Score: 85/100Rankings
The Breville BKE820XL IQ Kettle offers precise temperature control with five presets, a 20-minute keep-warm function and a 1500W heating element for rapid boiling. It lacks an audible alarm and the jug is not truly cordless, which may limit convenience for some users. Best suited for tea and coffee enthusiasts who prioritize temperature accuracy and safety features.
The Ninja KT200 is a 1.7-liter electric kettle that boils a cup of water in about 90 seconds and offers seven temperature presets with a 30-minute hold feature. Its larger footprint, short cord, and occasional temperature variance can be drawbacks for tight spaces. Ideal for families or offices that need fast, precise boiling for multiple beverages.
