Ranked #6 in Best Electric Kettles

Cuisinart Electric Kettle 6 Presets CPK-17P1

4.4

5 sources3 derived$99.95as of Aug 31

The Cuisinart CPK-17P1 PerfecTemp Cordless Electric Kettle has been Wirecutter's top pick since 2013 due to its reliable performance and user-friendly interface. It heats water quickly and accurately to six preset temperatures, with a 'keep warm' function that maintains temperature for 30 minutes. The kettle features a stainless steel construction with a cool-touch handle and a removable lime scale filter. While it lacks a digital display and precise temperature adjustments, its consistent performance and three-year warranty make it a solid choice for everyday use. Those seeking a sleeker design or ergonomic handle might consider the Breville IQ Kettle, but the Cuisinart remains the best all-around option.

Strengths

— Boils 1.7 liters of water in about seven minutes
— Accurate temperature control with six preset temperatures
— Includes a 'keep warm' function that maintains temperature for 30 minutes

Watch-outs

— No digital display or adjustable one-degree increments
— Narrow spout does not accommodate tea infusers

The All-Clad Stainless Steel Electric Kettle features an intuitive touchscreen display and 9 temperature settings, a feature not found in the Fellow Clyde which lacks variable temperature control. However, unlike the Fellow Stagg EKG Pro that offers precise temperature control to a single degree Fahrenheit, the All-Clad's 9 settings are not as precise and lacks the scheduling feature of the Cosori.
