Is this kettle smaller or larger than vkb-120hsv? Capacity. Websites have conflicting mi/oz and I can't find what is right. Thanks.

Smaller. The 100 is a 1.0 litre (600ml effective), meaning you can really only boil 0.6L. The 120 is 1.2 litre (800ml effective). So basically, the 100 is a 0.6L, and the 120 is a 0.8L. Totally straight-forward, right? ;) Anyhow, hope this helps!

It depends on what you are trying to do in that pot. I don't know the exact diameter of the kettle I typically use, but it is an 8.5 gallon SS kettle, and I can tell you that it it is bigger than the surface area of the top of the burner. Obviously, you loose some efficiency with this, but it still works well for my purposes.

Not sure-I don't have the box anymore-maybe in product description on amazon. But, wherever it's made it's an outstanding kettle. I use it 3-5 times a day. Have had over a year. Great appliance!

There is a gradation indicator on the outside to the left of the plastic black handle. It starts at 0 Liters and goes to 1.5 Liters in increments of 4 bars. I can tell you that I fill the pot about 1/4 of the way and am able to fill my 16oz stainless travel mug. Often times the measurement indicators on the inside of a kettle are made of plastic and allow for chemicals from melted plastic to get into your liquids when heating. This is not the case with this pot. I still love the pot and it looks and performs as good as the day I received it.

It is 4 1/4 quart and they also make larger models. I use mine for canning. There are lots of 1 qt. tea kettles if you just want a few cups.

The cord is 30 inches long - fairly short. We love our kettle, but mostly for its 120/240 volt option and light weight. We discovered the plastic body is not bomb proof when my wife took it to France and had it crack in her luggage. I think I can repair it though. She says she could have packed it better.

Sorry I can't be of more help to you. I never had a chance to use mine. It came with chipped enamel inside so I sent it back for a refund. Personally I doubt the quality of GSI products and the fact that they are not made in the US but China. It can be used both indoors and outdoors. I would probably find another kettle and spend a bit more.

I was hesitant to purchase due to MiC. Not just for patriotic ' Buy American ' reasons, but because China is well known for ' junk stainless '. This kettle is ' good stainless ' and my kettle is still in great condition, no rust, gets well used and I'd buy it again. My only complaint ... the handle gets hot and you need hot-pad to hold it.Hope I've helped in your decision.

I wish an adaptor was available. I returned my kettle. I do own an older model that was made for use in the USA. I was able to get it repaired. It is the best!

This is the first Simplex Heritage Gas Tea Kettle that I have ever owned; so I cannot compare it with what you term "the old ones". I bought mine eight months ago, and I think that it is great. Water heats up very fast, and it seems to be well-constructed. If it helps, the company is based in Norfolk, England, UK.

I ordered the 6 cup by mistake and found it is too small for the amount of water I like to heat at one time. We use instant hot cereals and coffee bags so the larger size works much better for us. I also don't like to fill it too full as it sputters out when it whistles. Personal preference if you don't use much hot water, but for the price I would go with the larger one. There newer revere kettles also heat slowly. I eventually purchased an old used 3 1/2 quart one on ebay and is actually what I needed to replace the one I had. Better copper bottom. Heats faster and whistles better. Much better made in my book.

It appears that the answers by ejp and Greg B provided information you requested. The kettle I purchased is stamped as ejp's kettle...

The Kettle I have is 120VAC 60 Hertz. Made for U.S. and Japan. For 250VAC 50 Hertz you may want to try amazon.UK My daughter lived there and she had a great electric kettle.

I checked the bottom of my kettle and found "K18". Not sure if this means it is 18/10 Stainless. It is made in China. My friend in Seattle ordered the same kettle in the same week and has had no signs of rust. Overall, I am still pleased with my purchase.
