Our tough tests help us find the best kettle – one you can rely on to make you a quick, limescale-free cuppa. But the same tests also ensure we can alert you to the worst options that do a woeful job.
The worst kettles fail our lab requirements. They take ages to boil, are loud, fiddly to use and have poor limescale filters. Collapsible Electric Travel Kettle
Of the hundreds of kettles we've tested, the cheapest Best Buy costs just £22. The most expensive, which is also a Don't Buy, costs more than £200. Our stringent lab assessments separate the kettles you should avoid from those we recommend as Best Buy kettles.
We test kettles more thoroughly than everyone else, and because we're completely independent we're not afraid to say when a kettle's not worth buying.
Join Which? to find out the kettles we've named Don't Buys.
Which? has reviewed kettles from big-name brands such as Breville, De'Longhi, Dualit, Morphy Richards and Russell Hobbs, as well as less expensive own-label kettles from the likes of Argos, Asda and Sainsbury's, to uncover the best kettles – and the worst.
Best Buy kettles are easy to use, come with excellent limescale filters and boil water for just over two-and-a-half minutes.
Which? is independent – we work for you, the consumer, so you can be sure that our product recommendations are influenced only by our test results. We're not influenced by third parties and we don't accept freebies from product manufacturers or retailers. We buy all the products that we test ourselves, so our advice helps you to make the right choice the first time and avoid costly mistakes.
