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. COMPLETE YOUR KITCHEN » Haden’s Heritage collection also has a matching toaster.

We've tested many hundreds of kettles and toasters over the years, so we know a thing or two about how to sort the best from the rest. Our tests are independent and objective: we test each appliance to the same standard so it's easy to compare across different models. If you're not willing to settle for anything less than perfect performance (and why should you?), you may have to compromise a little on the aesthetics of your kettle and toaster. These tips will help you to achieve a colour-co-ordinated look without being tethered to the same manufacturer or range: The toaster comes in a two- or four-slice version, the latter of which we tested. Its wide slots, lift-and-look feature, defrost and reheat buttons make it ideal for any busy household, especially one where it’s out on display, so its elegant exterior can be properly appreciated. This modern jug kettle fits effortlessly into many kitchens, and the 360° swivel base ensures easy use for right and left-handed users
This set’s glossy faceted exterior with geometric shapes belies its modest price. Despite being one of the more affordable options in our roundup, it still has some premium features, such as a defrost option on the toaster and internal kettle illumination. STYLISH SIMPLICITY » Pretty and practical, what’s not to love? The conveniently cordless kettle has a BPA free lightweight stainless-steel body and 360° swivel base. The traditional design makes this kettle both easy to use and easy on the eye The kettle has a wider than usual spout but still pours smoothly. There’s also a clearly marked water window, showing the max and min fill, as well as cups from four to seven (not litres). Its water window lights up blue when it’s on, while a button on the lid flips it up for filling – good for those who sometimes mix up levers. It’s speedy, too: a litre of cold water took just two minutes and 12 seconds to boil. What could prove to be a problem is the kettle’s minimum fill – around 900ml – meaning that if you only want to make one or two small cups, you will always be boiling more than you need. 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.Sage by Heston Bluementhal (Breville) Tea Maker Kettle and Smart Toast 4-Slice Toaster– Contemporary
