Kettle in Matte Storm Blue

The most efficient type of kettle is typically an electric kettle with rapid boil technology, which heats water quickly, reducing energy consumption. Smeg kettles are designed with this in mind, making them both efficient and stylish.

In addition, we use stainless steel for our kettles as stainless steel has better heat retention, better odour and stain resistance, increased durability & longevity, and is easily recyclable - all of which offers significant advantages over cheaper, less environmentally friendly plastic kettles.

A cordless kettle is an electric kettle that sits on a separate base. The kettle itself can be lifted off the base without any cords attached, making it easier to pour and manoeuvre in your kitchen.

Smeg kettles come with a standard 2-year warranty, covering any manufacturing defects or issues under normal use.

To safely dispose of your old kettle, you can either take it to a local recycling centre or some local councils now collect them as part of your local waste collection service. Many retailers will also now accept(whether you purchased a replacement from them or not) old electrical appliances as part of the Electrical Retailer Take-Back scheme.

The KLF03 kettle has a powerful 3000W heating element and rapid boil technology which means a full kettle with 1.7 litres will boil in around 4-5 minutes. However, for smaller volumes of 1-2 cups, boiling temperature is typically reached in under 1 minute.

It depends on a number of factors such as how quickly water can be boiled, and the wattage. Contrary to what you may think, higher wattage appliances are often more energy efficient as they’re able to heat water faster, thus requiring less energy over the total heating duration.

Smeg’s 1.7L kettles have a power rating of 3000W. On average, boiling a full kettle (1.7 litres) uses about 0.1 kWh of energy, which equates to around 1.2 pence per use, depending on your local energy rates.

The Smeg KLF03 kettle holds 1.7 litres of water, which is enough to make several cups of tea or coffee at once.
