Product Information

Our overall best kettle was the De'Longhi Ballerina Kettle, which we rate for its usability and temperature-control functions. The Dualit Architect kettle also wins our approval for its sturdy build and good looks, and the Russell Hobbs Emma Bridgewater Kettle is the quietest kettle we tested. Why do I need a kettle? All of the touch points are also well executed, from the comfortable handle that stays cool to the touch to the soft open lid and non-drip spout. It also comes with a polishing cloth included to buff away any fingerprints its stainless steel body might collect.This kettle also offers the ability to heat water to five different temperatures – 40, 75, 85, 95 and 100°C – which is great if you’re a coffee or herbal tea aficionado who knows the exact best degree centigrade for your brew.

And it’s solidly made, although as a result it weighs 1.3kg (jug only) so it’s fairly heavy in the hand. Out of the nearly 20 kettles she tested in one day (there was a lot of tea), these were the 10 that made the final cut. Her favourite was the KitchenAid Temperature Control Kettle, which has the sleekest look and features out there. FAQs When's the best time to buy a kettle? For the price we also weren’t fans of the lid. You open it manually by finger-pulling the loop handle on the top. It’s built to last, sure, but it’s hard to open and is certainly no fun to open when hot. We didn’t notice the kettle being unusually quiet, despite it boasting the Quiet Mark, but it certainly wasn’t especially loud.There's also the AWS, which is the one I tested. This is similar to the NewGen but it doesn't have the bagel setting. Dualit have very cleverly created a timeless design that manages to look great in a traditional or modern kitchen. The key is the quality. You can tell by looking at the products that they are beautifully and solidly built with no faddy gizmos interfering with the practical design. These products are clearly designed to do one job and do it exceptionally well and that simplicity will always be in style.'

Features-wise it’s a straightforward kettle though, with no choice of water temperature or keep warm function. Dualit Classic Kettle – What’s it like to use? We’d recommend saving money and getting the superb value double wall insulated Tefal Safe to Touch Kettle, or the mid-priced and beautifully designed Morphy Richards Prism Traditional Kettle. Or if you do want a big-budget kettle consider the Sage Smart Kettle which also offers a range of temperatures for perfect tea. Verdict The Classic kettle by Dualit is truly made to last in any kitchen. It's a striking addition to your countertop, with the stainless steel body that comes with a range of delightful finishes, from limestone to evergreen and many in between. The antii-wobble feet gives better improved stability in the countertop when it's boiling. The patented Whisper Boil method reduces the noise levels while boiling water. Seeing how much water is in the kettle, which has a 1.7 L capacity, is simple. There are two windows to see the water level, telling you the amount of water in cups and litres. These windows are both BPA free for even more safety assurance. Never fear if you accidentally boil the kettle with no water - the safety cut-off will trigger. Part of the Classic SeriesThe Classic kettle can be paired perfectly with the accompanying toaster for a truly put together look. The Classic Toaster from Dualit is a Combi with three slots, sure to be a timesaver on rushed mornings. The striking look in your kitchen is only matched by the performance of this kettle. With the Pure Pour spout, there's no water dripping out of the kettle on to your worktops. However, there are some down points to remember. As the casing is stainless steel, while it may look great it does get incredibly hot to the touch once boiled. It has also been noted that the kettle takes quite a while to boil, taking almost four minutes with a full load. Dualit Kitchen Appliances UK Filling the Dualit isn’t a great experience. As mentioned above, the spout is small but lifting the lid is a faff. The Dualit is unsurprisingly a well-built machine. It’s attractive in a polished chrome finish that somehow manages to repel fingerprints. If you look, you can even see that the toaster is put together with a regular Philips-head screw whereas most other toasters are designed so you can’t get into them to fix them safely. This is what commitment to the environment looks like in practice.
