Since the kettle is described as "Cordless" How does the 120v get to the heating element?

Through the base that has a wire... The kettle sits on the base and and gets power through the contacts.

I would imagine b/c The pot is cordless, however there is a corded base that the pot fits into but heats in under a minute...

The kettle has a center coil that fits over an electronic element which is on a separate plate that plugs into the outlet. When the kettle is on the plate it has to be over the electronic element that is in the middle of the plate. The kettle heats from this process, be sure never to immerse the kettle in water, be sure to keep the center coil dry and the electronic element on the plate. The kettle automatically shuts off when the water in the kettle boils.

No, I do not think so because the warranty states that the warranty if void if the kettle is used in any other voltage than 120V.

I believe it does absolutely require the 120Vac be supplied. The venting is by a fan, no fan no operation. In the manual in the troubleshooting section it says for no hot water check that gas and power are on. I would assume if you open a hot tap, the water will flow through the device, there just won't be a flame to heat it.

The heating element is in the bottom of the kettle, not in the plug in base. If you look carefully at the photo of the base, the part with the plug on it, you'll see the electrical connections. The bottom of the kettle has corresponding electrical connections. The plug in base gets a little warm from the radiant heat from the kettle, but does not get hot.

Mine has USA plug, 110V. Probably they produce this kettle for different countries

Sorry, Jeffrey, I never thought about it. I live in the States and it plugged into a regular socket fixture where it has worked fine ever since. Cord is not overly long btw. It does give off a lot of hot steam towards the end of its' cycle, so you don't want to position it under a cupboard. I have the pourer facing away from my 'above' cabinets. I like it well enough, but it's really not that much quicker than a regular stove top kettle. It pours cleanly and is helpful for filling hot water bottles and the like. I moved so not sure where my instruction booklet is - apologies for not answering this query properly.

the unit runs on 120 volts. It has small output nozzle so you direct the heat more precisely! Excellent tool for the DIY and for cell phone LCD repairs!

It is cordless. Uses a 40 volt battery that is charged with a 120v charger. Sorry, Not 220 or 240 volt

I believe that gets heated by the base unit and is what heats the water in the kettle. But I am not 100% sure.

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.

It is 120v and does require both a hot and cold hookup - love it! Works great!

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.

It is cordless, the base of the kettle stand is wired, the actual kettle itself just sits on top, and is easily removable.

The heating element doesn't appear to be exposed at all on the bottom. All that I can see is a metal tube running up the inside of the kettle along the handle. I'm not sure if that's the heating element or something else.

The heating element looks like a stainless steel plate, but not water tight. There should be no rusting if you don't dump water onto the plate. It is very easy to keep the plate clean actually, since the kettle is cordless.
