Welcome To Top House

My electric kettle is my microwave.

I've actually been pleasantly surprised at how well TopHouse products work for the price.

Maybe it's because you bought a kettle and they know only an English person would boil water in Argentina and it's a little revenge over the Falkland/Malvina situation

Well, since most Argentines drink mate, they also need boiling water to go with it.
Falklands? ...................yawn.

I guess I'm the only one that see's Argentines yell and flip out when the water boils for mate...therefore my joke isn't making sense to some.

I have seen good Top House appliances, but I bought one of their juicers and it was falling apart almost immediately. I finally gave it away when I was lucky enough to come across a Champion juicer here on the board.

I had a similar experience with the Bulldog brand of tools. They are about as low end as you can buy here, but I bought a circular saw which I have had around for several years, still working. Their drill on the other hand was a disaster - it turned off center, had a weak motor and I was actually happy to drill a little harder and put it out of its misery when the motor started to smoke.

It's a pain in the ass, but it's really best to try out *anything* you buy here before walking out of the store. I don't know how many times I've opened a package at home only to find something broken or missing or completely dead.

does top house not come with a 1 year warrantee?????

Actually a lot of the electric kettles here come with a "Mate" setting, it turns off the kettle before it boils so that you don't scald your yerba.

I come wirth a falklands/malvinas setting, whenever I see reference to it I switch off.

The kettle does have a 1 year warranty indeed, which we are looking into.
We've replaced it with an Electrolux.
The point here is the design and quality of build.
It has the 3 prongs male and female which are supposed to mate up when the kettle is placed in the holder. In theory.
In this case the bendy copper contacts in the holder weren't up to the job and so the kettle had to be at an angle to connect properly, hence the spoon
It was fun while it lasted.

Maybe Apple should launch the iKettle?
That would be a winner
