Does anyone know the Amps the kettle draws? I have limited power .

A rating plate on the bottom of the appliance states "120V 60Hz 700 W" -- hope that helps.

definitely not. actually, you shouldn't buy this thing at all. I bought two recently, and one never worked; the other failed after a few days.What you need to get is a power transformer, and a very high-wattage one if you're using a kettle / hair dryer / flat iron; if you don't use a transformer, you will blow a fuse. The Seven Star models work well; they may seem expensive, but $80 is a small price to pay to continue using your electricals. Make sure you look up the specs on your devices to see how many watts they use. Kettles typically use 1200 watts.

950w / 120v = 7.91 Amps approx. Most residential circuit breakers are 15 Amps (15A x 120V = 1800W) although I have seen 10 Amps (10A x 120V = 1200W), if it is tripping all the time then add up all the items that you have on at the same time, the use of a couple of lights and a fridge (or even a TV or computer) could be enough to trip the breaker when you have the kettle on. Also check to see if the Circuit breaker is made by a UL certified company as I've seen cheap chinese breakers trip at loads much lower then 15A.

The water heater element is rated at 1650 watts and at 120 volts it will draw 13.75 amps. At alower voltage it will draw less because the resistance of the heating element is calabrated at 120 volts which is the standard for all power companies. A 20 amp circuit with 12 (awg) american wire-gauge wire is required. If you plan to connect it to an existing kitchen circuit please turn off all other appliances on that circuit. I recommend a dedicated circuit for this heater. After all this is done it works well for the kitchen sink and dishwasher. Enjoy. Al S. EE

My kettle is only 120 but they have the units that you are asking for, check out eBay or send Breville an email.

The data plate says 1500 watts. It will operate on a normal 15 amp ckt. Therefore the continuous wattage is something less than 1440 watts. The average wattage is something in the range of 1200 watts but may actually approach 1500 watts when heating the water from room temperature to boiling to develop the first pressure pass.

tay away from the 6amp converter if using the road pro stove. Get the Burton 200watt converter. I have trie the 6amp and others. It has 15 amps. use it for the same reason and also on a 75 watt fridge. A little more expensive but you will be happy with it. It has a build in fan that is a little loud but keeps the unit very cool. Hope this helps.

Since I have had the entire kettle replaced THREE times over the past ONE year because it just FAILED TO FUNCTION so I look at your problem with a degree of "amusement." Suggest you contact the manufacturer its an 800 number Google it if you have to, but quite honestly, l'd leave well-enough alone. Good luck!

200 amp is the minimum. It does draw a lot of current - the lights on our christmas tree dim when the hot water is used.

Sorry, I have no idea...am just enjoying using this wonderful kettle - so much better than all those used by my family before ;)

In the video, the kettle is stated to have a "1.7-quart capacity". Hope this helps!

Don't do it! It will either wreck the heating element or wreck the mechanism that allows it to auto switch off once it's boiled and it will kill the kettle. The minimum fill is 0.75l , which is about 2 mugs worth. Although I complained it's higher than my old kettle it's not all that bad.

Stand says it is 1500 W. I've had other, more expensive kettles and they were no faster at heating the water. It is very fast.

It works on all my equipment that is rated at 220/240v. That includes a kettle rated at 2000 watts.

You would need a step down transformer that can handle at least 1KW (1000W), although to be on the safe side 1500W, as the kettle is rated at 950W. One of these would cost about $60 (http://www.amazon.com/ELC-T-1500-1500-Watt-Converter-Transformer/dp/B00EPWZVEE/) price would vary in other countries but as you can see it takes up a lot of space, is heavy and it won't be splash or waterproof so you run the risk of damaging it or electricution, if you really want to use it (as it is a nice kettle) put the transformer somewhere safe (above and out of the way of the kettle) and use a long extention cable (http://www.amazon.com/Fellowes-9-Foot-Heavy-Indoor-Extension/dp/B00066GNWW/).

No you cannot use this inverter. This inverter is not to be used for anything intended to produce heat ie kettle. Do not use for anything above 200 watts

I didn't measure it after I saw the other response. I would describe it as short. Another thing that I found surprising, is it brings the water to a boil, and then turns off. Maybe this is common in electric kettles; I haven't had one before now.
