Super fast boiling

Our standard and variable kettles are designed for rapid boiling with a powerful 3000W. The ability to quickly heat water makes them perfect for preparing a quick cup of tea or instant soups and noodles.

Variable temperature control

Smeg's variable temperature kettle offers seven temperature levels ranging between 50°C to 100°C. This allows you to choose specific temperature levels for different types of beverages, such as green tea, black tea, or coffee.

360-degree swivel base

Smeg kettles all feature a 360-degree swivel base. This design element makes it easy to lift the kettle from any angle, providing convenience and flexibility for both right and left-handed users. There are also non-slip feet for extra support.

FAQ's

Our range of electric kettles include cordless, energy-efficient, and variable temperature models to perfectly suit your needs. Whether you're preparing a quick cup of tea or any other hot beverages, our kettles feature rapid boil technology to save you time. In addition, you’ll find a range of matching toasters, citrus juicers, coffee machines, and more; all crafted in Smeg's iconic retro 50's styling.

What is the most efficient type of kettle?

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.

How many litres does a kettle hold?

This really depends on whether you are looking for a kettle for day to day usage, or a small travel kettle. Smeg kettles generally hold around 1.7 litres of water, which is enough to make several cups of tea or coffee at once. However, we also have a smaller 0.8l mini kettle which is perfect for when you regularly just boil a smaller volume of water.

What is a cordless kettle?

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.

How much energy does a kettle use?

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.

How long do Smeg kettles take to boil?

Again this depends on a number of factors. For example, a variable temperature kettle may never actually “boil” as if you’re heating water for a green tea or delicate white tea, you may only want to set it to 50°C. The volume of water boil also makes a significant difference, as boiling water for just 1-2 cups can typically be achieved in under 1 minute.

Smeg kettles typically take around 4-5 minutes to boil a full 1.7-litre kettle, thanks to our powerful 3000W heating element and rapid boil technology.

How long is the warranty on Smeg kettles?

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

How to safely dispose of your old kettle?

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.
