An electric kettle is a must for anyone who enjoys tea, coffee or simply likes to boil water quickly and efficiently. The first time I witnessed my Australian wife quickly boil water in a kettle, then transfer it to a pot to make pasta, my mind was blown. A good electric kettle can make life infinitely easier, and as a bonus, they’re usually aesthetically pleasing. They’re obviously great for coffee and tea, but I also like to use them while heating water for oatmeal, instant soup or mac and cheese and more. This way, there’s one less pot to clean! You could also keep one in your bedroom or office to make life even easier. It doesn’t get more convenient than that. Below, I’ve rounded up 14 electric kettles that work fast and look good while doing it. They include options at a range of price points so you can find the one that best fits your budget and home decor style. If you’re going to have a cooking device out on your countertop at all times, it should match your personal style. Take a look and snag one of these kitchen must-haves for yourself or a loved one.

It heats quickly and there are no plastic bits anywhere inside that come in contact with the hot water. That’s surprisingly difficult to find. It heats up the water quickly and is easy to keep clean. The lid can get a little hot, but it’s easy to avoid by just holding the handle when you use it. It looks nice on the counter. It is, of course, versatile, as it can be used by the coffee drinkers, the tea, drinkers, and the ones who want to make convenience foods. It’s an absolute work horse and it’s cute. And I just can’t say enough about how happy I am with the design and that there aren’t any plastic bits on the inside.
