I am curious about the performance of the VES 1004 road kettle. Has anyone tested it? How efficient is it in boiling water quickly and maintaining the temperature longer? Is it suitable for long road trips, and does it have any additional features that set it apart from other road kettles available in the market? Any insights or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!
