Morphy Richards Jug Dimensions 108262 Cream Electric Kettle, Plastic, 3100 W, 1.5 liters

Product Information

It boils one cup of water in under 45 seconds, so it’s ideal for people who usually only make one hot drink at a time. If you’re just putting on the kettle for one cup of tea, it’s worth checking the minimum capacity your kettle can boil. It also includes several handy safety features, including an auto shut-off function and a boil-dry sensor. Unfortunately, the water gauge only goes down to 500ml, despite the minimum quantity being half that, and the outer casing can get quite hot, so you’ll need to pay attention when using it.

Note that its minimum capacity of 600ml means it can’t be used for boiling a single cup, making it better suited to medium to large households. Hearst UK is the trading name of the National Magazine Company Ltd, 30 Panton Street, Leicester Square, London, SW1Y 4AJ.

We like that it’s easy to fill through the spout, pours accurately with no splashing or spitting, and is lightweight – weighing just 681g when empty and 2. Blossom enjoys delving into the intricacies of products and refining testing protocols for hundreds of items.

It’s fast too – the minimum quantity of 250ml boils in under one minute and one litre boils in just over two. This modern Salter kettle stood out for its ease of use – it boasts a removable limescale filter, a swivel base and a boil-dry sensor. It's also worth checking the position and shape of the handle, which may affect the balance when pouring and filling. It boils enough for a large cup of tea in under fifty seconds and one litre in just over two minutes. Filling through the spout resulted in a little spilling and splashing so we’d recommend filling through the hole instead, and its exterior got quite hot during boiling, but those were our only niggles.Good Housekeeping participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may get paid commissions on editorially chosen products purchased through our links to retailer sites.
