All kettles boil water. But some offer features you might not expect, like the ability to control the temperature of the heated water – which is handy for brewing drinks such as coffee.
Lid design is something to keep in mind. Some flip, others lift off entirely and on some more traditional models, handles extend across the opening. Looking at the design of your kitchen taps could help you decide which model would be best for easily filling in the sink.
We tested a range of the best kettles to bring you our tried and tested favourite models for all budgets. Each one turned off automatically and came with bases, with capacities ranging from 1.2-1.8 litres. Kettle weight, design and ease of use were also taken into consideration.
Our full kettle buying guide runs you through everything you need to know, from features to look out for to speed and capacity. Once you’ve decided on the kettle for you, this is the right place to be.
