I need to purchase a silicon collapsable kettle.
I need some advice from anyone who has used one and can shed some light on which one is the best or if there are any problems.

You "need" a collapsible kettle?
It seems a lot of expense for a very small saving in space.

We have an Outwell one. It holds 1.5 litres and boils very quickly saving on gas. It's sturdy and the handle is easy to use (I found those with the handle pointing upwards less easy but I have arthritis).
The best thing us that it collapses almost flat saving storage room in the camper van ( it fits in the grill when travelling).
We've had ir for about 6 months and used ut quite a lot and have not found any problems with it yet.

We have the Outwell one. Got to be honest I've not used it when away much as the capacity is so small. We usually use the bigger non folding one as we need to boil water for washing up, so a bigger capacity is better.
It is good for days out though, when we want to go more light weight. They do give off an odd smell though, but if you don't overfill them it doesn't taint the water.

We've got an Outwell one, actually it was from Halfords so 'Vacanza' by Outwell.
It did have a smell when we first bought it, but it has never made the water taste, and now its had lots of use the smell has gone.
You have to tip it quite far when pouring, but the lid stays on securely, it's 1.5litre and we manage drinks for 4 of us, or for boiling water for pots.
The range were selling one similar to the wacky practicals one, I don't remember the price but they are both only 1.1litre.

Thanks for the advice.
I was concerned about smell and tainting the water, so I'm glad I asked.
Run it in a lttle at home first just to settle it down.
I hadn't heard of the Wacky Practicals one, so another one to add to my search list.
As there is only two of us the capacity isn't to much of a problem.
