Shoppers rave over 'brilliant' Amazon thermos flask that has them ditching the kettle

Some people even said the flask is "worth every penny" and "pays for itself".

With the current cost of living crisis and concerns surrounding energy prices, many homeowners will be looking for ways they can reduce their reliance on household appliances such as the kettle.

While it may not be the most expensive appliance to run, rising bills may force a few of us to try and cut back on our energy usage as a means of keeping our electricity costs that bit lower. Which is why money-conscious Amazon shoppers have been raving over a £22.97 thermos vacuum flask that has helped them to save some pennies by cutting back on the amount of times they use the kettle.

Some have even said the flask is "worth every penny" and "pays for itself", as it has kept water warm for 8 hours a day - meaning they can grab their favourite brew without the added electricity costs.

The 3L Stainless Steel Vacuum Flask has currently been reduced 12 per cent to £22.97 from £25.99, and it is more affordable way for you to get your caffeine fix for much less.

According to Uswitch, it currently costs around 7p to boil the kettle for five minutes at a time, which is set to increase from October to 9p, which is exactly why shoppers are saying "every little helps."

The budget-friendly vacuum flask is designed with top quality stainless steel and features a double vacuumed wall to help it keep your beverages hot/cold all day long, making it ideal for those looking to save some energy in the home.

The nifty kitchen gadget gained attention after one shopper shared it to the popular Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Group on Facebook, where they recommended it to anyone who boils their kettles multiple times a day.

They wrote: "If you’re like me that boils the kettle 10 times a day, not that I drink that much coffee but that I forget I’ve put it on so I re boil it, I’ve just purchased one of these, I’ve boiled my Kettle once a day since purchasing.. might not save me 100’s but every little saving helps doesn’t it?"

The post has since gained a whopping 2.1k likes and nearly 1k comments from impressed shoppers who are all raving over the vacuum flask for being "worth every penny."

"We got the same one and I boil the kettle twice to fill it up and the don't use it again. Worth everything penny. It's already paid for itself", raved one shopper.

"I have one. I boil my kettle twice to fill it and that's it for the day. The water is still hot next morning, not hot enough for a cuppa but enough for dishes etc", commented a second.

"I have one and been doing it for a few weeks .. hubby is a tea belly and was constantly boiling the kettle now we boil once in morning and once in afternoon …", replied a third.

"All the neggy nancys. I think it’s a brill idea! I am a cuppa tea lover so boil the kettle many times a day too. Thank you xx", wrote a fourth.
