I've remembered now!

[Debsdelight72]

2 am I'm soooo awake right now,

I wanted to share: I had problems with the kettle, Lifting in to pour,It would tug on my wrist and hurt, I actually dropped it once,

Thankfully I'd just been filling it from the tap and not boiling 😫

So I thought If anyone else has the same problems and you are worried, We brought this,

It's a Laptronic instant hot water dispenser from Amazon not too expensive and you just place your cup under the spout and press the button, You'll have to be close though because It only stops when you press the button again,

Yep It's what it says on the box, It takes up just as much space as your kettle and gives you peace of mind you won't have to worry about having any accidents

I promise I'm not advertising a product nor am I getting any money for it, I just wanted you to know I'm thinking of others who like me may not be able to afford the 1 on the television that's connected to your tap,

just being kind 😊

I use the one cup kettle, no worries about having to be near it, it literally just does one cup, been using it for years, my husband fills it for me, not expensive either.

[Debsdelight72 in reply to Blue-52]

Sounds good, Blue-52 Maybe I should have thought more about the product I was so happy I didn't have to pick the big old kettle,

DOHHHH Iv'e just totally forgot about them 1's like in a canteens, You know tall white and get 30 and the rest cups, If fits in with my kitchen anyway 😄

Never mind, (hahaha brain fog? that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it)

[Blue-52 in reply to Debsdelight72]

lol 😂, it still works, so hey 😉

Thankyou for sharing always good too read helpful information xx

[Debsdelight72 in reply to Yassytina]

your welcome x

[Gigiruth]

My wrists thanks you xxI like it better than the tilt kettle I was thinking about because it is more discreet about me having an issue and stylish.

[Debsdelight72 in reply to Gigiruth]

Glad I could help

[LittleDaisy67]

Yes I got one for the same reason. Much better for less accidents! X

[Debsdelight72 in reply to LittleDaisy67]

I don't think I'll ever go back now🙂

[Debsdelight72 in reply to LittleDaisy67]

Now I can make Hubby a brew 😀

[Greyt]

Thanks for the tip. My wrists are bad too and I have dropped the kettle when it’s boiled !

[Debsdelight72 in reply to Greyt]

Blimey Greyt, A scary experience, Hope you didn't burn yourself,

[Greyt in reply to Debsdelight72]

Thankfully , managed to jump out of the way !! Wrist gives way at times 🙈

[Debsdelight72 in reply to Greyt]

I can't jump anymore and can't remember when I last did haha,

It's the simple things that seem to give so much relief, I for 1 seem to be searching for anything to get that🙂

[Cotswolds25121]

kindness doesn’t cost anything so thank you Debsdelight 😁for sharing as I’m sure it will help lots of us, myself included 🤗x

[Debsdelight72 in reply to Cotswolds25121]

No problem, Glad to be of assistance

I had the same problem and was worried about burning myself. I did still want a kettle as I constantly use hot water bottles, so I bought a small (1.25 litre) kettle with a handle that curves over the top rather than at the side. It feels more stable to lift and puts less pressure on my wrists. I wish I had made the switch years ago!

[Lillylilac]

Aww thanks so much Debsdelight72. Any advice to help is soooo appreciated. I will defo look into this as I have the same problem. Xxx

[Bottleforlife]

Thank you for reminding me about these kettles ! My sister used to have one and I forgot about them. I have been struggling with my hands and wrists for months but I haven’t told anyone how bad they are so I just carry on as normal. This will help me out massively as I have been worrying about dropping the kettle.

I am an extremely independent woman and I just face admitting defeat and asking for help yet so thank you 🫶

[Debsdelight72 in reply to Bottleforlife]

I'm sorry Bottleforlife that you feel unable to ask for help, I used to be like you with the Independent not asking for help,It's more that I couldn't manage on my own anymore because of the pain and exhaustion, I'm sorry you think your admitting to defeat🙄

It's great that you just keep going, Although asking for help Is not admitting defeat, I'd rather ask for help rather than struggle and end up in bed for days on end with a flare up

[JessHoney]

Hi, thank you for the tip, I have wrist and upper arm issues, I just use less water in my kettle or heat up milk etc in the microwave just now.. but I know how difficult it can be,

[MaggieSylvie]

Not much help for my blind partner then! Shame - if I only had the space!

[Debsdelight72]

Oh no Maggiesylvie, That is a shame,New ideas are being brought out all the time, Maybe there is something out there that can be of any help soon

[jade1966]

Hi there glad that you found that to help you out I have the same problem lisfting kettles etc and I got a sort of kettle called one cup, You can buy them on Amazon if you just put in search one cup kettle, you can fill it up as you would do a kettle but that defeats the object really I fill mine with a jug 🙂 Sharon x

[Debsdelight72 in reply to jade1966]

Nice 1, I had that 1 suggested earlier so it must be good

[AgedCrone]

I am on my third hot water dispenser…the first two lasted for years & I’m a great fan…..I bought the third because I wanted a black not white one.

They all looked exactly the same & all were bought from Amazon…so if you are in the market don’t buy the Hometronix make …it drips & it’s noisy.

Sometimes overnight, whether you leave it switched on or off it almost fills the little drip tray.

It works OK..but is much noisier than the first two I had…& I’m fed up with emptying the drip tray!
