Adaptive kettle
What is an adaptive kettle?
These types of kettles come with handy features that make boiling and pouring hot water easier for you.
Features include lightweight construction for ease of lifting, ergonomic handles, swivel bases, level indicators, auto-stop functions when the water is hot enough, cordless options, and non-slip coatings.
Which features your kettle has depends on the brand. Generally, small or plastic kettles will be lightweight and easier to lift, swivel functions help you fill and pour water, and a cordless option might help avoid spills and clutter on your work surfaces.
These kettles are useful if you have arm weakness, pain, fatigue, a hand tremor, limited dexterity, or a weak grip.
