Pros:
1. Practically instant
2. Generally more efficient for a single cup of water
3. Water is off the boil when it comes out, so great for coffee
Cons
1. Not good for making a round of coffees when the family's over.
2. Not boiling on exit of the device, so serious tea drinkers may have issues
3. Potential for bacteria in the reservoir, if you don't clean the reservoir reasonably regularly
4. They usually consume electricity all the time, even if it's only 1W it adds up over time. Unless you turn it off at the socket.
I stopped using mine because for me the cons outweighed the pros.

It is a good price but I would recommend getting the variable model, having a fixed amount pumped out is often not what you want.

Very true I would definitely agree Ive had one of these and it really does pay to get the variable one

Could someone explain what makes this better than just putting the right amount of water in the kettle? I could understand if you could control the temperature of the water for coffee etc. But it just seems to me that it's something else to take up space in the kitchen with out adding a great deal of functionality.

Because these boil a single cup of water in 30 seconds saving time and money a kettle often needs more water than that and can take up to 3 mins to boil these are great for small households or if people get up at different times.
a great product worth having

These are brilliant kettles. My gran and dad are both disabled and it is
much safer for them to use, as there's no need to tip the kettle up to pour it.

^^ This
My 93 year old grandmother was not allowed a standard kettle in her room at the residential home and she would now not be able to lift one anyway, but this gives her that little bit of independence. Suits her perfectly, particularly as the home's either too strong (she uses tea granules and takes it black anyway) or just served it at mealtimes when she didn't want it.

I thought about the same , that is the reason why I do not need a Lambo even if it was 1/10 of the price

Well I appreciate obviously some people like them and find them more convenient. I think people saying they are faster and are going to save money are somewhat stretching the truth.
I just boiled a mugs worth of water in my kettle (which is also rated 3kW), and out of interest I timed it. I got it slightly wrong and there was a little water left in the kettle after I'd made my cup of tea. But in any case it took 40 seconds (not 3+ minutes). Back of the envelope calculations suggest that even if this is double the time the machine takes you are still looking at 10000 cups of tea before the electricity saved covers the cost of buying the machine.
