I have an electric kettle that holds water in a vessel with transparent sides. When the kettle is turned on and heating water it illuminates the water with blue LEDs.

It doesn't bother me at night time as the light goes on only when it is in use. But the fact that it has lights at all is bothering.

My kettle's thermostat only releases the power switch, but doesn't actually cut the power, so if something is blocking the switch from going to the "off"(up) position - like a large plate or something similar - it boils off all the water and then starts burning itself.

Happen once and I only noticed because the light was on and I couldn't hear the water boiling because it wasn't there anymore.

A deaf person wouldn't be able to hear the kettle going through its phases.

Disability-first design has a way of blending in for people who aren't yet disabled.

Haha! I have this one too. I’ve always wondered, wouldn’t red represent the fact it’s being heated better? Anyway, I have to admit it looks cool unfortunately

That's the feature that sold me on electric kettles!
