Since you are buying a matching set, you may also want to consider the style, design, and colour of the kettle and the toaster. Would you prefer appliances with a modern or retro style? If you like a classic look, maybe a white kettle and toaster set is just the thing. Or, maybe kettle and toaster sets with a textured design speak to you? The best kettle and toaster sets focus on style, so it should be easy to find a set you like. Materials

Each toaster and kettle set undergoes real-world testing in a typical domestic setting, taking into consideration their usability, convenience, capacity and how easy they are to maintain and keep clean. The kettle’s weight when empty and full, is also noted.The most common materials used to construct toasters and kettles alike are plastic and stainless steel. While a stainless steel exterior and parts will be the most durable option, a plastic exterior will often get the job done without noticeable differences. However, over time and depending on the colour, plastic exteriors may start to discolour and show wear and tear more obviously than their stainless steel counterparts. Power 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. 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 We think the best kettle and toaster set is the Russell Hobbs Inspire, and not just because of its stylish design that’s available in several colour options. We love its four-slice toaster containing wide slotsand a convenient Lift and Lookfeature. We also appreciate the kettle that features rapid boiling capability and a perfect pour spout to make it easy to use.

For kettles, we time how long it takes to boil a full kettle of cold water from the tap, as well as 1l for comparative purposes. Each litre of water was measured using the same jug, as it’s not uncommon for litre markings on a kettle to be incorrect or unavailable.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.
