Electric Kettles Buying Advice

A good electric kettle boils safely and is easy to clean. This page is buying advice. We add specific product picks only after reading the maker's own page.

Start with what you need

  • Capacity. Around 1 to 1.8 litres is common. Pick by how many cups you make at once.
  • Body material. Stainless steel is sturdy. Check what the inside is made of, and read how any plastic parts feel in reviews.
  • Safety. Auto cut-off and boil-dry protection are useful features. Check the listing.
  • Cleaning. A wide mouth makes scale easier to clean.

Buying guide

  • Power. Higher watts boil faster. Check the listed power.
  • Lid and spout. Look for a lid that closes well and a spout that pours cleanly.
  • Descaling. Hard water leaves scale. Follow the maker's descaling advice.
