Sanford 1.7L Double-Layer Electric Kettle 1500W with #304 Steel and Cool-Touch Body - SF3364EK

The value option among the steel kettles, and it gives up very little. The Sanford SF3364EK holds 1.7 litres in #304 food-grade stainless steel with double-layer construction, so the outside stays far cooler than a single-wall kettle and there is no plastic taste in the water. It runs at 1500W — a little slower to boil than the 1800W models, which in practice means tens of seconds rather than minutes, and for most households that is not worth paying extra for. It is cordless on a 360° rotational base, lifting off and setting back from any direction. Tough, taste-neutral and quick enough: if you want the steel build and the cool-touch body without paying for the fastest boil, this is the one.

Specifications

Buying guide

Wattage differences between kettles matter less than people assume. Going from 1500W to 1800W saves tens of seconds on a full 1.7-litre boil — real, but rarely worth a price premium unless you are boiling repeatedly through a busy morning in an office. What matters more is build: double-layer #304 steel gives you a cool exterior, no taste transfer and no staining, and this model has all of that. Choose the 1800W SF1869EK if speed genuinely matters to you, or the triple-layer SF1868EK if children may touch it. As with all steel kettles you cannot see the water level, so check through the lid rather than overfilling, and descale monthly or every other month with weak vinegar, boiled and rinsed thoroughly. Never boil below the minimum mark, and dry the base contacts if they get wet.

How it compares

Against the 1800W SF1869EK, that boils faster with identical double-layer construction. Compared with the triple-layer SF1868EK, that runs cooler outside and holds heat longer. Against the glass kettles, those show water level and scale but get hot outside and are more fragile. Against a plastic kettle, no taste and a longer life. Against a stovetop kettle, faster and it shuts itself off.
