Electric Kettle

Choose an electric kettle by capacity first, then by power and material. The kettles here are Dolphy models in 600ml, 800ml, 1L and 1.2L, plus 1.7L kettles from Pronti and Morphy Richards, in stainless steel, a stainless steel and ABS mix and an ABS version. Power runs from 1000W on the compact Dolphy models up to 2200W on the 1.7L kettles, and the listings name homes, offices, motels and hotel rooms. Alongside the kettles are the kettle trays hotels use for an in-room tea and coffee station.

How to choose an electric kettle

Capacity. The kettles in the table run from 800ml and 1L through the Dolphy 1.2L models to the 1.7L Pronti and Morphy Richards kettles. Pick the size by how many mugs you fill at once.

Power. Most of the 800ml, 1L and 1.2L Dolphy listings give 1000 to 1200W, with 1350 to 1800W on several 1L and 1.2L models and 1850 to 2200W on one 1.0L Dolphy kettle and on both 1.7L kettles. A higher wattage heats the same water sooner.

Safety and handling. The Dolphy listings name automatic shut-off and a 360 degree swivel base, so the kettle lifts off from any side. Three models have a double-layer exterior so the outside stays cooler, and the Pronti, the Morphy Richards, the 800ml DKTL0010, the 1.0L DKTL0045 and the 1.2L double layer kettle list boil-dry protection. The two 1.7L kettles list a filter, removable on the Pronti and integrated on the Morphy Richards.

Kettle trays for guest rooms

The melamine, ABS and beech wood trays give the kettle, mugs and tea and coffee sachets a fixed place, and each lists a space for the kettle base. For more on the range, read our guide to Dolphy kettles. Guest-room kettle trays have a page of their own: hotel hospitality trays.
