Electric Kettles

How to choose an electric kettle

Capacity and power

A 1.7 L kettle is enough for one or two people; a 1.8–2 L kettle is handier for a family or an office. A more powerful kettle (2000–2200 W) boils slightly faster, but even a 1500–1800 W kettle boils a full load in a few minutes. Boil only as much water as you need – it saves both time and electricity.

Which material is best?

• Double-wall – the outer body stays nearly cool, so it's safer with children around. Our best-selling FIT2 kettles are this type: the YD-1830 (1.8 L, 1800 W), YD-1831 (1.7 L, 1500 W) and YD-2035 (2 L, 1800 W, 304 stainless steel interior).
• Stainless steel – durable and simple, but the body gets hot while boiling.
• Glass – you can see the water and any limescale, and the blue light (on some models) shows the kettle is on. The body gets hot while boiling.

When do you need temperature control?

Green and white teas are often best brewed with water at 70–80 °C rather than boiling, so they don't turn bitter. Our glass kettle with temperature control has 70, 80, 90 and 100 °C settings and a keep-warm function.

Safety and convenience

• Auto shut-off when the water boils; FIT2 kettles also have boil-dry protection.
• Concealed heating element – a flat base is easier to descale.
• 360° base – put the kettle down from any side.
• Limescale filter (on our glass kettles) keeps deposits out of your cup.

In short: which one to choose?

• Families with children – a double-wall FIT2 kettle.
• Tea lovers – a glass kettle with temperature control.
• A large family or office – FIT2 YD-2035 (2 L).

Descale your kettle regularly as the manual describes – it will boil faster and last longer. For coffee, take a look at our coffee machines. You can see our kettles at the FIT2 store in Vilnius Outlet (Vytauto Pociūno g. 8, 2nd floor).
