Best Electric Kettles That Will Make Your Tea-Making Sesh A Breeze

Capacity: Think of how many cups of tea or coffee you will make in the morning (and the evening). Now think of the capacity you want to choose in accordance with that. Electric kettles usually range from 0.5 to 1.8 litres, so choose wisely. 

Heating Performance: The wattage performance varies for each model, and that determines how quickly your water gets heated. So, a 750W will take a few minutes more than a 1,500W kettle.

Construction: Your kettle should be well insulated, at least at the lid and handle for ease of use. Some kettles also come in different materials, so you can touch the lid without hurting yourself. And some others come with removable lids, making cleaning easier. 

Design: There are a lot of varieties out there. But check for a cordless design, which makes carrying the kettle around and cleaning it easier as it comes with a dock base that stores the cord. Some older models of kettles have a cord attached to the kettle's body, which can be harder to use and clean. 

First off, we love this one for its colour. How often do you get a functional kettle that is such a pleasant blue? Wins brownie points for the looks from us! The water heats quite quickly, even when filled to maximum capacity, and it stays warm for a good thirty minutes. If you want lukewarm water, it will stay so for nearly an hour, except in peak winter. The downside to this one is the short electric cord, but if you place it on a kitchen table that has a plug point, you are unlikely to need a longer cord. It also has a separate base, so if you choose to move the kettle around, you can without having to lug the wire too. The lid also doesn't snap shut the instant you let it go, which is a minor detail, but an important one.

What We Love: Sleek design, power (1200 watts) and cool-touch outer body

We are always on a lookout for kitchen gadgets that work well but also look super cute at the same time, and this kettle is just that! We love the retro look of it and the pastel colours. Apart from the looks, it's a well-functioning heavy-duty kettle with a capacity of 1.8 litres with a power of 2,150 watts. Stylish retro design thermometer dial which indicates the temperature of the water inside. The kettle comes with a circular spout, an independent lid, a spout filter and a handle with a curved design, which not only looks adorable but is also durable and easy to hold. The automatic shut-off and dry-boiling prevention features automatically shut off the kettle when the water is completely boiled or when there's no water left inside. Additionally, it also comes with a warranty of two years so you are pretty much sorted with this purchase.

What We Love: Capacity (1.8 litres), power (2,150 watts) and vintage design.

An oldie but a goodie, this Morphy Richards electric kettle has been around for quite some time and we don't mind saying that we prefer this one to the brand's newer electric kettle releases. Apart from the excellent quality that Morphy Richards is known for, the kettle is super convenient to use because of how multi-purpose it is. From boiling water for your tea to cooking noodles or pasta and even keeping your soup warm, this electric kettle is great for those who are always travelling and need to fix a meal in a few minutes. We love that it has a wide mouth in comparison to other kettles so you aren't restricted to just boiling water. It also comes with a steaming wire rack and a steaming basket so you can even boil corn and eggs in it with ease.

What We Love: Power (1,200 watts), steaming wire rack and a steaming basket, auto cut-off and dry boil protection

Kent's electric kettle is ideal for all Indian homes. It is transparent, very durable, and extremely efficient, as well as visually appealing. We think it's the ideal addition to your kitchen counter. And it holds 1.8 litres, which we think is pretty great. Additionally, the wattage is quite high (2,000W) so it heats water quickly without consuming electricity for long. It is a cordless kettle with a power base with an LED light that illuminates when the water heats, and an auto shut-off feature that makes it safe to use. The only con with this one is that if the water in your house is hard, the kettle might be prone to water marks which are quite visible because of its transparent body. 

What We Love: Power (2,000 watts), capacity (1.8 litres), transparent design.

Philips is a trusted brand for electronics, even though their products are relatively pricier. But, they are durable and stay intact for several years. This one's safe to use around the house (thanks to 25% thicker body for longer life and triple safe auto cut-off features) and is also lightweight, so it's easy to carry when one's travelling. It's very easy to clean because the lid stays open, as it's hinged. Furthermore, the cord is medium-sized, allowing you to easily place the kettle on the counter and use it; it also includes a cord winder, making it easy to pack and store. It heats up quickly thanks to its 1,800 watts performance, with a 1.5-litre capacity.

If you are looking for a pocket-friendly electric kettle with basic features that does the job then Prestige is one brand to look out for! Prestige is a trusted brand, and it's been good to most of us for years. This one has 1.5 litres so it has a good capacity, the heating performance is also good (1,500W) and it barely takes a minute or two for water to boil. Plus, it's cordless and has a power deck, so you can move it around in the kitchen easily and plug the cord in. The design is pretty standard, it's steel and black, which we don't mind. It automatically shuts off, which is great in case you forget to turn it off so there's no fear of the house burning down. 

What We Love: Capacity (1.5 litres), power (1,500 watts) and convenient cord.

What we like about this kettle is that apart from the usual features, it has a double wall, and the outer body does not get hot enough to burn you if you touch it. Its holding capacity is a little less (600 ml), making it compact and portable. But we prefer it because it heats water quickly. It has a deck to sit on, so the kettle is cordless and automatically turns off. Design-wise, it's also very cool with the sleek black body, much more appealing than common steel kettles. 

What We Love: Compact size (600 ml), cordless design and sleek black body.
