A kettle is a small appliance used for boiling water for making tea or other hot beverages. In the past most Kettles were designed for the stovetop. Nowadays the most common kettles are stand along electric kettles. A basic kettle with incorporate a spout and usually a lid, although there are lidless kettles, where the water is filled through the spout. Many stovepot kettles also have a whistle attached to the spot, to signal when the water has boiled. The range of modern kettles varies in design. You can find simple kettles with just the basic heater elements. Or the most advanced kettles, which come with features such as a thermal and water level sensor. Some modern kettles are also cordless now, they have two separable parts. The kettle and the base with all the electrical connections.

This stainless steel body kettle has recently had a few redesigns, I purchased mine around 1985 and it's still working perfectly. In all this time the only fault has been the auto switch not functioning once, but I soon got the fault corrected. I am o happy to be the owner of such a good quality product. If the modern version is anything like mine you have got yourself a bargain.

We found that electric kettles have come down in price recently, with a the lowest / cheap price being around £10 going upto £60 for an expensive kettle with all the features. The best idea would probably be not buy a very cheap priced kettle foe 10 pounds because it's bound not to last long and seeing as the best only costs 60 pounds you may as well go for that.

Some cheap eectric kettles come with options and features such as a Limescale filter, 360 degree connector base, water hold of 1.7 plus litres, electronic reminder to change kettle filter cartridge, dual on/off switch for water filtration & boiling, brita cartridge included to name a few we have seen.
