That is more to the best kettle than just warming water, though, and the Best Housekeeping institute has tried an extensive range of models to find the best on the market.

Smart Specs Breville Purple Kettle
Some kettles have extra bright specs, such as permitting you to set the kettle to boil from your phone using an app or checking the water temperature.
Other smart specs contain pre-programmed temperature keys for different warm drinks and a keep hot setting to retain the water temperature for a certain amount of time.
Weight
For every millilitre of water you include in your kettle, and an extra gram is formed to its total weight, meaning they can get pretty heavy.
If lifting may be a problem, look for models that weigh no more than a kilogram when empty.

Filters
Most kettles have washable, removable and anti-scale water filters that sit at the base of the spout.
These collect pieces of limescale from the water to stop them from being poured into your drink, and they prevent scum from forming on the surface.
