Ranked #11 in Best Electric Kettles

Secura SWK-1701DA Electric Kettle

3.3

4 sources3 derived$36.51as of Aug 12

The Secura SWK-1701DA electric kettle features a large 1.7L capacity and double-wall construction that keeps the exterior cool, making it safe to handle. However, reviewers noted it's overpriced for its basic functionality and suffers from poor pouring characteristics. TechGearLab rated it poorly, calling it overpriced with unimpressive performance, while YouTube reviewer Alan found the design appealing but noted the price was only reasonable at $32. This kettle is best suited for those prioritizing safety features over value, but those seeking better value should look elsewhere.

— Stainless steel interior ensures no plastic touches water
— Double-wall construction keeps exterior cool to touch

Watch-outs

— Overpriced compared to similar models
— Difficult to pour with unbalanced design

How they stack up

All-Clad Stainless Steel Electric Kettle

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.

Secura SWK-1701DA Electric Kettle

The Secura SWK-1701DA Electric Kettle offers a large 1.7L capacity and double-wall construction like the Cosori Glass GK172-CO, but lacks the temperature control features of the Oxo Variable Temperature Electric Kettle and Fellow Stagg EKG Pro. Unlike the Fellow Clyde which has a more balanced design and better pour, the Secura suffers from difficult pouring and is overpriced for its basic functionality.
