Kettle tipper
Kettle tippers help people with limited reach, dexterity and strength transfer hot water from a kettle or teapot into a cup. This helps reduce strain on your hands and reduce the risk of dangerous boiling water spills.

Benefits
The tipper holds the kettle and pours the hot water without lifting.
Suitable for the elderly, disabled, or those who have weakness in their hands and arms or reduced grip strength.
Returns to an upright position easily using springs or counterbalance, depending on the product.
Things to consider
Not all kettle tippers are universal. You will need to find the tipper to match the kettle you have or consider purchasing a new kettle.
The tipper does not help in the process of filling it with water. Consider using a light container like a jug or a mug to fill it to the desired capacity.
Locating the kettle tipper close to the sink will help in the process of filling and emptying the kettle of unwanted water without lifting it.
May not be suitable for someone with visual impairments.
