Salter COMBO-7999 Elder Kettle and Toaster Set, 1.7L Electric Jug Kettle with Swivel Base, 2-Slice Compact Toaster with 6 Levels of Variable Browning Control and Removable Crumb Tray, Kettle, Teal

Product Information

The kettle has a wider than usual spout but still pours smoothly. There’s also a clearly marked water window, showing the max and min fill, as well as cups from four to seven (not litres). Its water window lights up blue when it’s on, while a button on the lid flips it up for filling – good for those who sometimes mix up levers. It’s speedy, too: a litre of cold water took just two minutes and 12 seconds to boil. What could prove to be a problem is the kettle’s minimum fill – around 900ml – meaning that if you only want to make one or two small cups, you will always be boiling more than you need. Ensuring simple maintenance, the toaster has a removable crumb tray, while the kettle is completed with a removable limescale filter Ideal for updating your kitchen or gifting a new homeowner, this set from Salter includes a stylish teal kettle and 2 slot toaster Each toaster and kettle set undergoes real-world testing in a typical domestic setting, taking into consideration their usability, convenience, capacity and how easy they are to maintain and keep clean. The kettle’s weight when empty and full, is also noted.

The best toaster and kettle sets you can buy in 2023

To make it easy to choose, we group the kettle and toaster sets into the following catergories: retro, modern and contemporary. We test each kettle and toaster individually, even if they’re part of a matching set. We’ve discovered that more often than not, one appliance is far better than the other, or occasionally, they’re both terrible. Head to our round-up of the best kettles to see some of the highest-scoring models we've tested. Tips on mixing and matching kitchen appliances This modern jug kettle fits effortlessly into many kitchens, and the 360° swivel base ensures easy use for right and left-handed users We've tested many hundreds of kettles and toasters over the years, so we know a thing or two about how to sort the best from the rest. Our tests are independent and objective: we test each appliance to the same standard so it's easy to compare across different models.

Swan Tribeca 1.8L Pyramid Kettle and 2-Slice Toaster: Best kettle and toaster set for compact kitchens Think about where you place your appliances on your kitchen worktops: If they’re not right next to each other, you’ll be able to get away with models in slightly different shades of the same colour rather than exact matches. This kettle and 2 slice toaster set from the Salter Elder range fits effortlessly into any kitchen and is ideal for new homeowners or those wanting to refresh their kitchen appliances. With 3 kW of power for rapid boil and a 1.7 L capacity, this kettle is ideal for busy families allowing hot drinks within minutes, while the toaster is complete with 6 levels of browning plus defrost, reheat and cancel functions, and easily makes your perfect piece of toast so you can start your day the right way. Boasting modern wooden accents, this kettle and toaster set from Salter’s Elder range adds a touch of style to any kitchen worktopNext, consider the features of both appliances and their capacity. Make sure they’re both a suitable size for daily use – such as a four-slice toaster instead of a two-slice in larger households – and include the functionality you need, such as easy pouring from a kettle, and a defrost option if you often make toast straight from the freezer. If one appliance fits the bill but the other one doesn’t, it may be worth looking at a different range. Don’t buy both just because they match; consider each appliance carefully to make sure it suits your needs, or you may end up replacing one of them further down the line. How much should I spend on a toaster and kettle set? STYLISH SIMPLICITY » Pretty and practical, what’s not to love? The conveniently cordless kettle has a BPA free lightweight stainless-steel body and 360° swivel base. The traditional design makes this kettle both easy to use and easy on the eye For kettles, we time how long it takes to boil a full kettle of cold water from the tap, as well as 1l for comparative purposes. Each litre of water was measured using the same jug, as it’s not uncommon for litre markings on a kettle to be incorrect or unavailable. The toaster comes in a two- or four-slice version, the latter of which we tested. Its wide slots, lift-and-look feature, defrost and reheat buttons make it ideal for any busy household, especially one where it’s out on display, so its elegant exterior can be properly appreciated.
