The Fdit 43307-14506 is a 12 V DC travel kettle designed to run from a car's 12 V outlet, not a standard home power outlet. At 150 W and 0.1 lb, it's an ultra-lightweight on-the-road option, but its 3.8-star rating from 605 reviews reflects real limitations that buyers should understand before purchasing.
Travelers, truck drivers, or outdoor enthusiasts who need to heat water from a 12 V car or truck outlet with no access to household power. It's purpose-built for vehicle use, not countertop use.
Skip if
Skip it for any home or office use, it won't work in a standard wall outlet. Also skip if you need hot water quickly: 150 W is dramatically slower than household kettles that run at 1000-1500 W.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other coffee makers, kettles and brewers we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The key spec that defines this product is the voltage: 12 V at 150 W. That means it draws power from a car's 12 V DC outlet (cigarette lighter port), not from a standard US 120 V household socket. A household kettle draws 1000-1500 W; this one draws 150 W at a much lower voltage, so heating water to a boil takes significantly longer.
The bottle-style carafe in stainless steel and ABS plastic weighs just 0.1 lb, an extreme lightweight that makes sense for a product intended to live in a vehicle. Dimensions of 5.91 x 5.12 x 6.3 in are appropriately compact for a car or truck.
The 3.8-star average from 605 reviews reflects the tradeoffs inherent in low-wattage travel kettles: they work, but they're slow and some buyers arrive expecting performance comparable to home kettles. If you understand the 12 V limitation going in, expectations align better with the experience.
Pros
Works from a 12 V car or truck outlet, no household power needed
Extremely lightweight at 0.1 lb for travel and in-vehicle use
Stainless steel (304 grade) plus ABS body is a durable road-use combo
Compact bottle form factor fits in a cup holder or bag
Cons
150 W is extremely slow, boiling takes much longer than home kettles
Does not work in standard 120 V wall outlets
3.8-star rating from 605 reviews signals mixed satisfaction
No capacity listed in the specs
Performance notes
At 12 V and 150 W, this kettle operates on a fundamentally different power circuit than household models. Heating time to boil will be several times longer than a 1500 W household kettle. Weight of 0.1 lb is exceptionally light, likely reflecting the bottle and element only without water. Dimensions of 5.91 x 5.12 x 6.3 in are compact for vehicle storage.
What buyers say
The 3.8-star rating from 605 reviews reflects a split experience. Buyers who understood the product was a slow 12 V travel heater report it works adequately for that use case. Those who expected household-style boiling speed, or didn't realize it requires a car outlet, account for much of the dissatisfaction in the reviews.
Can I plug the Fdit 43307-14506 into a wall outlet at home?
No. This kettle runs on 12 V DC, which is the voltage from a car's cigarette lighter port. It is not compatible with standard 120 V household outlets.
How long does it take to boil water in this travel kettle?
At 150 W, boiling time is significantly longer than home kettles. A standard 1500 W kettle boils 1 L roughly 10x faster than a 150 W unit, so expect a substantial wait, especially at full capacity.
What is the capacity of the Fdit travel kettle?
No capacity is listed in the published specs. Based on the bottle-style form factor and compact dimensions, it is likely in the 300-600 mL range, but confirm on the product listing before purchase.
