Our guide to the best kettles for every kitchen

Perhaps the most used appliance in our kitchens, the handy-dandy kettle is often overlooked until it goes bust, leaving a rather inconvenient gap in our daily morning and night routines. Whether you're looking for a statement piece or a sleek model, some basic factors you'll want to consider include:

1. How heavy or balanced the kettle is when full
2. How sturdy the base is to lift from
3. Electric or stovetop
4. Temperature settings (for the tea connoisseurs)
5. Cord length in relation to your power outlet
6. Noise levels during boil and how it indicates when boiled
