Can you plug this kettle in? I keep reading about a coil, is that the plug? A battery would come in handy but mostly I want to use it plugged in.

The unit comes in two parts...a thin base and the kettle. The base has a cord that plugs in; the kettle lifts off the base and thus is cordless. I plug the unit in in one room and carry the kettle only to my desk in another room. This I find most convienient. This item does not work on battery.

You can plug in the base. The kettle sits on top and detaches from the base.

There is a base that kettle actually sits on and the base has the electrical cord. I love it.

It's not actually cordless. The kettle sits on a base that plugs in. But you lift it up and take of off the corded base to pour or carry it around.

Yes it needs to be plugged in to boil water. I wouldn't consider it portable.

Not an issue with me as I don't use the thing. My new one has such a short cord I found it worthless in my kitchen. Sorry I purchased it. I didn't want the mug so got the unit without a mug. Would rather have 6 more inches of cord.

Nope! Just plug, fill with water, and use! I absolutely love it for tea, Cup-A-Soup, and hot chocolate!! Enjoy!

It is corded, the cord is concealed, it has a spool underneath the bottom where the cord is wrapped around, unwind the cord, then plug it in. There are no batteries needed. There is an auto shut off that turns the kettle off.

Hi, I am not sure what the waltage is, but the kettle has issues with turning off by itself. So I would suggest looking at some other items.

It does not have a battery it has a base and that's is where it gets the power to boil the water, I love mine I have never owned an electric kettle but I will not go back to heating my water on the stove

Yes, no problem at all. The kettle is just excellent in general. I highly recommend it!

no. you plug in a cord to the base. the kettle sits on top of the base while heating.

Good question...the base plugs into socket and the kettle sits in the poor base. Turn on kettle it boils. The kettle when ready can carry water to table or desk. It can be moved free of power base.

You *can* keep it plugged in, but it's not good for the battery. It's better to charge it, then let it run on battery. It warns you about 9 days before the battery goes (when you go to take your temp in the morning, you get a "BA09"... the next day "BA08" etc. But it still functions on those days. I think I charge mine overnight about once a month? So, you COULD leave it plugged in, and it would still function, but my understanding is that you'll reduce the longevity of the machine. (When you need to rely on the battery, the battery life might be compromised.)

Make sure the kettle is snapped in correctly...or Perhaps it's faulty...mine turns fine.

Yes, you unplug to turn it off. But be sure to unplug first, then remove from the water or it will stop working. To boil, put in water first, then plug in.

I once nuked it for a minute and it was fine, but I wouldn't recommend it... The instructions on the box say something along the lines of "let the boiling water sit for a bit before pouring it into the mug." I recommend boiling your water in a kettle, they come as cheap as $10 for an electric one.

No plug. It's a thermos insulated inside and will keep water, coffee, etc., hot! Always fill with hot tap water first then empty. This will "pre-heat" the unit and keep your beverage hot!

You can leave it plugged in using a usb cable with a plug in adapter at the wall, similar to a lot of devices now that charge via usb cable. Just leave it plugged in and it will operate off electricity and keep the battery charged. Be aware that on mine the water in one speaker quit "dancing". Not sure what this was related to but probably not a power issue but defective.
