Product Information

And it’s solidly made, although as a result it weighs 1.3kg (jug only) so it’s fairly heavy in the hand. The Classic kettle can be paired perfectly with the accompanying toaster for a truly put together look. The Classic Toaster from Dualit is a Combi with three slots, sure to be a timesaver on rushed mornings. The striking look in your kitchen is only matched by the performance of this kettle. With the Pure Pour spout, there's no water dripping out of the kettle on to your worktops. However, there are some down points to remember. As the casing is stainless steel, while it may look great it does get incredibly hot to the touch once boiled. It has also been noted that the kettle takes quite a while to boil, taking almost four minutes with a full load. Dualit Kitchen Appliances UK Filling the Dualit isn’t a great experience. As mentioned above, the spout is small but lifting the lid is a faff.

Out of the nearly 20 kettles she tested in one day (there was a lot of tea), these were the 10 that made the final cut. Her favourite was the KitchenAid Temperature Control Kettle, which has the sleekest look and features out there. FAQs When's the best time to buy a kettle? There’s a water level indicator on each side – one in litres, the other in cups. And the limescale filter is made from fine-cut metal rather than a mesh, making it much more durable than most.For one, the toaster is made in Britain, one of the very few small electric appliances that still are, so there are fewer airmiles. But most crucially they are both built to be repaired which is absolutely essential to prevent waste. Features-wise it’s a straightforward kettle though, with no choice of water temperature or keep warm function. Dualit Classic Kettle – What’s it like to use?

If you look, you can even see that the toaster is put together with a regular Philips-head screw whereas most other toasters are designed so you can’t get into them to fix them safely. This is what commitment to the environment looks like in practice. The Dualit also boasts a repairable element, which means that it could last a lifetime with new elements from time to time, rather than wastefully scrapping it after a few years as people do with other kettles when they fail. The Aarke Kettle is an investment, but, just like all Aarke products, it’s beautifully designed. Its seamless stainless steel body will create a stylish focal point on a countertop, and its slim build and small footprint mean it’s a useful addition to a smaller kitchen.For the price we also weren’t fans of the lid. You open it manually by finger-pulling the loop handle on the top. It’s built to last, sure, but it’s hard to open and is certainly no fun to open when hot. Top of our must-have list is that it’s easy is it to hold, fill and pour. If you often refill a kettle as soon as it has boiled, choose one with a flip-top lid you don’t have to take off manually. This is really important to avoid the risk of scalding yourself on steam when you open it. The control is a simple switch near the base with a red light that comes on to indicate that it’s heating up.

Dualit have very cleverly created a timeless design that manages to look great in a traditional or modern kitchen. The key is the quality. You can tell by looking at the products that they are beautifully and solidly built with no faddy gizmos interfering with the practical design. These products are clearly designed to do one job and do it exceptionally well and that simplicity will always be in style.' We’d definitely suggest a cordless model on 360˚ swivel base, for ease of use. A cord store will keep things tidy on a worktop, and an easy-to-view water indicator is handy. The idea is probably that you should fill the kettle via the spout instead, but the spout is fairly small so using the lid would have been easier. We didn’t notice the kettle being unusually quiet, despite it boasting the Quiet Mark, but it certainly wasn’t especially loud.If the element of either the kettle or the toaster goes for example (which is the most regular thing to break), it can be easily replaced rather than having to replace the whole thing.' Finally there's the Vario, which has a red switch to select the number of slots you want to control. Simply press the lever on the base to switch between heat settings and a digital beep will alert you when the temperature is reached and the kettle will automatically shut off. (A long press of the base lever also turns off the beep if you prefer to start your mornings in silence).
