Billy 240V Kettle

G'day Sue,

Great question, but the straight answer is no. The 900 - 1100w the kettle draws will most likely keep tripping or cutting out the 1000w inverter.

G'day Freya,

The Popup Billy 240V Kettle will automatically turn off once it boils.

G'day Michael,

We've got a few of the Snowys Team with this kettle and no reports of it dripping so far!  Hope that helps.

G'day Kathy,

I've just measured this for you and the cord for the Billy 240V Kettle is 78cm long including the plug.

G'day Tim,

Theoretically, you can run the Billy 240V through a 12V inverter, however, the inverter will need to be able to handle 1100 watts. Generally, an inverter that can handle this would be approximately $400-$500.  If you're after a 12V kettle we do sell the Dometic Perfect Kitchen 12V kettle.

G'day Hannah,

The food grade silicon in the pop-up kettles is a totally non-toxic material that won't leach into the water in the kettle at all. It'll handle the temperatures just fine. I have silicon baking trays at home that we use in our oven at well over 200 degrees with no problems at all. 

G'day Larry,

I've just double checked this for you and can confirm that the Popup Billy 240V Kettle does have a stainless steel base inside, hiding the element beneath it. 

G'day Alyssa,

I've just grabbed our display model. filled it with water and plugged it into the plug in our staff kitchen. It took 4:44 to boil from tap water temperature. It's a pretty warm day in Adelaide today, so in colder temperatures, it might take a little longer, conversely, in warmer weather it might boil a little quicker. 

G'day Lorraine, 

You may need to check the voltage of the country/countries that you are planning on visiting, and that you've got the appropriate adaptor - but aside from that you should be good to go!
