Best Value Kettles & Toasters in the UK (2026): 10 Real Listings Ranked by Rating per £

The ‘value score’ is calculated by dividing the product rating (out of 5) by its price (£). A higher value score indicates a better rating relative to the cost of the kettle or toaster. This allows you to compare products based on how well their quality aligns with their purchase price, providing a simple metric for assessing 'best value'.

Not necessarily. While the ‘Morphy Richards Equip Jug Kettle, 1.7L’ is currently the cheapest option at £23.99, its value score of 0.183 is lower than other products. A higher-priced product with a better rating and value score may represent a superior purchase for your money.

The ratings are based on the total number of customer reviews received for each product. The Russell Hobbs Textures Electric 1.7L Cordless Kettle has the highest rating (4.5/5) due to its significant volume of 4120 reviews, indicating widespread positive feedback from users. However, a high rating alone doesn’t guarantee ‘best value’, it needs to be considered alongside the price.

The Morphy Richards Equip Jug Kettle, 1.7L, 3kW Rapid Boil, Removable Limescale Filter, Stainless Steel, Red is currently recognised as the best value with a score of 0.183.

The Morphy Richards Equip Jug Kettle, 1.7L, 3kW Rapid Boil, Removable Limescale Filter, Stainless Steel, Red is the cheapest at £23.99.

The Russell Hobbs Textures Electric 1.7L Cordless Kettle, Fast Boil 3kW, Grey (21274) currently holds the highest rating of 4.5/5.

Yes, you can. The Swan SK31020N Brushed Stainless Steel Jug Kettle has a value score of 0.176 and a rating of 4.4/5. This places it slightly lower than the Russell Hobbs in terms of overall value due to its price (£24.99).

The Russell Hobbs Textures Electric 1.7L Cordless Kettle has a higher value score because of its cordless design and rapid boil capabilities. However, the Morphy Richards and Swan kettles offer similar functionality at a lower price point, so consider your priorities when choosing.

Products with more reviews (like the Russell Hobbs) benefit from a potentially more reliable rating, as a larger sample size provides greater confidence in the overall assessment. However, a product with fewer reviews but a higher rating might still represent excellent value if it has received overwhelmingly positive feedback.

The Morphy Richards kettle is the most affordable, offering a value score of 0.183. The Russell Hobbs has a higher rating (4.5/5) but a slightly lower value score (0.18), while the Swan kettle sits between these two with a value score of 0.176, reflecting its price point.
