The Best Electric Kettles in 2023

Chefman is known for its high-quality kitchen products, and its electric kettle is no exception, checking every box it needs to and more and making it the best electric kettle on the market. Available in either stainless steel or borosilicate glass, it’s not only durably built but intuitively (and beautifully) designed. With a drip-free spout, 360-degree swivel base, and LED indicator lights, this kettle is easy to use from fill up to clean up.

Despite being able to hold up to 1.8 liters of water, you’ll find yourself with a hot cup in just 3 short minutes, thanks to the fast-boil technology. With the automatic shutoff, stay-cool handle, and boil-dry protection, you’ll have peace of mind whether you’re running out of the house with a hot cup of coffee in the morning or making hot cocoa with your little ones.

While the other kettles are primarily built with stainless steel, this one is made of quality borosilicate glass material, preserving the water’s pure taste. I love how the whole kettle lights up blue when the water is done boiling (it’s like a party in my kitchen).

This kettle also has premium safety features at a much lower price point. The thermostat automatically shuts off the kettle after 30 seconds of boiling for safe operation. It also has boil-dry protection that closes off the kettle and makes sure your kettle interior does not catch fire when water is dried up inside the kettle.

Its no-drip spout will have you pouring cups of tea with ease. And as someone constantly cleaning my appliances, I love how the wide lid pops off for easy cleaning. You can fit your hand in there with a rag to easily wipe out any residue, and Cosori recommends using lemon and baking soda to reduce limescale in your kettle.

From a brand that’s all about making “slow coffee”, this kettle is anything but slow. Making a pour-over does take more time than a K-cup, but I think we all know what tastes better. Whether you’re making a pour-over or antioxidant tea, this simple kettle is a great pick.

Bringing back the sleek, minimalist features of the Poliviar kettle, Bodum is a third of the price. Though the temperature is less customizable, it is very easy to use. Just flip the switch to get started (it will shut off automatically when it’s done).

We have this kettle in our office, and it’s a crowd-pleaser. I love the comfortable handle and sometimes having fewer options takes the stress out of heating up my water. I also have the compact plastic Bodum kettle that I used in my dorm room many moons ago (same functions, less style for under $30).

For those who crave the look and style of a stovetop kettle, we have the pick for you. This pistachio beauty looks just like a classic stovetop kettle. If you have other KitchenAid appliances, you can match this kettle to other product lines, which we love to do.

Looks aside, this kettle comes with convenient cord storage under the base, has a large capacity of 1.25 liters, and it boils in minutes with the flip of its LED switch. You can remove it from the base and take it anywhere you need when it’s done boiling.

It also includes a limescale filter to keep your kettle clean. Although it has fewer features, this kettle is an all-in-all solid pick.

We love this electric kettle from Willow & Everett. It’s an excellent choice for pour-over coffee and tea fans. With its 1000W power, hot water can be boiled quickly and conveniently, so you can enjoy that cup of joe or tea in no time (great for those of us who are a little impatient). This electric kettle features a unique gooseneck spout which provides a slow, controlled flow to ensure the optimal flavor when brewing. I love the safe materials this kettle is made of, from the BPA-free handle to the chemical-free interior. All of the stainless steel is 100% food-grade so your water has a pure taste.

For added peace of mind and convenience, the kettle has an auto shut-off function to ensure that it powers down after boiling and a small, airtight, spill-free lid that prevents scalding hot messes. It also looks great on your countertop (this is not another bulky appliance you’ll want to hide away). For an excellent cup of coffee or tea every time, this electric kettle is an ideal choice.

This kettle is loved far and wide for its beautiful 1950s-era aesthetic. I mean look at the embossed lettering!

It comes in a variety of colors that TikTok and Instagram influencers have been featuring in their dreamy kitchens. Aesthetics aside, this kettle is equipped with all of the electric kettle must-haves. Smeg’s kettle includes auto-shutoff so you can walk away while boiling. The feet are also grippy so your kettle won’t be at risk for falling. And if you’re like me and hate the look of excess cords lying around, this kettle has hidden cord storage underneath. If you love to keep your kettle clean, Smeg has a removable limescale filter and a wide opening for easy, thorough cleaning.

Jackie Aina, a lifestyle and luxury influencer on TikTok loves her Smeg and also has some tips for cleaning and reducing any buildup which you can see after the buying guide below.
