How to choose
Capacity and cups
Capacity sets how much water one boil gives. The COOKTRON and Laura Ashley hold 1.7 liters, with 8 cups for the COOKTRON and up to 7 cups for the Laura Ashley, while the Rasonic holds 1.8 liters. Compare the liter figure and the cup figure with how many cups you pour at once before you choose.
Quiet boil and power
Wattage sets how fast water heats, and the noise figure sets how loud the boil runs. All three kettles draw 1500 watts. The COOKTRON boils in 3 to 7 minutes at less than 30 dB, and the Rasonic runs a fast quiet boil. Compare wattage with the stated noise figure when quiet matters.
Gauges, filters and upkeep
A temperature gauge shows the water temperature at a glance, and a filter catches impurities for cleaner water. The Laura Ashley and the Rasonic have a temperature gauge, and both have a filter, while all three have a cordless 360° base. For upkeep, hand wash only.
