![]() It was speedy to boil one litre, taking two minutes and six seconds and the panel didn’t grow overly hot, reaching just over 60☌. This was the best kettle without variable temperature options. Although, be aware that there’s no water gauge, so you will have to check the level from the inside as you fill it. The body features a wrap-around panel which is available in a range of bright, eye-catching colours including orange and blue, and the stainless steel finish on the top and removable lid gives it a quality finish too. This kettle from Kenwood has a more cute, compact design, yet still has a sizeable 1.6 litre capacity. Stainless steel part of body gets very hot Read our full Tefal Smart n Light Kettle review. A good option if you’re worried about children or pets accidentally touching it too. Otherwise, it’s a great kettle which is easy to use and comes with a good range of temperatures and features. We also noticed that a lot of steam is released from around the lid when it reaches 100☌, which doesn’t look great. Some might prefer this, but it does make measuring the water difficult. First, there’s no water gauge, so you have to check the maximum capacity from within. However, there were a few areas on which it fell down in design. It was fairly fast as well, taking two minutes and 10 seconds on average to boil a litre of water. It scored generally well across the board for performance, but it got top marks for external body temperature, reaching just 40.4☌ - the lowest we recorded from our kettle tests. There’s a keep warm setting that lasts for up to 30 minutes. It shows both the live temperature and the selection of options available from 40-100☌. The Tefal Smart n Light Kettle certainly appears smart and sophisticated, thanks to the illuminated display on the body. Read our full KitchenAid Variable Temperature Kettle review. It takes a fair amount of energy to power too, needing 0.1165 kWh on average to boil a litre of water. However, be wary that the base is bulky and it will take up a fair amount of countertop space. The cord length is long as well, reaching 82cm - ideal if your plug is difficult to reach. It kept the water well-insulated despite lacking a keep warm setting. It was also quite quiet, reaching 73.3dB as it heated. In terms of performance, it was average for speed, but the exterior was very cool compared to others, reaching just 45.4☌. It offers variable temperatures from 50-100☌ and makes an audible noise when it starts and finishes. It’s got some weight to it (1271g when empty) - which is perhaps too much for some. With its traditional pyramid shape and built-in temperature gauge, it was easily the prettiest of kettles we tested, featuring a painted aluminium exterior (there are either colours to choose from) and a cushioned handle. If appearance means a lot to you, we definitely recommend the KitchenAid Variable Temperature Kettle.
