Moreover, the kettle is equipped with boil dry protection and automatic shut off features, adding a layer of safety, which is essential in a home bustling with kids.

The setup and connectivity were a breeze, making it user-friendly even for the tech-averse - even my wife, a self-confessed technophobe, is comfortable with the set up & use. The Swan app provides a straightforward interface for those who prefer a more hands-on control over the kettle.
