And we would avoid buying any cheap kettle that has a mains cable connected directly to the jug itself, as the slot-in stand design of most modern kettles is far safer. KitchenAid’s Artisan kettle comes in as the most expensive model on our list, but we found it to be worth every penny of its premium price tag. Its sleek, matte finish and general design are beautiful and the range of colours available make it easy to tailor its look to suit your kitchen. This change of mind return policy is in addition to, and does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law including any rights you may have in respect of faulty items.
The SK34030LYN Quiet Boil Kettle from Fearne by Swan is a good option for those looking for a more stylish and retro look. Available in three different styles (dome, jug and pyramid) you’re not without options with this one. It’s also comes in 9 different colours, pending availability. The kettle is 15 cm across the base, so it’s not a slim kettle by any means. There’s also been a few complaints of rust starting to build up so keep that in mind as well. Some reviewers have mentioned that a plastic insert needs to be taken out which isn’t in the instructions, so looks out for that. Most kettles tend to be bright white, chrome, silver or otherwise have some degree of colourful “pop”. For anyone looking to engender a calming atmosphere in their kitchen, the Kenwood Dusk provides a great, visually soothing alternative to these more attention grabbing kettles.The Dusk has a rotund, matte body lined with glossy stripes and is available in three aesthetically pleasing, muted colours: Slate Grey, Olive Green and Twilight Purple. Overall, there is no better value for money than the 23211 Luna. It not as high-end as our #2 choice, but comparing price, style and dB level… there really isn’t a better choice.
Other design elements of the Styline we like include its four temperature settings (70°C, 80°C, 90° and boiling), half hour keep warm function, soft-open lid, large viewing window with clear measurement markings and smooth-pouring spout. Finally, when it comes to boil speed, the Styline’s 3,000W heating element means it’s as swift as any of the other similarly powered kettles on our list. The 21888 tests up to 70% quieter than other kettles without quiet boil, and rapid boil allows a cup to be boiled in around 45 seconds, similar to other Russell Hobbs with the same technology.

To return faulty items see our Returning Faulty Items policy. One of the more expensive kettles on our list, the Zwilling Enfinigy Pro justifies its lofty price tag with an ultra-modern design, commendable suite of features and solid performance. This sleek, space age kettle placed highly in both our exterior temperature and heat retention tests. Its peerless dual-wall insulation helped it maintain an outside temperature of just 29.4°C in use, while keeping the water inside at 94.6°C five minutes after boiling. In terms of functionality, the Enfinigy Pro boasts variable temperature settings ranging from 40°C to 100°C and a 30-minute keep warm function, all programmable via the touch buttons on its base. Next up is useability. We test how easy the kettle is to fill, hold and pour, its weight and whether the fill lines are easy to read. If the kettle has any additional features beyond boiling water, we also look at how useful these are. Finally, we take into consideration each kettle’s build quality and design, and whether these reflect its price.
Boasting rapid boil, simply fill the kettle enough for one cup and it’ll be ready in 45 seconds… not too shabby! This kettle is designed by the household name Russell Hobbs. They manufacture not only kettles, but many other household appliances, e.g. toasters, bread makers, electric shavers, irons, etc. Style Our top recommendation is the Russell Hobbs 23211 Luna, followed closely by the Dualit 72815. Both equipped with style and range of features anyone would be happy with, it’s a no brainer. One very basic thing to look out for is how a kettle is filled: a button-operated flip-top lid is worth having as it means you don’t need to put your hand anywhere near the spout (or any steam coming out of it) when you’re refilling it.
Russell Hobbs Luna Kettle
From a design point of view, the kettle is certainly well constructed. The style is more subjective of course, but in my view the 23211 Luna Kettle looks smart. It's a fairly compact modern style kettle which is sleek in its appearance and would go well together with other modern appliances. It would certainly be suitable style wise for most kitchens.
Power Light Indicator - When the kettle is switched on, a power light turns on to indicate that boiling is in process. Fancy something a little different? The Russell Hobbs Illuminating Glass Kettle stands out thanks to its unique physical design, as well as a few clever design elements. In use, the Illuminating Kettle, as its name would suggest, lights up its body and the water inside with a row of pleasant blue LEDs. The kettle is also capacious at 1.7l, has a one-button pop-up lid and bears a clear green marker on its body, which indicates how much water is needed for a single cup, helping you avoid water and energy waste. Similar to the Fearne by Swan, the 20460 comes with a 360 degree base making it ideal for left or right handed people. I’m a lefty myself so that’s a big plus for me… anything that makes moving boiling water easier is always good. One notable downside of the Dualit Lite is that it doesn’t do its business super quietly. We recorded how loud each kettle was at boiling water and the Dualit Lite notched up 58.3dB, the second loudest score. Noisiness aside, it did perform well in our tests, including heat retention. There’s no need to rush to pour the water out with this one either. Five minutes after boiling, the water in the Dualit Lite still measured a toasty 93°C, coming second only to the Zwilling Enfinigy Pro. Matching its appearance, the Kenwood’s test results were equally calm, with a peak loudness measurement of just 53.3dB. Its 3,000W heating element also didn’t disappoint, recording a time of 2 mins 20 secs in our one litre boil speed test. What’s more, its peak exterior temperature in use was just 54.6°C, which sits firmly in the warm-but-safe range, meaning no burnt fingers. Other benefits of the Dusk include its 1.7l capacity and wide, smooth-pouring spout.
Specification
Safety features– Safety features such as illuminating when it’s on and cool to the touch are extremely useful to prevent burning. Dynamic Filter - The kettle contains a removable, washable filter designed to reduce problems with limescale. To add one caveat, it should be noted that the Zwilling Enfinigy Pro has an 1,850W heating coil, unlike many of the other kettles on our list, which tend to have 3,000W elements. This means it is naturally slower to boil than its rivals. If you tend to get impatient for your morning cup of tea or coffee, the 3 mins 45 secs it takes the Enfinigy Pro to boil a litre of water may prove a tad too long for your liking. Boil-dry technology comes as standard (as with many on our list) and a 360 degree base increases it’s ease of use.
If you don’t fancy the glass design, the Sensio is also available in copper or chrome. I personally like the glass better, but each to their own. It’s also worthwhile keeping in mind that with any glass kettle, limescale build up will be more visible. The 23210 Luna by Russell Hobbs is a great choice for those looking for colour with functional use. Available in three colours (red, grey and copper) you’re eyes are immediately fix on the striking colour. The colours can also be matched with a toasted and coffee maker if you’re looking for the full set. Followed by the Russell Hobbs 21888 in third… a great choice if you’re looking for bold colours and a traditional style.
Kettle with Fast Boil Technology
The Russell Hobbs 21888 kettle is a contender for the best on this list. There’s almost too many features to talk about on this one but we’ll do our best!
