What the testers found
Reviewed's Best Overall: "This kettle may not look like anything special, but it does its job exceptionally well, and at a very fair price for what it offers." It has six preset temperatures to the Breville's five and a 30-minute keep-warm mode, and Reviewed says it carries a three-year warranty. TechGearLab calls it "A quick-pouring kettle with a large capacity, a variety of presets, and a useful memory feature"; its cons there: "Small opening for filling, difficult to tell if keep warm button is on." Like the Breville, it's a pitcher-style kettle, and TechGearLab rated both poorly for precision pouring (4.0 and 3.0 of 10).
