Water heaters have become more and more popular in China. The aim in developing this product was to replace the traditional electric kettle with one that could take warmer water directly from the faucet. Because many kitchens in China have limited space, this sleek and attractive heater saves space twice: it is stationary because it receives water directly from the supply, and thanks to its flat top, it can be used as a surface for other objects. It can thus become an unobtrusive yet indispensable presence in the kitchen.
