Best Stainless Steel Electric Kettle in India

Decide on the size first. The range here runs from 1.2 litres to 1.5 litres. No maker gives a household size for any of them. For a bigger kettle, see the best electric kettle 1.5 litre page.

Then look at power. The listed figures run from 600 to 1500 watts. The Borosil Quick is at the low end, and Lifelong is at the top. Power is the maker's rating of the element.

Check the safety listings. Prestige lists shut-off and boil-dry protection. Milton and Lifelong list shut-off. Lifelong also lists overheat protection. Havells and Borosil do not state either cut-off.

Look at how the outside stays cool. Havells uses a double wall. Milton says the handle can be touched at once. Borosil lists a see-through glass lid and a concealed heating element.

Think about cleaning and filling. Havells and Milton both mention a wider mouth or a wide mouth with a hinged lid. Borosil lists a wide mouth as well. Prestige adds a single-touch lid lock.

Compare the warranty. Prestige, Milton and Borosil each give 1 year. Havells and Lifelong do not state one.
