Thermostatic Portable Electric Kettle - Travel Size

Yes. We deliver across Dar es Salaam and ship countrywide to Arusha, Mwanza, Dodoma, Mbeya, Zanzibar and the rest of Tanzania.

Tanzania is nominally 230 V, 50 Hz, and the standard tolerance runs from about 207 V up to 253 V. Before we publish a voltage figure for this unit we want the rating plate confirmed in writing by the supplier - we are not going to guess it on a mains heating appliance. Ask us before you order and we will read the plate on the stock and tell you exactly what it says.

Steam and hot water escaping when the lid is opened. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission issued warnings in November 2025 and June 2026 about portable travel kettles that pressurised and released hot water or steam unexpectedly - one of those covered 116 reports and 89 injuries including second and third degree burns. Both were unbranded products whose sellers ignored recall requests. Keep the lid closed while boiling, let it stand for a moment before opening, and open it away from your face and hands.

Ask us to confirm before ordering. Two protections matter on any kettle: an automatic cut-out at boiling, and a boil-dry cut-out that stops the element if it is switched on empty. Boil-dry protection is the one that prevents a fire, and it is the one cheap kettles most often omit. We are asking the supplier for written confirmation of both.

Three markings. 100-240V or 220-240V means it works here on a plug adapter alone. 120V or 110-127V means it will NOT work here and needs a proper step-down transformer - a plug adapter will not save it. And a unit with a manual 110/220 slide switch works only if the switch is set correctly, so check it before every use.

Scale builds up on the element from the mineral content in the water, and a scaled element runs hotter and fails sooner. Use filtered water where you can, empty it after use rather than leaving water standing, and descale periodically with a weak vinegar or citric acid solution if the manufacturer has no procedure of its own.

That is what it is for, but check first - some hotels prohibit guest kettles, and a 1000 W-plus appliance can trip an older circuit if it is sharing with an air conditioner. Put it on a hard flat surface away from the edge, never on carpet or on bedding, and never leave it boiling unattended.

Not from a normal 12 V socket. A car accessory socket supplies a few hundred watts at most, and a mains kettle needs several times that. Anything sold as a car kettle is a different product built for 12 V, and it boils far more slowly. Do not attempt to run a mains kettle from an inverter unless the inverter is rated well above the kettle wattage.
