Here are the key things you must take into consideration while buying an electric kettle:

Know the capacity of the electric kettles depending on your boiling needs: Most of the electric kettles come with a 1 or 2-liter capacity. So, if you want 3 cups of boiling water, then 1-liter capacity can accommodate your need. However, if you frequently need to make beverages for multiple individuals, kettles with a larger capacity of 2 liters, would be ideal.

Check out the heating speed and power consumption: The heating speed of an electric kettle depends on its volume capacity and power consumption. For example, an electric kettle with 1litre capacity should be of 1500 watts to heat water in 3 – 4 minutes.

Durability depends on the material: Most of the electric kettles in India are made with stainless steel, glass, or plastic. While stainless steel is considered the most durable option as they are scratch and corrosion-proof, glass kettles provide an elegant aesthetic. You can also observe the boiling process in a glass kettle; however, they are prone to damage.

Safety features for a better user experience: You should also check for the safety features like the automatic shut-off feature which shuts off the appliance when it reaches the boiling point. Other important features include boil-dry protection and overheating protection, to prevent accidents and hazards.

Apart from these, some of the electric kettles also come with advanced features like water level indicators, temperature settings and more. The temperature control feature will let you set the desired boiling temperature for different beverages or purposes. This will also let you save power consumption as it will also affect the heating time.
