Kent Cool Touch Electric Kettle
₹2,299
Kent's Cool Touch is a safe, capacity-focused pure kettle. The 1.8L capacity is the largest in the budget-mid segment of this catalog. 'Cool touch' is plastic-over-steel exterior — useful for households with children but not vacuum insulation. Kent's service network is the standout advantage. At ₹2,299, it's positioned in the awkward middle — pricier than basic kettles, but missing the temperature control that smart alternatives offer ₹1,000 more.

Who is this kettle best for?
What matters in daily use
- boil speed: 1500W on 1.8L is moderate speed; quicker than 1350W competitors but slower than 1800W Xiaomi
- build quality: Plastic-over-steel double-layer; well-built but not vacuum-grade
- auto shut off: Reliable Kent thermostat; service support if it fails
- capacity: 1.8L is the largest pure kettle in this catalog — serves 7-8 cups easily
- cordless design: Standard 360° swivel base
- ease of cleaning: Wide-mouth opening; concealed element reduces scale buildup
- energy efficiency: No insulation means water cools quickly after boiling
- noise level: Standard boiling noise; not particularly quiet
- value for money: Larger capacity vs Prestige PKOSS (1.5L for ₹849) justifies premium, but ₹2,299 is awkwardly positioned
