Which is the quietest electric kettle?
Generally, the more power a kettle draws, the more quietly (and quickly) it boils water. PADERNO's Variable Temperature Kettle is both very adjustable and very quiet when boiling or heating water. Other cordless models, and especially models with concealed heating elements, tend to make less noise.
What is the most reliable electric kettle?
Electric kettles are reliable by design, but a concealed heating element can prevent limescale build up from making kettles less effective over time. Boil dry protection is both a safety feature and good for maximising your kettle’s lifespan. Finally, metal and glass electric kettles tend to be more durable and reliable in the long run than plastic ones.
How do I choose a good electric kettle?
Which electric kettle is best for you depends on how much water you need to boil and how often you use your kettle. A programmable kettle is great if you want hot water ready for you every morning. Cordless electric kettles are easy to use and great for large countertops, and corded models are perfect for smaller kitchens where kettles can't stay on the counter. A removable scale filter is a feature to look out for if your home has hard water and you don’t like the flavour or appearance of minerals in your boiled water or hot drinks. Larger kettles can take longer to boil water but are handy when company is visiting.
