Firebox.com in the UK will release the iKettle kettle, which can be controlled from the iPhone, in November. Currently accepting reservations on the company's website. The price is £ 99.99. A separate shipping fee of £ 11.21 to Japan will be charged.


The "iKettle" is an electric kettle that claims to be the "world's first Wi-Fi kettle." The note says that iKettle is so useful that it "may end up sacking butlers and maids or throwing away alarm clocks."

The "dismissal of butlers and maids" function allows you to remotely turn on the power and adjust the temperature of hot water using the app. With "iKettle", you can remotely boil water from anywhere in the house such as the bedroom, toilet, living room, and the app will notify you that the water has boiled, so you don't need a butler or a maid. That's right. The "iKettle" also has a function to prevent empty cooking and a heat retention function.


The "alarm" feature asks if the app will boil water at a fixed time each morning. If you select "OK", the water will boil automatically after a few minutes. With this feature, alarm clocks may become unnecessary.


The size of "iKettle" is width 21 x height 24 x depth 20.5 cm. You can boil up to 1.8 liters of hot water. It weighs 1.6 kg.
