Best Electric Kettle 1.5 Litre in India

Start with power. The Pigeon and Lifelong kettles list the higher rating, while Prestige and Borosil list a lower one. Wonderchef states no power. A higher rating points to faster heating, but none of the makers gives boil times here.

Next, look at protection. Prestige and Borosil both state boil-dry protection. The other three pages do not mention it, so check the retailer listing before you buy.

Warranty is the third check. Borosil offers two years. Prestige, Pigeon and Wonderchef offer one year each. Lifelong states none. Read the terms, since makers often limit a warranty to manufacturing defects.

Material and lid design come next. Prestige pairs a steel lid with a single-touch lock. Wonderchef says the stainless steel inner body helps maintain hygiene and describes a safety locking lid that stops dripping. Pigeon and Lifelong list a stainless steel body, while Borosil does not name its body material but lists a press-button lid. Pigeon sits on a 360-degree cordless power base.

Lifelong names noodles, soup and tea as its intended uses. Wonderchef adds a pilot light and a locking lid. None of the makers states a boil time, so the choice rests on features and the warranty you want.

Then decide whether you want settings. Only Borosil lists presets and keep-warm.
