Electric Kettles
every electric kettle we track, gooseneck and standard spout, one row each. sort by temp control to separate the to-the-degree kettles from the boil-and-click ones, or by keep warm to find the kettles that will still be hot after you get distracted.
 Bodum Bistro Gooseneck Electric Water Kettle, 34 oz | 7.6 America's Test Kitchen's top boil-only gooseneck: quick, nimble spout and readable fill line, but no temperature control and spotty availability. | Gooseneck | 1 L | 1,200 W Bodum's US manual says 1200 W; the Amazon listing says 1500 W. | Boil only | 212 °F | 0 min |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 Bodum Melior Gooseneck Electric Water Kettle, 27 oz | 7.0 A well-loved, inexpensive boil-and-pour with a cork handle; slower and smaller than the Bistro, and nothing beyond on and off. | Gooseneck | 0.8 L | 1,000 W Bodum's US manual says 1000 W; one Amazon listing says 1500 W. | Boil only | 212 °F | 0 min |

 Brewista Artisan Gooseneck Variable Kettle, 1.0L | 6.9 Lab-recommended for its big capacity and to-the-degree touch screen, but owners report heating-element failures and testers found the waterline and pour speed hard to manage. | Gooseneck | 1 L | 1,000 W | 1° variable | 104 °F 104°F per US retailer preset lists; some non-US listings say 60°C. | 60 min |

 Fellow Stagg EKG Pro Electric Gooseneck Kettle | 9.2 The most refined pour and controls in the field, with a 104°F floor and hour-long hold, held back only by price and a thin review history for the Pro itself. | Gooseneck | 0.9 L | 1,200 W | 1° variable Fellow lists half-degree Fahrenheit increments. | 104 °F | 60 min Hold is selectable at 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes. |

 Hario V60 Buono Electric Power Kettle | 5.6 The iconic shape, but America's Test Kitchen found it slow with a shallow spout curve that spilled, and it offers nothing beyond a boil. | Gooseneck | 0.8 L | 1,000 W | Boil only | 212 °F | 0 min |
 OXO Brew Adjustable Temperature Electric Kettle, 1.75L | 7.3 A rare to-the-degree dial on a big standard kettle, though its 170°F floor limits tea range and owner ratings trail the Cuisinart and Cosori. | Standard | 1.75 L | 1,500 W | 1° variable | 170 °F Retailers list 170 to 212°F; one Amazon bullet says 104°F, which matches OXO's gooseneck instead. | 30 min |
 OXO Brew Adjustable Temperature Pour-Over Kettle | 8.9 Lab-verified accuracy within a degree and the fastest boil of any adjustable gooseneck tested, at well under flagship money; the screen showing target not actual is a quirk. | Gooseneck | 1 L OXO's manual describes the max line as about 32 oz; retailers and Coffee Review list 1 L. | 1,500 W | 1° variable | 104 °F | 30 min |
How the AI score works, and who wrote it
A language model rated these, not a test lab. Every score from 1 to 10 is an AI assessment of how good the product is against the other 15 in this comparison, formed from the specifications we verified plus the published lab reviews and owner reception found while researching each one. Nobody at Slopsheets listened to, wore or plugged in any of it.
It weighs the things a spec table cannot show: how a product is actually reviewed, how well the software works, build quality, and what you get for the money. That is deliberate. An earlier version of this column was pure arithmetic on the table and it ranked a bundle of cheap boxes above a class-leading single unit, because counting hardware is not the same as judging it.
Treat it as an informed starting point and read the sourced comparison, not as a verdict. The score is relative to this comparison only, so it means nothing across categories, and it carries no price, star rating or review count. Every specification behind it is sourced and checked; the score on top of them is opinion.
Frequently asked questions
What actually matters when choosing an electric kettle?
Three columns do most of the work: temperature control (if you brew tea or pour-over), keep-warm time (if you ever walk away), and capacity (if you fill a teapot or thermos). Spout type follows from how you brew.
Is wattage worth paying attention to?
Yes, more than most specs on the box. Higher wattage heats faster, and a 1500-watt kettle can boil the same water a couple of minutes sooner than a 1000-watt one. The trade-off is a bigger draw on a shared kitchen circuit.
Are presets as good as a to-the-degree dial?
For most tea and coffee, yes. Presets cluster around the temperatures people actually use. A to-the-degree dial matters if you follow precise pour-over recipes or like tuning brews by a degree or two.
Which kettle spec is mostly marketing?
Display precision. A screen that shows single degrees says nothing about how close the water really gets, and independent tests regularly find good kettles a few degrees off their display.
Does the lowest temperature setting matter?
Only for some uses. Settings below about 160°F are for delicate green teas, formula, or proofing yeast. Coffee brewing happens near the top of the range, so a coffee-only kettle loses nothing with a higher floor.
