Haden Dorset 1.7 Liter Stainless Steel Electric Kettle, Hot Water Kettle with 360-Degree Base and Auto Shutoff, Rectory Red

If kettles had personalities, the Haden Dorset 1.7 Liter Stainless Steel Electric Kettle would be that reliable friend who shows up with tea and biscuits whenever you need them. Sleek, polished, and somehow both classic and quietly confident, this kettle turns the simple act of boiling water into a little moment of joy. Let’s talk design: the stainless steel body feels solid and elegant—like it belongs in a minimalist kitchen magazine spread. It’s the type of appliance that makes you want to boil water even when you don’t need to. The 1.7 liter capacity is generous without being unwieldy, perfect for families, guests, or that second cup you definitely deserve. Functionality is where it truly shines. The 360-degree base makes it effortlessly easy to lift and replace from any angle—ideal for left- or right-handed tea aficionados. The handle feels comfortable and balanced, so even a full kettle doesn’t turn into an upper-arm workout. And the quick boil time means you’re sipping your cuppa before your brain has fully registered, “I need caffeine.” Safety features like auto shut-off and boil-dry protection give peace of mind—no more pacing the kitchen wondering if you forgot to turn it off (you didn’t). If there’s one tiny gripe, it’s that once you’ve experienced this kettle, lesser kettles feel like they’re doing the job begrudgingly. But is that really a downside? Not in my book. In short: stylish, dependable, and user-friendly—the Haden Dorset kettle makes boiling water feel like an upgrade. Five stars from me and several happy mugs of tea!

I own two of these, one for home and one for a vacation house. I'm an avid tea lover and I've had several electric kettles through the years. This is by far my favorite. It is beautifully designed with thoughtful details and a sturdy feel. It holds the heat for a while. It looks classy on my counter. It brings me joy to use it as I heat water several times a day.

It’s not just a pretty face. It has the best capacity at 1.7 L. It boils no faster than my old kettle, but doesn’t take long. To fill it with water you have to remove the lid, which I wasn’t too sure about but now I find it easy. With the temperature dial at the front you can see at a glance how close it is to boiling or gauge when it is ready at a lower temp for tea. Lastly, the color is a beautiful glossy red. It adds a nice pop of color to my kitchen. It’s a happy color!

Exceptional quality. Capacity is great. I use the dial on the front to see how close I am to boiling more than I expected to. I just thought it was cool looking.Blessedly it does not beep when the water boils, just a click. If you remove the top after it boils to put in more water, the handle of the top is cool, but the edges of the top are quite hot. The instructions warn about this, and it’s quite easy to avoid, but be aware.

Love this. It works so fast and is very pretty

Stopped working after 10 months. Disappointed. Had a knockoff brand from amazon with a temperature dial like this that we used for years and replaced because it started to look old. We bought the matching black toaster and electric teapot. Now I don’t want another Haden but need something that matches the black and gold with a temperature dial.

This kettle is attractive but, more importantly, easy to use and very reliable. The handle is well placed and does not become to hot to handle when in use. The Haden brand is sturdy, fast and long lived as well.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Have bought two of these. Works fine, looks great, but the toggle switch is fragile, poorly made in plastic, and broke on both. Overpriced for the fragility.

Beautifully finished, and works very well. Complements the Dorset toaster perfectly. Works great, too!

The kettle looks great and love the styling of copper and black. Upon first use, I noticed the kettle takes longer to heat to a full boil, but the temperature reading helps to know when to take off for certain tea temperatures. I was a little worried that the kettle takes longer to boil for the coffee press, BUT, I was impressed how long the water stays hot in the kettle afterwards! You could drink a cup and come back for your second cup and the water is still hot! Love this. Kettle is well made, light and sits on the base easily, so after my second press this morning, I’m loving this kettle even more. Definitely going to buy more of these Haden black/copper series appliances to update the kitchen!

Looks great on the counter. Love the retro styling and the temperature gauge. Boils quickly, really holds the heat, and feels good to pour. The lid is a separate piece, which I like because the flip-up lid was the first thing to break on my previous electric kettle. Amazingly, the little handle on the lid does not get hot. Ordered a matching toaster. Very happy with the quality so far!

Très bon kettle, fonctionne très bien. Petit défaut esthétique: quelques bulles dans la peinture.

Works very well and love the colour. Quiet operation. Balances well when pouring water so steam doesn't go up over your hand while pouring. No temperature control, it boils or it doesn't, there's no temperature setting. There is a thermometer on the front though, so you can tell how hot the water is inside, saves having to reboil if you can see water is still hot enough for tea. Looks great on our counter.
