The included kettle is powerful for fast boiling and has a 1.7-litre capacity. We love its easy pour spout and the large illuminated water level window for easy viewing. The limescale filter and lid are both detachable, too. With all of these features combined, it could be the best retro kettle on our list.

A stainless steel construction boasts durability and a versatile and timeless aesthetic. For these reasons, we chose the Russell Hobbs Futura stainless steel kettle and toaster set as one of our favourites. This set comes with a four-slice toaster which is great for households with more than one or two people. It has variable browning control, frozen, cancel, and reheat settings for optimal control. It even has a removable crumb tray. The coordinating toaster has a high lift function to help prevent burnt fingers and even a reheat button, which is a useful extra on an affordable model such as this. Homemade bread fitted in the slots comfortably, even though they’re not the widest, and toast emerged evenly done, with only slight singeing at one corner.

Easy pouring and 3000W power allow you to rapidly boil and use this kettle with ease. It has a 1.7-litre capacity and a large water gauge viewing window located on the side for a clear view. Uniquely, it also features Quiet Boil technologyto prevent disturbing sleeping housemates.

Fortunately, it’s not a case of style over substance. The kettle boiled a litre of cold water in two minutes and 20 seconds and was easy to lift and pour from. Filling was less straightforward – there aren’t any markings on the water window and there’s only a max marker inside, meaning you may end up boiling more water than you need each time. However, we did like the discreet light on the lever and the kettle’s good build quality overall. Our Kettle and Toaster Set Collection offers a seamless combination of practicality and style, ensuring your kitchen becomes the heart of your home. Whether you are starting your day with a cup of tea or indulging in a delicious slice of toast, these appliances will deliver exceptional performance and elevate your culinary experience.You also may want to look for temperature controls on a kettle, but they will generally heat water until it starts to boil rapidly and then automatically shut off. Other advanced features to consider on the best kettle include kettle light indicators, a removablelimescalefilter, and safety features such as boil dry protection and an automatic shutoff. Boil dry protection enables a kettle to cut off when no boiling water is present. This helps prevent damage to the device and possible firesas well. Kettle Capacity The retro-styled two-slice toaster is equipped with high lift bread slots, non-slip feet, a removable tray for crumbs, and integrated cord storage. To help you achieve perfectly toasted bread, it has a variable browning control, cancel, reheat, and defrost functions. The best kettle and toaster sets add a touch of style to your kitchen and help to create a more streamlined aesthetic overall. Purchasing these appliances in the same style can often achieve the same effect, but a matching set goes a long way in complementing your kitchen’s interior design. While we think the water level window could be better placed, and you need to use the left side of the toaster for the right to function, we still think it could make an excellent addition to your home.
