A kettle may be a kitchen staple rather than a luxury buy but that doesn’t mean you have to settle for a basic model. However stylish a kettle may look on the outside, it can still be prone to pet hate problems, such as a spout that dribbles, places for limescale to gather and being a faff to fill.
Fortunately, most modern kettles are more than one-option water boilers, with features going beyond good looks, colours and a matching toaster. Useful functions to look for include clearly marked fill levels for cups (so you don’t boil more than you need), multiple temperature settings, easy filling, washable limescale filters (for minimising surface scum in hard water areas) and keep warm functions. Shop at the top end of the market and you will also find app-controlled kettles that can be switched on remotely which are popular with parents for nighttime bottle feeds and busy mornings.
