Electric kettles are a great small appliance that provide an easy way to heat water without having to use your stove.

These small but mighty countertop kettles are a convenient way to enjoy warm drinks during the cooler months.

If you are shopping for a new electric kettle or interested in exploring your options, there are a few product details you should consider.

Saftey features

An automatic shut-off feature should be top of your list when shopping for a kettle. There is also an additional feature that some kettles have which is a boil-dry protection shut off -- this will prevent overheating or other potential hazards.

Boiling speed

The faster the boil time the more convenient. Some of our picks below will come to a boil in 7 minutes.

Capacity

Whether you are using your kettle for one person or a family of five making sure it meets your needs is an important functionality to consider.

Ease of cleaning

You should also make sure that your kettle is easy to clean -- think wide spout, removable filter, or dishwasher safe which will help make your upkeep easier.

Below we have rounded up 5 of the top reviewed kettles on the market based on these factors to help you make the best and most informed shopping decision.
