I bought the universal kettle tipper for my 90 year old Mother, who finds it difficult to lift a full kettle, especially when the water is very hot. The stand has proved invaluable, and she loves it. She can fill the kettle using small jugs of water, then just tip the boiling water into the teapot or other container, with no risk of spillage, or worse. I do not worry about her making cups of tea now. A fantastic design and very practical.
