The product was an early example of an all plastic electric kettle with a single handed opening spout and adjustable whistle. The use of an integral hinge for the spout opening mechanism utilised the unique live hinge property of polypropylene, now common but at the time a novel use and very efficient to manufacture.
Awarded the Price Phillip Prize for Australian Design 1978, the KE12 electric kettle was designed by Barry Hudson.
