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.
Ranked by our review score, which is worked out from the specifications each maker publishes rather than from opinion, so you can open the arithmetic on any product page. Anything commercial is labelled and sits outside that order, and how we score explains what each criterion measures.
