Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to boil water in an entry-level electric kettle?
Most entry-level kettles can boil a full capacity of water in 4-7 minutes, depending on the wattage and amount of water. This is typically 2-3 times faster than stovetop methods.
Are plastic kettles safe for drinking water?
Look for kettles marked as BPA-free and made from food-grade plastic. While generally safe, some users prefer stainless steel models to avoid any plastic taste or concerns about heating plastic materials.
How much should I expect to spend on a basic electric kettle?
Entry-level electric kettles typically range from $15-40, with most reliable options falling in the $20-30 range. Extremely cheap models under $15 may lack important safety features or durability.
Do I need any special electrical requirements?
Standard electric kettles plug into regular household outlets and don't require special wiring. However, they do draw significant power when heating, so avoid using extension cords and don't operate other high-wattage appliances on the same circuit simultaneously.
