Kettles are small, practical and economical - perfect for a quick cup of tea or coffee in the morning. We tested 13 models, including two hot water dispensers that dispense hot water at the touch of a button. Seven of the appliances allow you to select a specific temperature level...

Our test has shown that a good kettle doesn't have to be expensive to work reliably. The Philips HD9318/20 price tip impresses with its unbeatable value for money. With simple operation, well thought-out safety features and a relatively cool housing during operation, it offers everything a kettle needs for everyday use...

With a boiling time of 3:48 min (T v. 20 - 100°c), the Philips model is not as fast as the kettles listed above. On the other hand, it is nice that it only gets moderately warm on the outside: Only the housing gets warmer with peaks of 55.3 °C. Finally, the pouring behaviour is also very precise.
