After a long search I bought this cordless electric mini kettle for my 83 yr old Mum who has limited use of her right arm so found a conventional kettle difficult to lift - and was using her left hand (not safe!). She absolutely loves this kettle - can easily use it with her right hand. The mini kettle swivels to use with either hand, has a water gauge on both sides, is easy to fill without opening the lid and is of excellent quality.A bit expensive compared to a standard kettle but worth every penny to reduce the risk of an accident. Fantastic service - the first order via Royal Mail never arrived but when I contacted customer service they immediately sent out another one by courier which arrived the next day. Would highly recommend using Essential Aids.
