Good travel accessories are characterised by their ability to adapt to the circumstances. When camping or at campsites, the power supply often presents a minor hurdle – with their high wattage, traditional domestic kettles quickly push older or less robust mains systems to their limits. Rommelsbacher has specifically developed the WK 1000 to meet these requirements: with a practical rated power of 1,000 watts, the appliance is gentle on fuses and kind to the mains supply. This protects the often weak fuses at campsites and also reduces the strain on the mobile power supply in the camper van. It reliably heats water to 100 °C in no time – ideal for a quick cup of filter coffee in the morning, your favourite tea or some instant noodles as a snack.

Lightweight, handy and ready for travel

Weighing just 750 grams, the WK 1000 is barely noticeable in your luggage. To make the most of the available storage space in your suitcase or kitchen cupboard, this stylish kettle features a fold-away handle that tucks flat against the body. Together with the integrated cable rewind system and the included carry pouch, the appliance can be tidied away neatly and space-efficiently in no time at all. The 0.6-litre capacity is perfectly sized to meet the needs of singles, couples or globetrotters without adding any unnecessary bulk.
This is also confirmed by the travel-loving Karin Lechner: “Everything about the travel kettle is just right. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do when you’re on the move – and it does it really well. The water heats up quickly, whilst the exterior of the body stays pleasantly cool. The handle folds flat – which is absolutely practical in tight spaces. Whether in a suitcase or a camper van, it takes up hardly any space and is an essential item on any trip.”

Safety meets everyday practicality

Despite its compact dimensions, the WK 1000 incorporates the tried-and-tested standards of modern kitchen appliances. The kettle is made entirely of stainless steel on the inside and has a sealed base. Thanks to the double-walled construction, the outer casing remains pleasantly cool even when the contents are boiling – this Cool-Touch technology is an invaluable safety feature in the often cramped interior of a campervan or on a hotel bedside table. An automatic shut-off function, integrated overheating protection and dry-boil protection ensure complete peace of mind with every use.

Versatile use: from the campsite to the studio flat

Thanks to its timeless design in matt black, the WK 1000 fits into any setting. The 360° central base allows the jug to be placed on the base easily from any direction, making it equally comfortable to use for both right- and left-handers. The appliance also impresses with its deliberately simple operation: a classic, robust toggle switch and an indicator light are all that’s needed for particularly intuitive use. The removable lid with a silicone seal also makes it easier to fill and clean the jug after your trip. Whether as a permanent fixture in your camping kit, a reliable essential for holiday lettings, or a practical everyday solution in a student flat – this little all-rounder demonstrates just how much functionality can be packed into such a compact space.
