Many people think a kettle is more energy-efficient. But is that true? We compare the energy consumption of a Quooker with a regular kettle.
Quooker vs kettle – the energy comparison
"Isn't a Quooker much more expensive to use than a regular kettle?" This is a frequently asked question at Crowntap. Let's look at the facts.
The energy consumption of a kettle
An average kettle has a power output of 2,000 to 3,000 watts. Boiling 1 litre of water costs approximately 0.1 kWh. If you boil water 5 times a day, you consume approximately 0.5 kWh per day.
But here's the problem: most people boil more water than needed. On average, 30% of the boiled water is not used. That's pure energy waste.
The energy consumption of a Quooker
The Quooker PRO3 keeps 3 litres of water at 100°C with a standby consumption of only 10 watts – that's around 3 pence per day.
When you top up water, the system consumes extra energy, but because you always use exactly the right amount, there is no wastage.
The comparison
| Aspect | Kettle | Quooker PRO3 |
|---|---|---|
| Standby consumption | 0 kWh | 0.24 kWh/day |
| Consumption per use | 0.1 kWh | ~0.01 kWh |
| Waste | ~30% | 0% |
| Daily costs | ~€0.15 | ~€0.08 |
The verdict
In practice, the Quooker is more energy-efficient than a kettle, especially if you:
- Need boiling water multiple times a day
- Often boil too much water
- Use the COMBI or COMBI+ (also replaces your boiler)
The COMBI bonus
With a Quooker COMBI, you completely replace your kitchen boiler. The energy savings from this can amount to £100 per year, allowing the Quooker to pay for itself. Also read our article on sustainability.
