How To Choose The Best Kettle?
These days you can get a whole range of different kettles each offering different features and functionality.
Firstly you need to decide if you want a traditional non-electric kettle that is used on the stove for heating water. While much slower, it's more cost effective and if you live off-grid can help save electricity.
Another option is the modern electrical kettle that most Australian's have in their kitchens. You can choose from a wide variety of finishes including plastic, brushed stainless steel and toughened glass.
Another thing to consider is the speed of boiling and how fast you want your kettle to boil. There are fast and slow ones with faster burning more energy but can save up to 2 minutes on boiling wait times. The power of kettles usually ranges from 1.7kW to 3kW with most
There are fast and slow ones with faster burning more energy but can save up to 2 minutes on boiling wait times.
The power of kettles usually ranges from 1.7kW to 3kW with most kettles usually opting for 1.7kW but faster ones will likely be up to 3kW.
You'll also need to consider the noise with faster more powerful kettles usually giving off a louder noise. Do you need to be quiet such as an office or library? If so a 1.7kW kettle might be more suitable.
Most kettles are capable of holding 1.5 - 1.7 litres and can usually boil enough water for 6-7 cups at a time. We're assuming a standard cup which is 250ml. While 200ml isn't much different, 1.7L kettles tend to be larger and more bulky which isn't a good option for travelling or small homes.
How Can You Clean A Kettle?
Believe it or not, your kettle, just like everything else in your kitchen needs a clean every once in a while. Every time you boil the water, grime and limescale is slowly starting to build up inside your kettle.
Cleaning a kettle is easy and can be done within a few short steps:
- Buy kettle cleaning liquid and dilute with water and pour inside
- Boil the kettle as usual
- Leave solution to soak inside kettle
- Empty kettle and then rinse with cold water.
How Much Does It Cost to Boil a Kettle Australia?
You fill the kettle, flick it on and disappear for a few minutes to return to a jug of boiling water but have you ever wondered how much that just cost you on your electric bill?
Most people don't care how much it costs to boil a kettle while others are curious. An average 2000W 1.7L kettle costs on average 4.55c to operate. Assuming the average person for three boiled water uses per day for 7 days, that's 96 cents per week.
Over the course of a year that could equal to nearly $50.
Currently there aren't any energy efficient kettles so you might have to look at having less hot water, it it possible?

There are dozens of kettles out there and choosing the best on Australia has to offer can be complex. Fear not, we believe the Sunbeam Aspire is the #1 recommendation right now, combining features and affordability.
