Haha c4p - the one I ordered wasn't especially posh - less than the cost of two moderately priced kettles. They do, however, heat the whole lot then keep it warm rather than just on demand.
Anyway it turned up and is going back, without even being fully unwrapped. It's too big for the space we had in mind (in fact it does look huge, but I suppose it has to be for 5 litres) , which has highlighted potential awkwardness filling it and accessing the controls. I think I mis-measured.
Even it's smaller (and cheaper) brother is quite tall and while it would slide under the wall cabinet you wouldn't have much access to the top (for filling). Maybe that's not so important.
We'd worked out that 5l was probably a bit over the top for our daily hot drinks but 2.5l was probably not enough, Then there is cooking and other uses. There is an Addis one which is 3.5l which we are going to think about.
btw SWMBO asked on a chat room she is involved with whether anyone had experience, and mostly those who actually had one (which was quite a few) said they were great but those who didn't weren't so sure.
Thanks all for your input. I'll update if we decide to get another.
