Stainless Steel Kettle with Digital Display, Strix Controller, Keep Warm Function, Temperature Control, 1.7 litre (UK Plug), Silver

This kettle is an excellent, practical buy. The digital display is a huge upgrade, making it easy to set the exact temperature you need for different drinks. Boiling speed is fast, and the Keep Warm function is a convenient feature for busy mornings. It feels sturdy with the stainless steel design, and the Strix controller provides reliable performance. A simple, efficient appliance that gets the job done without any fuss. Great value for the price.

Surprisingly good. Doesn't look cheap and works better than my old temperature controlled kettle. This one has a neat feature where when you set the temperature for heating or 'keep warm', it remembers the setting after you turn off. All my previous ones, you had to set the temperature each time and it always defaulted to 100C. It's not a fast boil type as it only has a 2kW element. The one thing I miss from my previous kettle is that it would beep when it was done, which was useful when it was set to stop before boiling, so you wouldn't hear it gurgling and with no mechanical switch, there's no 'click' noise either. Be careful with the outside jug temperature though, as this kettle does not have a double skin so the outside stainless steel jug will be as hot as the water inside.

This Amazon Basics electric kettle hits the sweet spot between affordability and functionality. Cranks out a full kettle (1.7 L, mind you) in what feels like no time—thanks to the hefty 3000 W heating element, so mornings don’t have to involve arm-flapping impatience. The matte black finish gives it some minimal flair, and surprisingly the only plastic you touch is the inside (BPA-free), so nothing nasty gets into your tea. The design is sensibly thought-out: cordless pour-off from a 360° base, neat cord storage, auto shut-off, boil-dry protection, and a Strix thermostat—basically built like a tank for daily use. The removable scale filter is a small win if you’re not into mineral gunk. User feedback echoes what you’d expect—mostly “good value” and “quiet enough”—but with a couple of gripes about boil speed or lid quirks. Still, most folks genuinely love it. Bottom line: You’re getting a workhorse kettle that doesn’t pretend to be fancy, looks decent enough on your countertop, and won’t destroy your budget. A solid buy.

Reasonably quiet boil and quick No bad plastic taste as is made of glass Nice blue light indicator Fairly priced

Lovely kettle. Love the blue light feature. Such good value for money. Looks really with my black kitchen appliances. It’s not loud at all. Really pleased.

I am very happy with this kettle. It looks and feels like an expensive one but for a really good price. It is quiet, does not leak when pouring, It is so helpful to see exactly how much water is in it. The top opener feels sturdy and well made. Well worth the money.

Great item. Very stylish design and heats the water up fast.

This kettle is stylish to look at, and quiet in operation. I like the fact the water temperature can be selected. I’d give it 5* if only it didn’t have one quite bad design fault: the water-level is very difficult to see: the window section is right behind the handle, and since it’s not back-lit it’s pretty well invisible. Shame - a window on the side would have been so much more functional.
