Best Kettles Under $250

The best kettles under $250, ranked by our review scores. Enough money to expect published specifications, so this list is unforgiving about makers who do not give you any.

How this list is ordered

Ranked by arithmetic, not opinion. Every score is worked out from the specifications each maker publishes, so you can open the working on any product page. Anything commercial is labelled and sits outside that order, and how we score explains what each criterion measures.
