process of boiling. Once boiled if you press the heated cup button this will keep the water heated till you are ready to use. Fantastic. I would just make sure you remember which button to press.

The kettle holds 350ml allowing for two cups of tea or coffee or even works well for cups of soups or noodles. There is also an auto-off function so that if there is no water inside it will not turn on. The Spardar electric kettle is the most pricey car kettle we have tried out however it has many positives.

• Made using high standard materials
• Easy to use
• Made with convenience in mind
• Fits in a cup holder
• 16 minute boiling time
• Has an auto-off safety feature
• Digital temperature display
• Next day delivery with Amazon Prime
• Great for both drinks and soups/pot noodle
• More expensive than others available

The Spardar electric 12V kettle is an exceptionally well made and functional travel kettle, built for road trip adventures of all kinds.

• ➤Convenience and Safety - Detachable charging base ,15A fused. Boil and Keep your water hot while on go during driving. UNIVERSAL for all 12V DC cigarette power outlets. The auto-off of its safety design will be performed when water reach boiling temperature or when the jug is empty and dry.

The Onever electric kettle is a simple, yet sleek water heater. It is shaped much like a thermos flask and can hold up to 750ml of water inside. 

Inside the mug is a 304 stainless steel insulated liner providing further insulation and making it clean. The outside of the mug is stainless steel as well. 

There are no gimmicks here – twist the lid and pour in the desired amount of water (up to 750ml). The switch is very convenient for keeping the mug sealed until ready to use.  It roughly takes about 20-25 minutes to boil the water.

We can see this kettle as a perfect solution for longer drives.

• Can boil to 750ml of water
• Uses 12V therefore suitable for most cars, vans, SUVs and trucks.
• Stops when the water is boiling 
• Not the fastest heating travel cup

The Onever Car Electric kettle does not just warm, it actually boils.

• ✔️Food Grade Material, Safety First==Portable Tea Kettle made of double layer 304 stainless steel, PBA free, no pungent odor. All parts in contact with the hot water are made of food-grade material. Automatically power off after boiling to prevent dry burning. Built with a Heat-Resistant Anti-Slip Grip Handle, no worries of it slipping out of your hands or getting burned while holding it.

This is a review of the Streetwize SWK2 12v Large Capacity Kettle. This is more of a standard house kettle, but smaller and one that you can run from your cigarette lighter in your car.

The Streetwize SWK2 12V kettle, looks like a standard basic kettle but in a smaller travel format. It is made from a hard plastic material. The plug also is not detachable from the kettle. 

It can hold 1 litre of water which is a huge amount of water in comparison to other travel kettles on the market. You will be able to get 3 cups of your favourite hot drink which means everyone in the car can get a hot drink when you stop off for a tea break. When the kettle is boiling you’ll find a red light comes on and you’ll know its ready to pour.

It takes about 15-20 minutes to boil when you have about half filled it. What I did find was that when you full it to its 1-litre capacity you are looking at least double the time of 30+ minutes, which I did not realise, at first we thought it wasn’t working. It is worth saying this up as with a quicker boiling kettle you could have made enough for the capacity it holds in a quicker time.

• Cheap and cheerful price
• Standard kettle design
• Takes a while to boil
• Plug not detachable
• Not suitable for trucks

The Streetwize SWK2 is a simple travel kettle that does what it says on the tin, providing you with a lot of water for hot drink making as long as your happy to wait a while.

Streetwize - 1000ml Portable Car Kettle - 12V - Water Heater for: Caravans, Motorhomes, Travelling and Camping

• TRAVEL READY HOT WATER KETTLE: Streetwize electric kettle has been designed with the traveller, camper & caravanner in mind. a hot cup of tea/coffee is a luxury. This portable water heating appliance is ready for all journeys, equipped with a durable design and user-friendly features. A must-have when assembling your camping gear or packing for a holiday.

This is a review of the Finlon Stainless Steel 12V Electric Mug, a simple yet practical car kettle. There are many like this car kettle where many companies have rebranded it.

The stainless steel travel mug by Finlon is a simple and easy travel mug. I have to say I have owned a few similar to this n the past, just without the 12v connection. They are incredibly cheap, but you can’t buy them via Amazon Prime so you have to wait a few days for delivery. An important factor with this mug is it is not a kettle, you add your hot water when at home and this mug will then keep your hot beverage warm.

This makes it a great day tripping mug or to use for long days at work where you want your favourite hot drink at the ready and warm.

It is made from stainless steel with a hard plastic lid and a fairly long cable to go into your cigarette lighter in the car. The detachable power supply means it turns from a heating mug to an easy-drinking mug that can happily sit in a drinking holder. It has a non-slip base to the mug and the lid has a sliding opening to drink from the lid or take the lid off. My main gripe with this mug is it needs regular cleaning and I tend to find your hot drinks after a while taste a little plastic/metallic. It is hard to describe but similar tastes come from other mugs that we have had previously that look the same and use similar materials.

Whether you will like this product or not is dependent on your version of “warm” and if you like that version. As there is no temperature gauge it is best to imagine that you have left your tea or coffee standing for about 10 minutes I would say. For some, this may be perfect. I felt it worked well at keeping it warm but then it depended on your length of time away from your vehicle. If you are about to drink it as soon as the vehicle has stopped then you have the best deal here. Either way, you really have not paid a great deal for an item that could brighten your day especially if it is a cold day. 

That is where this mug comes into its own, on a cold winters day, like now, you know that your tea or coffee will last more than a few minutes, even in a cold car. Look forward to a drink that takes a lot longer to cool, so if you have a long commute, this could be the perfect accompaniment to your daily drive.

• Simple and easy to use design
• Non-slip base
• Stainless Steel material
• Does not boil
• Depends on your definition of “warm” whether you will be happy with it. 
• No temperature gauge. 
• No next day delivery 

The Finlon travelling mug is a heater and not a kettle. Perfect for those journeys where you enjoy a nice warm drink sat in your car or van after a good long hike, bike ride or dive.

This is a review of the Burling Mini Electric Travel Kettle, a small silicone and collapsible travel kettle you can use when you get to your destination.

This kettle does not have a 12v cigarette lighter fitting and we used this when we arrived at our holiday and travel destination because it packs away small compared to a normal size kettle.

The collapsible travel kettle by Burling has a clean and fresh design. It weighs 517g without water and has a capacity of half a litre. It fills up easily like a normal kettle with an opening top lid and spout. Its handle to the side is strong and sturdy. When you first buy it you will find it neatly compacted down, don’t expect it to go completely flat as it cannot due to the electrics and base of the kettle which are used with heating the water. Literally, just pull the top up and it will spring right up and when you’re plugged in, will be ready to use.

I did have initial concerns over it being collapsible as well as holding boiling water but there is no need to be worried. The walls are made from a sturdy food-grade silicone and do require a little force to compress. As it also does not compress flat the amount of water that it holds means if the top did compress down the water will effectively stay contained in the bowl at the base and not escape, as long as it is not near the lid.

To switch it on there is a red button to the front to switch it to either the on or off position this will also include a red indicator light. This travel kettle is also CB, CE, EMC, GS and RoHS Certified, to give you peace of mind in your buying of the product. It has an auto shut off the ability if there is no water to heat inside. 

Its ability to collapse down really makes the difference with this kettle. It means that it gives you endless travelling options for where to store it while in your car, campervan or on holiday. 

• Made from food-grade silicone and stainless steel
• Collapsible and portable
• CB, CE, EMC, GS, RoHS Certified
• Has a large 500ml capacity
• Ideal for busy family road trips
• Lead not detachable
• May need an adapter
• Needs a little bit more care when filling. 

The Burling electric travel kettle is a brilliant stow away kettle to pack away for when you need that cup of tea or coffee on your journey. It is bright, fun and easy to use as you would a normal kettle, just take a little care in remembering it has the ability to collapse.

Types And Sizes Of Car Kettles

Travelling kettles have a tendency to weigh close to 0.55 Kg when full-sized tea-kettles can consider around 1.61 Kg. The lighter in weight, the better, however, the other side is the fact that it's prone to possess a small water total capacity.

These kettles are only able to boil as much as 1 Litre of water, and in some cases, just 50 per cent a Litre. You can find many car kettles that we have examined which are small but can extend to 1.69 Litres of water. If you believe the 500ml travel kettle is an excellent choice to suit your needs, take one on your next trip.

As a result of more significant capability, these types of kettles are a little bit bigger in dimensions compared to many travel kettles. Should you want to use your kettle overseas, it's worth verifying that the design you acquire has dual voltage - the majority of travel kettles will have this, however small or lighter types may not.

Although the primary portable kettle tests discover models that tend to be as noisy as an electrically powered power jackhammer whenever boiling, we have found that the kettles are usually less noisy. Many are a lot better than others, but it is possible to evaluate ratings on most car travel kettles.

Most 12 Volt car kettles offer dual voltage , rendering them versatile to whichever region you journey too so long as you possess the correct adapter plug; however, some likewise incorporate mugs, spoons, a tea or coffee jar, or even a holiday pouch.

Some additional specifications for this kettle are:

• Food grade silicone and stainless steel
• Digital, customizable temperature display
• 80 W with optional 120 W

Choosing the best one comes down to options based on how much liquid you want to be able to travel with, safety and functionality of design, how long it takes to heat up and whether or not it’s important that it fit in the cup holder. Because the Spardar 12V Kettle has a unique design that avoids burns and spills, fits comfortably in a cup holder while still holding a convenient amount of liquid, it’s the best choice, regardless of your exact needs.

12V Camping Kettle Buying Guide

It can be tough to know what to look for when buying a new 12V Camping Kettle. With so many options available, it can be hard to know which one is right for you. In this guide, we will discuss some of the most important things to consider when making a purchase.

What to look for when buying a 12V Camping Kettle

12V Camping Kettles are a great way to make coffee or tea while camping. When choosing a 12V Camping Kettle, there are several things to consider. First, think about what size kettle you need. If you are making coffee for one or two people, a small kettle will suffice. However, if you are making coffee for a large group, you will need a larger kettle.

Second, consider the features that are important to you. Some kettles have features such as automatic shut-off and boil-dry protection. These features can be helpful if you are forgetful or if you want to prevent accidental fires.

Finally, think about the price. 12V Camping Kettles range in price from around $20 to $100. Choose the kettle that fits your budget and your needs.

The different types of kettles available on the market

There ia a vast array of camping kettles to choose from these days. Whether you’re looking for a simple and inexpensive model or a top-of-the-line kettle with all the bells and whistles, you’re sure to find something that suits your needs. Here is a brief overview of some of the different types of 12v camping kettles that are available:

Basic 12v camping kettles are typically made from plastic and have a simple heating element. These kettles are ideal for boiling water for coffee, tea, or instant soups and noodles. Some models also come with a carrying case, which is helpful for storing the kettle when not in use.

If you want a camping kettle that can do more than just heat water, there are many models available with additional features. Some kettles have multiple temperature settings, to control the water temperature and auto shut-off. Some models also come with a built-in water filter, making it easy to get clean drinking water even when you’re in remote areas. Whatever your needs, there’s sure to be a 12v camping kettle that ‘s perfect for you.

How to choose the right kettle for your needs

While a kettle may seem like a simple household appliance, there is actually quite a lot to consider when choosing the right one for your needs. The first thing to think about is the material.

12v Kettles can be made from plastic, stainless steel, or glass, and each option has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Plastic 12v kettles are usually the cheapest option, but they can discolour over time and may leach chemicals into your water.

Stainless steel kettles are more durable and easier to clean, but they can be more expensive.

Glass kettles are the most elegant option, but they are also the most fragile.

Once you have decided on a material, you will need to choose a kettle with the right capacity. If you only need to make a small amount of tea or coffee at a time, a 1-liter kettle should suffice.

However, if you entertain guests frequently or have a large family, you may want to opt for a 2-liter kettle.

Finally, consider the design of the kettle. Some kettles have wide mouths for easy filling, while others have spouts that allow for more precise pouring. Some kettles even come with built-in filters or infusers for making tea. With so many options to choose from, it is important to select a kettle that meets all of your needs.

Factors you should consider before making a purchase

When choosing a 12v camping kettle, the three most important factors to consider are capacity, power and weight.

Capacity is important because it determines how much water the kettle can hold, and how many cups of coffee or tea you can make.

Power is important because it determines how quickly the kettle will boil water. The higher the wattage, the faster the kettle will heat up the water. However, high-powered kettles are also heavier and more expensive.

Weight is also an important consideration, as a heavy kettle can be difficult to carry when camping.

In general, the larger the capacity, the heavier the kettle will be. When choosing a 12v camping kettle, consider your needs and choose a kettle that is the right size, power and weight for your requirements.

The benefits of owning a 12V Camping Kettle

A 12V camping kettle is a great way to enjoy a hot cup of coffee or tea while on the go. They can be used anywhere there is a 12V power source, such as in a campervan or caravan .

Camping kettles are also very lightweight and portable, making them easy to take with you on hikes or other outdoor activities. In addition, most camping kettles come equipped with a thermal shut-off feature, so you never have to worry about your coffee or tea getting too hot.

Whether you’re an experienced camper or just getting started, a 12V camping kettle is a great way to enjoy a hot beverage while outdoors.

Best 12V Kettle For Car

Now let’s take a look at the best 12 volt car kettles on the market one by one.

FDIT Portable Car / Truck Kettle (Versatile)

The Fdit Car Kettle is an extremely light and portable travel water heater kettle for your car, which can heat up to 1000 ml of liquid in 25 minutes. This kettle works with both 12v and 24v, so it is a great choice if you are looking for the best trucker’s kettle.

This 12 volt hot water kettle can be used in cars, trucks, buses, RVs, and other vehicles. Make your journey more enjoyable by taking advantage of its versatile dual-voltage hot pot.

The kettle powers off automatically when the liquid inside reaches boiling temperature. The kettle’s safety protection feature switches it off and prevents it from overheating and melting if all water has evaporated and the kettle is empty.

This water heater for cars is powered by a 12-volt cigarette lighter socket, like all kettles of this type.

The Fdit kettle is made from non-toxic material food-grade plastic. These materials ensure durability and health safety.

The 12V car water boiler is convenient for those who often need to go on long journeys. This appliance can easily be used for up to 3-4 years since it has been manufactured from quality materials.

• Functions – car water heater
• Cup capacity – 1000 ml
• Maximum water temperature – 248.0℉ / 100 C
• An efficient charging base ensures the safety and sufficiency of heating
• Lightweight build
• Dual voltage 12 and 24 volt compatible
• The classic plain kettle design is unstable and dangerous to use while driving
• Not compact and space-saving
• Plastic interior might be not appealing to many users
• It takes a comparably long time to heat the water – 25 minutes

Spardar Car Kettle and Insulated Cup

The Spardar Car Cigarette Lighter DC12V Electric Kettle has a very special design. This model promotes efficiency and comfort in multiple ways. The mini electric kettle weighs a bit over 1 pound with a dimension of 10 x 3 x 3 inches.

The Spardar Car Cigarette Lighter charger kettle is available in multiple colors: ash deep gray, azure, rose red, blue, dark black,  orange, and grey. I have found the grey one to be more adaptable to the car interior.

The heating insulation cup has been built with dual-layer stainless steel. It takes less than 20 minutes to heat 320ml of water in default 120W mode.

The digital temperature display is a techy addition to the kettle if you ask me. The thick film heating technology accelerates the rate of heating. Did I mention that the heating temperature can be customized?

The water heater has a temperature maintenance mode that keeps the water temperature within 5 degrees of your target temperature.

Moreover, the double-layer vacuum body lessens the cooling rate inside. For safety purposes, this kettle comes in food-grade silicon rubber. The rubber prevents the kettle from slipping off the hand due to high friction.

The capacity of the cup is 348ml, which is great if 3-4 people are using it at a time. But, the cap of the 12-volt kettle has been found to be incapable of venting steam.

As its name says, the kettle uses 12V DC. You can choose 80W or 120W mode depending on your car wiring. The default power setting is 120W, but if you are not in a hurry, switching to 80W will let you save a bit of power.

This portable 12 volt water kettle is suitable for preparing tea or coffee, making instant noodles, and heating milk. It is a convenient gadget for school car trips and camping trips.

• Functions – portable car water heater and insulation cup
• Cup capacity – 348 ml
• Heating time to boiling – 16-20 minutes
• Works with 80W  and 120W lighter sockets
• 2-layer grade 304 stainless steel and food grade silicon rubber provides safety
• Digitally displayed and customizable temperature
• Error code display makes troubleshooting easy
• Thick film heating technology prevents cooling of heated liquid
• Portable and convenient for traveling
• Cap fails to vent steam properly, so get into the habit of opening the cap slowly
• It needs a charger adapter as large as the jar itself.

Road Pro 5027S

The Road Pro 5027S is a 12 volt kettle you can use to boil water in the car during your journey. The 12V tea kettle for car is slim and features a space-saving design.

However, the quantity of liquid the electric water pot can hold (20 ounces) might not be sufficient for multiple campers.

The 12 volt car water heater has to be plugged directly into the socket to get the power on. This is a feature found in all other travel water boilers (like FDIT portable car 12V water boiler and Uniox portable kettle).

When the water boiler reaches the desired temperature, it turns off automatically. The Road Pro travel kettle takes up to 45 minutes to boil water. Though the design is not fancy, it is useful. But, the not-so-tight lid may prove to be an annoying factor for many users.

I have been in much of a dilemma on whether to give a positive or a negative review of this model. Although it is not the best water boiler out there, it is able to serve the main purpose behind buying it for a reasonable amount of money.

To conclude, you will get what you are paying for. Do not expect this kettle to serve for years, and you will not be disappointed.

• Functions – travel water boiler
• Voltage – 12 volts
• Cup capacity – 590 ml (20 oz)
• Power – 100W
• Heating time to boil – 25-30 minutes promised by the manufacturer, 40-45 minutes in real life
• Lightweight space-saving design
• Automatic shut-off feature when the desired temperature is reached
• It is one of the most affordable 12-volt car hot water makers
• The lid is not air-tight, so the liquid inside does not remain hot for a long time
• It takes a long time to boil the water
• Bad design of the spout

EAST MOUNT Electric Water Heater Travel Mug

The EAST MOUNT Electric Water Heater Travel Mug is a smart temperature control travel mug.

How does the smart thing work? The smart thermos in the mug can be set from 86°F to 194°F. The liquid in the mug will remain at the same temperature that you set.

The water heater is extremely easy to use and can be used to boil water to prepare coffee, tea, or any other hot beverage.

This heating mug takes about 30 minutes to heat the 750 mililiters of water to boiling temperature. When the water is boiling, the indicator turns green from red.

The cup doesn’t need resetting, it automatically starts working when the temperature hits less than 90 degrees. It’s designed ergonomically to fit the cup holders in most cars.

It is important to consider that the cup only works with 12V 120W cigarette lighter. It won’t work with the 75W. Make sure your car has the 120 Watt system and put in the plug completely to avoid blowing a fuse or damaging the water heater or your car.

12V Car Kettle Buying Guide

The features people expect from a portable traveling 12V camping kettle are flexibility, light-weight, lower power consumption, tight lid, quantity, safety, durability, and wide using capability.

From my research on these appliances, I can tell you what to expect and what not to from these products.

The Uniox kettle is made from stainless steel and food-grade plastic. The insulation formulated cup prevents the water from getting cold easily. It keeps water hot. The kettle can be used to enjoy the prepared food without having to serve it on any other plate. It is small in size and very convenient to use for any kind of trips and journeys.

The FDIT portable 12V kettle and the Roadpro 5072S come in kettle style. The kettles are convenient to use, though they are more space-consuming and heavy in weight. However, the kettles are cheaper than the cup style car water boilers. The food-grade elements used in these kettles are also of high pedigree.

Some travel water boilers perform on dual voltages. In many cases, it is seen that car water heaters need a variable of voltages to work on. The power supply of vehicles varies from one vehicle type to another. The FDIX car travel kettle works with both 12-volt passenger car and 24-volt truck electrical systems. This kettle can be used in both cars and trucks.

If one is looking to buy a portable small electric kettle you can use in a car and truck, only then, the dual voltage device is feasible. It is to be noted that the option of 12 volt car tea kettle is much more applicable for car users.

The capacity of the 12V water kettle depends on the use of the customers. Generally, the demand is for medium capacity kettles of 300-500 ml. The kettle with more capacity consumes more space and is also of more weight. Customers usually prefer light-weight and portable appliances.

The Uniox car hot pot is light in weight and consumes less space. If the customer size is of 5 or 6 members then they do need a high capacity kettle to prepare more food at the same time. On the other hand, if the customer size is of 2 or 3 members then a medium or small capacity kettle is enough and convenient for them. The low capacity kettle needs less time to boil the liquid inside.

The best 12v car water boiler models mentioned in this review come from Uniox, FDIT, and Road Pro. What to do to maintain the unit properly and what not to do to prevent destruction are discussed below.

• Always unplug the base first, then let the kettle cool down and remove the remaining liquid from the kettle; then, get it clean to avoid any kind of electric shocks.
• Soap water should be used to clean the inner part of the travel kettle
• The electric 12 volt kettle for car should not be immersed in water completely
• A sponge or damp cloth should be used to clean the outer area of the kettle
• To avoid accidents, the kettle should be operated on a flat surface
• Keep leather items away to avoid steam damage
• Children should be kept away from the kettle
• When the kettle is heating up but not boiling, you should use lime to descale mineral deposits.
• If you have a propane stove in your RV, consider making a stop and using the stove to boil the water. Get a thinner aluminum pot with tight-fitting lid, and have boiling water within 2 minutes.
• If you plan to use your kettle regularly, you should upgrade the standard cigarette lighter receptacle to a quality marine one, like Blue Seas, and upgrade the wiring to it from the battery with at least 12awg, preferable 10awg.
• We should not use abrasive soaps or cleansers
• Don’t open the lid of the kettle without powering off the kettle
• Don’t keep the mouth of the kettle open for a long time
• Don’t let any liquid stay inside the kettle for a long time
• Do not use battery power to heat water. Keep the engine or generator running.

Travel Kettle: 7 Best Electric Kettles for Travel

A travel electric kettle is a really useful travel item if you can’t be without your favorite hot drinks while on vacation, camping and traveling. But also baby food, mild and instant meals can be warmed up in a convenient way. These mini travel kettles are extra small and light , some are even foldable so that they fit in any luggage and suitcase. Basically, these portable kettles work in the same way as normal kettles, but with around 0.5 – 0.8 liters, they have much less capacity.

In this blog article, we summarized the top recommendations for the best travel kettles in 2022. Also, we will share useful tips and information why a portable kettle can be helpful, which help you find your perfect mini kettle.

Which Travel Kettle is the best?

You want to buy a travel kettle, but you don’t exactly know which qualities a perfect mini kettle should have? Here are the most important things to consider before buying :

• Capacity & Size: A typical travel kettle has a volume of around 0.5 liters . That’s enough to make 2–3 cups of hot tea or coffee. Larger kettles would need a lot more space in the case.
• Power: A travel electric kettle usually has less power than a conventional kettle. It often takes a few minutes to boil up. If you don’t want to wait that long, you should compare the power (watts) of the products beforehand.
• Shape and material: In general, good mini kettles are either made of plastic, silicone or stainless steel . Glass kettles are easier to damage, so they are not the best choice for traveling. Foldable kettles are always made of silicone so that they can be folded up to a mini pack size.
• Travel kettle for the car: If you travel a lot by car, you can also look for a travel kettle for the cigarette lighter. These kettles take longer (typically around 15 minutes) but are handy if you don’t want to miss out on your coffee on the road.

Halfords Go Car kettle 2014

Published: July 1, 2014

Read the Halfords Go Car kettle review from the expert travel team at Practical Caravan, to find out how this affordable kettle performs

If you want a travel kettle then the Halfords Go Car kettle is a good option. It costs just £20, is neat and tidy in transit and includes two cups.

Buy the Go Car kettle here from Halfords

The lead has a neat place to sit when the kettle isn’t in use Two cups are included It is compatible with 12V and 24V supplies

The kettle’s power lead is quite short It doesn’t have a very big capacity

A travel kettle is an essential when on tour – we all need cups of tea and coffee, or maybe hot chocolate, on our caravan holidays!

But while many of us will pack a traditional whistling kettle or perhaps a mains kettle, a 12V kettle might be handy, too. Why? Well, what if the campsite you are staying at does not have electric hook-up points? Or maybe you’re on the road, towing your caravan to the campsite and you can’t get to the kettle that you have so neatly packed away, due to bedding, clothes or other holiday essentials being in the way? Plus having a kettle stowed in the car is rather convenient for quick stops en route to your destination. If it is a warm day, it also saves labouring to lower the caravan’s steadies and then standing over a hot, gas-powered stove, heating both you and your caravan’s interior.

There are some drawbacks to using such travel kettles, though, a major one being that they can sometimes take a lot longer to boil than mains powered alternatives. Practical Caravan’s 12V kettle group test therefore looked at the speed at which the kettles boiled a large mug of water (300ml), as well as measuring the battery capacity used to boil the water. Among the other travel kettles tested were the  Waeco Perfect Kitchen MCK750 , the  Waeco Perfect Coffee MC01  and the  Summit Car/Truck Jug kettle GY-342 .

In our test, this emerged as a very strong all-rounder. Our typical, 300ml mug full of water took 20 minutes to boil, but the reduced average current draw of just under 10A meant a reasonable battery consumption of 3.33Ah. We were pleased to note that this kettle has an auto switch-off function, plus the fill level window can be clearly read.

It is a bit of a plain looking, white kettle, but Halfords has included two small cups that stack neatly inside it when empty, which is handy when you’re travelling on your caravan holidays and you’re stopping for a quick cuppa – it saves you rummaging about for mugs and, being self-contained, you won’t have lots of bits of plastic rolling about the car. The Practical Caravan review team also liked this kettle’s neat, lead-tidy arrangement and that it costs just £20, so it isn’t the cheapest on test, but it is hardly expensive.

A further surprise, at this price level, is the kettle’s compatibility with both 12V and 24V supplies. However, the Halfords Go Car kettle lost points for its short power lead, and also for its maximum capacity – 400ml according to the packaging, and 500ml if you fill up to the maximum level line, which is less than most rivals.

Still, despite this, this product achieved a score of four out of five, so it is worth a look if you’re shopping for a travel kettle.
