As stylish as it is functional, Dualit's Lite Kettle is an easy to use, upright kettle with a smooth, pouring action. With handy cup level and litre indicators you'll always boil just the right amount and the powerful 3kW element ensures it will boil quickly. The hinged easy-fill lid has a large heatproof knob with finger guard whilst the oversized spout ensures spills are a thing of the past.
Fast boiling - The compact Lite Kettle uses a powerful 3kW* element for a faster boiling time. The element is concealed in the base of the kettle, away from water contact to reduce limescale damage. The boil-dry safety feature stops the kettle boiling if it's empty.
Dual Windows - The BPA free viewing windows feature a cup level indicator on one side and the other side measures the water in litres. Fill the kettle with just the right amount of water you need to boil, down to just one cup, saving time, energy and water.
Easy, reliable pouring - The Lite Kettle is easy to fill, lift and pour. The spout on the Lite Kettle has been precision engineered with contours to ensure spills are a thing of the past. The handle is heatproof and easy to grip and the robustly engineered hinged lid opens fully

No frills. No gimmicks. No compromise. It must be Dualit. Dualit’s success lies in a single-minded vision for the company and its products which hasn’t changed since Max Gort-Barten started the company back in the 1940s. New products are designed and engineered against stringent quality criteria, occasionally re-engineered and often enhanced, then tested to destruction, before they earn a Dualit badge. And they can only keep that badge if all elements of the manufacturing process pass Dualit’s stringent quality control process.
