Capacity (L)
How much water the kettle can hold.
Warranty (years)
Shop Ethical rating
Shop Ethical rates the environmental and social impact of the company (not the product) using independent sources. This rating is not included in our total score. The rating ranks from A (highest) to F (lowest); N/A means there is no rating for that company.
Minimum water level (L)
The minimum level of water required for operation.
Weight (kg)
Weight of kettle when empty.
Footprint (cm)
How wide the kettle's base is.
Wattage (W)
Manufacturer's stated wattage.
Lid type
Removable or hinged.
Material
The main material of the kettle. Some stainless steel models are coated and may come in different colours or finishes.
Availability
A Similar model is identical in most aspects except for a few. This means that a majority of its test results are identical so you can reasonably expect to get the same results from the model we tested, but for those aspects which aren't identical, we'll note these as "Not Tested" in the Compare tables.
A Tested model refers to a model that is still current and available in the Australian market. You should be able to order this model through your local retailer, or find it online.
These models can't be found in retailers or online or are no longer manufactured. You may still find them on second-hand websites, or in second-hand dealers. Test methods may change over time, so criteria which can't be directly compared will contain an N/A.
An Identical model is exactly that. Performance characteristics will be identical and the only difference will be something trivial such as colour, which won't have an impact on performance.
These are models we haven't yet tested but that are available.
