How to choose the best Philips Kettle for your kitchen 

Step 1: Pick your use case first

1. Only tea/coffee for 1–2 people? A compact water kettle style (like 1.2L) keeps it simple.
   

2. Family, guests, or multiple refills daily? A 1.5L electric water kettle feels more effortless.
   

3. Reheat often? Go for the keep-warm variant so your tea kettle moments stay smooth.
   

Step 2: Choose the feel: cool-touch vs classic stainless steel

• Double-walled designs help with a cooler exterior touch and a more insulated feel.
  

• Stainless steel builds (including SS304) are commonly chosen by people who care about durability and long-term use.
  

Step 3: Check wattage for speed expectations

• Our range includes 1300 W options across multiple variants (steady, reliable boiling).
  

• If “fast boil” is your go-to, you can go for 1800 W for HD9314/90.
  

How to Use a Philips Electric Kettle

Using an electric kettle correctly helps maintain performance and safety.

1. Place the Kettle on a stable, flat surface
   

2. Fill water between the minimum and maximum level indicators
   

3. Close the lid securely
   

4. Switch on the appliance
   

5. Allow the water boiling kettle to auto shut off after boiling
   

6. Pour water carefully
   

Avoid overfilling to prevent spillage and reduce heating inefficiency.

Cleaning and Descaling a Kettle

Regular descaling helps maintain heating efficiency, especially in areas with hard water.

1. Fill the Kettle with white vinegar up to one-quarter of the maximum level
   

2. Add water up to the maximum mark
   

3. Heat the mixture and allow it to sit for approximately 30 minutes
   

4. Empty and rinse thoroughly
   

5. Repeat if scale buildup persists
   

Regular descaling supports consistent performance of the hot water kettle.

FAQs

1) Which type of kettle is the best?

The best kettle is the one that matches your daily pattern: 1.2L for quick personal use, 1.5L when you refill often, and a keep-warm electric water kettle if you like hot water ready through the day. 

2) Does an electric kettle save electricity?

An electric kettle is designed to heat water efficiently and quickly compared to many traditional methods, especially when you boil only what you need. The biggest “saver” is avoiding overfilling your water-boiling kettle.

3) Why do people use electric kettles?

Because an electric kettle is fast, convenient, and consistent. It’s the easiest way to get hot water for tea, coffee, and everyday cooking shortcuts, which is why the tea kettle has evolved into a daily essential.

4) Can I boil milk in an electric kettle?

We don’t recommend boiling milk in a standard kettle. Milk can froth over, burn onto the heating area, and make cleaning difficult. For milk, use the right appliance or cookware for that job.

5) Can we use an electric kettle daily?

Yes, you can use an electric kettle daily. For best performance, clean regularly and descale based on your water hardness so your hot water kettle continues to heat effectively.
