The kettle has most of the standard features, including a 360 degree base, a water window with gauge and safety features such as automatic shut off and boil dry protection. Most kettles tend to be bright white, chrome, silver or otherwise have some degree of colourful “pop”.

Available in three different colour variations of polished, copper trim and clay trim, the 72815 offers a very modern look, backed up with a bunch of useful features.

With the recent rise in energy costs, you might be considering ways to cut down on your electricity usage.If the kettle has any additional features beyond boiling water, we also look at how useful these are. Some ideas for usage are: 40C for lemsips and hot water bottles, 60C for certain exotic coffees, 80C for normal tea, 100C for black and herbal teas. It’s also worthwhile keeping in mind that with any glass kettle, limescale build up will be more visible.

Stovetop kettle: This is the most basic kind of kettle, which you simply put on the stove and heat up.A slightly different design than the rest on our list, this kettle offers a more traditional look but would fit in well with most kitchen styles. Similar to the Fearne by Swan, the 20460 comes with a 360 degree base making it ideal for left or right handed people. It has a square of black plastic on the lid which allows it to be closed without burning your fingers on the metal lid, if you ever needed to. Followed by the Russell Hobbs 21888 in third… a great choice if you’re looking for bold colours and a traditional style.
