Best Electric Kettle in India

Start with body material. Four of the five here are steel. KENT makes the glass one, and its blue light shows the water as it heats. Our guides to the best stainless steel electric kettle and the best glass electric kettle cover each material in depth.

Next, pick the size. The kettles here run from 1.2 to 1.8 litres, and no maker gives a household size. Larger kettles take more space on the counter.

Then check the safety features. Auto shut-off and boil-dry protection matter most. The Prestige, Bajaj and KENT kettles list both. The Milton lists shut-off only. The Havells lists neither.

Look at power as well. The listed figures run from 1250 to 1800 watts. A higher wattage is the maker's rating for the heating element.

Think about handling too. Havells and Milton both describe a wide mouth for filling and cleaning. Bajaj lists a wide mouth and a safety locking lid. Prestige lists a single-touch lid lock. Milton says its handle can be touched immediately after use, and Havells says its double wall gives a cool-touch exterior.

Consider the warranty. Bajaj gives 2 years. Prestige and Milton give 1 year. Havells and KENT do not state one.

If you want more than boiling, the best multipurpose electric kettle page covers steaming kettles. For control over heat, read the best electric kettle with temperature control guide. For makers, see the best electric kettle brand page. All electric kettles sit in one hub.
