Product Information

This change of mind return policy is in addition to, and does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law including any rights you may have in respect of faulty items. And we would avoid buying any cheap kettle that has a mains cable connected directly to the jug itself, as the slot-in stand design of most modern kettles is far safer. Finally, if you have a little more money to splash out on a smart kettle, you'll benefit from quiet boiling, temperature control, a keep warm function, voice control and app integration. Removable, Washable Anti-Scale Filter– Ensures the water poured is always fresh and keeps the appliance working like-new for longer.

Boiling a full kettle is a waste of energy. On that note, a double-walled kettle will insulate hot water for longer. Also, it keeps the outside of the kettle cool to the touch. Aesthetics aside, the Artisan also proved itself in our tests. It took just 2 mins 22 secs to boil 1l of water, which is on par with the rest of the 3,000W models tested. It also excels when it comes to keeping the noise down. During boiling, it only reached a maximum of 52.2dB, making it the quietest kettle on our list. What’s more, once the water’s boiled, there’s no worrying about burning your fingers on the sides. The outside of the Artisan reached an exterior temperature of just 33°C, owing to its dual-walled insulation. Finally, think about noise. The difference between our quietest and loudest kettles, which measured in at 52 and 63 decibels, is considerable, although everyone’s tolerance to noise is different.While we liked the Russell Hobbs Attentiv best overall, the Bosch Styline is no slouch, providing a great alternative for anyone not quite won over by the Attentiv. Differentiating it from the Russell Hobbs model are its dual-walled insulation, keeping it at a cool exterior temperature of 31.9°C in use, as well as its chic plastic and stainless steel body, which won’t get as visibly grubby as a glass kettle. One way to see how much energy your kettle is using is to do an experiment with your smart metre's in-home display. An IHD shows you how much energy you're using in kilowatt hours (kWh) and it shows how much it's costs. Citizens Advice suggests turning off all devices, except essential electricals, then use your kettle to see how much it costs you.

Research by Science Direct has compelling findings about our national use of the kettle. "In the UK, more than nine in ten people (90 per cent) use the kettle every day, with 40 per cent doing this five times a day or more." Although the article is extremely scientific, in summary, it found that a smart kettle was more energy-efficient than a standard kettle. If we're thinking collectively about sustainability, by boiling the kettle a little less or switching to an energy-efficient smart kettle, will make an enormous difference to our national energy use. Best Energy Saving Kettle At A Glance: The best energy saving kettles in the UK are among a new wave of kitchen appliances that pave the way to a more sustainable lifestyle. In general, the best kettle to go for is electric. Much more energy-efficient than a stove-top kettle, electric kettles automatically switch off when the water reaches boiling point, so there's no further electricity wastage. Overfilling the kettle is the bigger source of wastage, so it's better to boil what you need. And yet, there's always someone in the household who does it; perhaps it's a legacy from living in student digs when a cuppa was on the go every five minutes... One notable downside of the Dualit Lite is that it doesn’t do its business super quietly. We recorded how loud each kettle was at boiling water and the Dualit Lite notched up 58.3dB, the second loudest score. Noisiness aside, it did perform well in our tests, including heat retention. There’s no need to rush to pour the water out with this one either. Five minutes after boiling, the water in the Dualit Lite still measured a toasty 93°C, coming second only to the Zwilling Enfinigy Pro. Bet you've never thought of the humble kettle as a multifunctional cooking appliance. No, neither did we, but the more you think about it, a kettle can prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner, provided it's porridge, pasta and instant noodles. It's there for your first coffee of the day, that mid-morning cuppa, an afternoon herbal tea and the evening hot chocolate. Where would we be without a kettle? Other design elements of the Styline we like include its four temperature settings (70°C, 80°C, 90° and boiling), half hour keep warm function, soft-open lid, large viewing window with clear measurement markings and smooth-pouring spout. Finally, when it comes to boil speed, the Styline’s 3,000W heating element means it’s as swift as any of the other similarly powered kettles on our list.

Next up is useability. We test how easy the kettle is to fill, hold and pour, its weight and whether the fill lines are easy to read. If the kettle has any additional features beyond boiling water, we also look at how useful these are. Finally, we take into consideration each kettle’s build quality and design, and whether these reflect its price. One very basic thing to look out for is how a kettle is filled: a button-operated flip-top lid is worth having as it means you don’t need to put your hand anywhere near the spout (or any steam coming out of it) when you’re refilling it. This Russell Hobbs Luna Kettle featuring a slim, modern design with a sophisticated Moonlight Grey finish is a truly out of this world appliance that makes a stunning statement in any kitchen. Combine this with superb functionality from this modern day essential, and you’re bound to love making that relaxing cuppa to unwind. Rapid Boil Zone– Delivers fast heat up times for less waiting around and allows you to choose the volume for 1, 2 or 3 cups.

To add one caveat, it should be noted that the Zwilling Enfinigy Pro has an 1,850W heating coil, unlike many of the other kettles on our list, which tend to have 3,000W elements. This means it is naturally slower to boil than its rivals. If you tend to get impatient for your morning cup of tea or coffee, the 3 mins 45 secs it takes the Enfinigy Pro to boil a litre of water may prove a tad too long for your liking. Most kettles tend to be bright white, chrome, silver or otherwise have some degree of colourful “pop”. For anyone looking to engender a calming atmosphere in their kitchen, the Kenwood Dusk provides a great, visually soothing alternative to these more attention grabbing kettles.The Dusk has a rotund, matte body lined with glossy stripes and is available in three aesthetically pleasing, muted colours: Slate Grey, Olive Green and Twilight Purple. Matching its appearance, the Kenwood’s test results were equally calm, with a peak loudness measurement of just 53.3dB. Its 3,000W heating element also didn’t disappoint, recording a time of 2 mins 20 secs in our one litre boil speed test. What’s more, its peak exterior temperature in use was just 54.6°C, which sits firmly in the warm-but-safe range, meaning no burnt fingers. Other benefits of the Dusk include its 1.7l capacity and wide, smooth-pouring spout.If you don't have an in-home display or smart meter, you can work out how much your kettle costs to use with this equation: Fancy something a little different? The Russell Hobbs Illuminating Glass Kettle stands out thanks to its unique physical design, as well as a few clever design elements. In use, the Illuminating Kettle, as its name would suggest, lights up its body and the water inside with a row of pleasant blue LEDs. The kettle is also capacious at 1.7l, has a one-button pop-up lid and bears a clear green marker on its body, which indicates how much water is needed for a single cup, helping you avoid water and energy waste. Smart meters give us an insight into our water and energy consumption. Rather than being triggered by watching the numbers ramp up, we know that we can save money through efficient use of household appliances. The key factors are usage (how much do you boil the kettle?), energy consumption (how much electricity does that use?) and wastage (how much-boiled water gets poured down the sink?). Finally, think about seasonal use - more hot drinks are needed in the colder months of the year. If you spend most of the day at home, the kettle will be the most used appliance in the kitchen. KitchenAid’s Artisan kettle comes in as the most expensive model on our list, but we found it to be worth every penny of its premium price tag. Its sleek, matte finish and general design are beautiful and the range of colours available make it easy to tailor its look to suit your kitchen.

Thanks to its 3,000W heating element, it also proved itself a speedy boiler in our group test, matching other similarly powerful models with its one litre boil time of 2 mins 20 secs. Rounding things out with a handsome, sturdy glass and stainless construction, the Attentiv won top marks from us. This kettle is a stunning addition to any kitchen worktop. It is available in two striking colours, midnight grey and red. These kettles also match perfectly with the coordinating Luna toaster. This kettle has a window to easily measure the level of water inside, where you can see if more needs to be added. It also comes with illumination, so the light will stay on during the boiling time. This is similar to the Russell Hobbs Mode kettle, where the spout will also light up while boiling. Kettle with Fast Boil Technology One of the more expensive kettles on our list, the Zwilling Enfinigy Pro justifies its lofty price tag with an ultra-modern design, commendable suite of features and solid performance. This sleek, space age kettle placed highly in both our exterior temperature and heat retention tests. Its peerless dual-wall insulation helped it maintain an outside temperature of just 29.4°C in use, while keeping the water inside at 94.6°C five minutes after boiling. In terms of functionality, the Enfinigy Pro boasts variable temperature settings ranging from 40°C to 100°C and a 30-minute keep warm function, all programmable via the touch buttons on its base. We’re also big fans of the old-fashioned temperature gauge on the front, which proved both charming and practical. We also like the smooth-acting temperature setting lever on the bottom, which allows you to heat water to between 50°C and 100°C, in 10°C increments, ideal for a variety of drinks. Once set in action, the kettle emits a soft white light and a calming low beep – it might sound silly, but the Artisan gives boiling water a truly luxurious feel thanks to deft design touches like these.

FAQs

Kettles aren’t the most high-tech of kitchen items, but it’s worth looking out for safety features such as an auto shut-off function – should you accidentally put too little water in the kettle, this will stop it boiling dry. Rounded up, it works out at 2.5 pence a day to use a kettle. What Features Should I Look For In A Kettle?
