Kettles

What to look for in a kettle?

Technology & Features: Look for premium features like tea kettle with temperature control (Tempcontrol) for precise brewing. The durability of a stainless steel electric kettle is convenient, quick and can “set & forget” versus the modern appeal of a glass kettle or a stovetop kettle.

Variety & Aesthetics: House offers a range of sizes, from compact small electric kettle models which are perfect for solo brews or couples to family-sized 1.7L jugs. Create a harmonious blend of style and function by choosing a kettle that complements your home decor. Kettles typically sit on the kitchen counter in full view so why not blend it in with your kitchen aesthetic. Choose from colours and styles such as modern black kettles, classic silver kettles, bold red kettles, soothing green kettles, or charming floral kettles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the best brand for a kettle?

Top brands like Breville, KitchenAid, and Russell Hobbs are consistently rated highly for durability, speed, and design. The "best" depends on whether you prioritise speed, features (tea kettle with temperature control), or aesthetic matching.

What kind of kettle is best?

The best kind is usually a high-wattage electric kettle (1.7L capacity or higher). Look for a Digital or Smart Kettle if you need variable temperature settings, or a Stainless Steel Kettle for maximum durability.

What is the quietest kettle on the market in Australia?

Look for models specifically marketed as 'Quiet Boil' or 'Low Noise' by brands like Russell Hobbs or Morphy Richards. These typically feature internal coatings or specialised design elements to dampen the boiling noise.

What is the difference between expensive and cheap kettles?

Expensive kettles (from brands like KitchenAid or Alessi) typically offer faster boiling times (higher wattage), better longevity, more advanced features (like tea kettle with temperature control), and superior aesthetic design and materials.

How often should you replace your kettle?

Kettles typically last between 4 to 7 years. You should consider replacing your water kettle when it takes significantly longer to boil, leaks, or if the auto-shutoff mechanism fails.

How many watts should a good kettle have?

A good, fast-boiling electric jug should have a high wattage, ideally between 2000 and 2400 watts, especially for family-sized 1.7L models.
