Best electric kettles in Singapore

---

The sound of water rumbling with increasing intensity and the click at the end is familiar to every Singaporean – that’s our trusty electric kettles in action. Even as our kitchens get more advanced, most Singaporean families still swear by boiled water as it’s a sure way to kill bacteria. 

While the average kettle will suffice for basic water boiling, there are ones with features that cater to different lifestyles – whether you’re a busy student living alone or with a large family. We’ve narrowed down the 8 best electric kettles in Singapore that’ll zhng up your daily water boiling affair.  

Pro tip: If you’re looking to speed up the boiling, look for electric kettles with higher power. A general baseline is 1200W – which will take around 4 minutes to boil 1L of water.

Things to consider when buying an electric kettle

---

• Size & capacity: While most electric kettles hold about 1.7L (or roughly 12 cups) of water, smaller water kettles of around 1L capacity will likely suffice for smaller households, especially those looking to save space on their kitchen counter.

• Material used: Although plastic exteriors on a water kettle are generally safe, there are concerns about it being easier to scratch than their metallic counterparts. They are cheaper on average, though, and are comparatively better insulated, so you won’t burn your hand if you were to touch the kettle after boiling water.
• Power: The higher the wattage on your kettle, the faster it’ll boil water. On average, electric kettles in Singapore range around 1200-1900W. For reference, a 1500W kettle can bring 1L of water to a rolling boil in about 3-4 minutes.
• Miscellaneous features: Most kettles on this list come with auto shut-off once water boils, so you can be assured of that safety feature. You might want to look for other features like a digital display, for instance, which can help you boil water to a more precise temperature for a good cup of coffee or tea, or a wide lid for easier cleaning.
