How to choose
Pick the best stainless electric kettle for your counter
Every pick here holds 1.7 liters and runs at 1500 watts, so capacity and wattage will not separate them. Compare the interior instead: the COMFEE and Damsun kettles state 100% stainless steel on every surface that touches water, while the others state a stainless steel interior or exterior. Then compare lids and windows: the COMFEE lid opens to 35 and 70 degrees, the Damsun lid to 45 and 80 degrees, and the Breville adds dual water windows. Warranty terms also differ, with a limited 3-year warranty on the Cuisinart and 1-year warranties on the COMFEE, Hamilton Beach and Breville.
Boil speed and daily use
Boil figures differ even at the same wattage. The COMFEE boils 1.7 liters in about 3 to 6 minutes, and the Damsun reaches a 212-degree boil in 6 minutes. The Hamilton Beach boils 20% faster than a microwave, compared with a 1250W microwave boiling 28 oz of water. For daily use, look at the base and the handle: the Cuisinart and Breville kettles lift off 360-degree bases, the Cuisinart adds a stay-cool nonslip handle, and the Breville adds a soft grip handle with cord storage.
Shutoff, filters and cleaning
Auto shutoff and boil-dry protection appear on the COMFEE, Cuisinart, Damsun and Hamilton Beach kettles. The Cuisinart adds a removable scale filter, while the COMFEE lid lifts to 70 degrees and the Damsun lid opens to 80 degrees for filling and cleaning. The Breville dual windows show how much water is inside, so only the water needed gets heated. Compare the window and the lid opening before ordering, since those decide daily ease more than wattage does.
