Breville’s Edge Kettle is a combination of efficiency and style. Ingeniously designed, its water indicator transitions from white to red upon boiling and remains so until the temperature dips below 80 degrees Celsius. This offers a visible cue for reheating requirements. Crafted from durable brushed stainless steel, this kettle is excellent value.

Sleek and modern in design, this Breville Edge Kettle has earned an overall rating of 4.2/5 stars from reviews on Amazon. It takes approximately three minutes for a full kettle to boil - and even less for smaller amounts. How cool is that? We love that it produces little steam - ideal for use under kitchen cupboards. Not only do customers love the comfy, light and well-balanced build, but also the Still Hot Illumination helps stop any unnecessary reboiling - so, it saves you some money.

As for negatives, some report that the kettle has no LED indicator - they're not sure if the kettle is boiling, besides the boiling sound. Others point out it's a little expensive for a kettle that lacks advanced features. A few customers agree that the level markings are hard to read and that the brushed surface is prone to smudges and fingerprints.

This Sage Smart Kettle isn't necessarily smart in the conventional way but refers to the temperature control that brings out the best in green, white, or oolong teas. The kettle features five preset temperatures and a maintain-heat function for 20 uninterrupted minutes. Its user-friendly design showcases a prominent, illuminated start/cancel button and a detachable limescale-catching filter.

Our review: "If you are a really particular tea or coffee drinker this is the kettle to go for. Being metal it naturally keeps water warmer for longer. Sage's Smart Kettle has been developed with Heston Blumenthal with the USP of getting the maximum flavour from tea and coffee by adding water that's the optimum temperature to release tasting notes and aromas. And it's true - coffee does have more flavour when boiled at 90 degrees. Also, green tea tastes delicious, boiled at 80 degrees, allowing the delicate flavour of the leaves and jasmine to shine through.

"It's a smart-looking kettle too, made of brushed stainless steel. Neat and compact, unlike the Zwilling Enfinigy Glass Kettle which has a deeper base. The ergonomic handle stays cool and the soft top lid opens gently to prevent splashing. There are dual water level indicator windows, so you can see the water level if you're using it left or right-handed. It stands steady and securely on its power base, the button controls are easy to use and there's an audible beep when the kettle's boiled. Overall, the product feels very well made. The spout is over large but that has benefits as it gives an even pour. It boils fast, just a tad noisy, but no biggie.

"Finally, I loved the keep warm feature. My freshly boiled water stayed at a constant temperature, while I prepared my cast iron teapot and spooned green tea leaves in. I loved the ritual and thoroughly enjoyed savouring this on a sunny morning by my parent's fish pond with the flag irises in full flower."

Compact yet efficient, the Quest Kettle is ideal for individual users or smaller households. Despite its lightweight design (790g), it boasts features like a water-level display and a pivoting lid.

With a respectable 4.2/5 star rating, this Quest 35039 Kettle is our budget pick. Compact and space-saving, this kettle is ideal for small kitchens, caravans, motorhomes, students, and travel use.

We love the simple and functional design - with a handy water level indicator, power light and filter for hard water areas. It's good quality, affordable and great for trips and small households.

As for negatives, some customers are unhappy with how long it takes to boil and found the capacity smaller than anticipated, though it still holds about three mugs of water. And, the base is not 360° - so the kettle must be placed down at a specific angle which can be fiddly and not so great for left-handed folks.

Overall, a sleek and modern pick that will save on bills and the environment.
