The two mug race

The Eco-kettle
designed to allow you to boil only as much water as you need.

Cleverly done through the system of filling the kettle but then - pressing the button to indicate how many cups (at 200ml) you want to heat. 

A great idea - but - we use the AGA to heat our water. 
So, I decided to time how long each would take for the water to boil.

Switch on and time.

For 2 mugs.  1.3 minutes for 400ml of water to boil in the eco-kettle and 1.8 minutes for the same amount of water in the AGA kettle.

So, the Eco-kettle will save power.  However, I have no plans to change our system of boiling water but I will measure more accurately the amount of water to put in the kettle.
