Summary
A large chromium-plated electric kettle with a black plastic handle. The element is not in the water, but under the bottom of the kettle itself, with a lower bottom plate beneath the element. The spout is very long, with a flat triangular nozzle for the steam to emerge, and it forms part of the lid, not of the kettle body. There are two clamps at the sides of the lid opening to hold the lid on in use. There is a separate black plastic flex with a black moulded rubber 3-pin plug, and a black 2-hole kettle connector at the other end. The spout and the rim of the lid have been wrapped in masking tape. The kettle stands on three black plastic spherical feet. Total number of items is 3.
