Electric Kettles — Borosil, Philips, Milton, Cello & More in 600 ml to 2 Ltr

Buy Electric Kettles Online – Glass & Stainless Steel, All Sizes

An electric kettle is one of those appliances you use every single day without giving it much thought — until it stops working, or you upgrade to one that does the job noticeably faster and safer. Whether you're boiling water for the first cup of morning chai, making instant noodles in a hostel room, preparing a quick soup at the office, or heating water for a baby's feed — the right electric kettle should be fast, safe, and built to last. The electric kettles range at Girdhar Das & Sons brings together options from eight trusted brands — Borosil, Philips, Milton, SUNFLAME, Hawkins, INALSA, BALTRA, and CELLO — in capacities from a compact 500 ml all the way to a generous 2 litres, across glass and stainless steel body types. All products are available online with delivery across India.

The range spans a practical spread of sizes for different household needs. Compact models in the 500 ml to 800 ml range are well-suited for a single person, a hostel room, or a work desk where space is at a premium. Mid-range models between 1 litre and 1.5 litres are the most versatile and are ideal for couples or small families — enough for two to three cups of tea without the waste of boiling excess water. The 1.7 litre and 1.8 litre models are the most popular capacity for Indian households of three to four people, while the 2-litre options are suited to larger families or office use. Filter by brand or size on the left to narrow down to exactly what you need.

All kettles in this range come with the essential safety features that modern Indian households expect: auto shut-off when water reaches boiling point, dry-boil protection that cuts power when the kettle is switched on without water, and 360° rotating bases that allow the kettle to be lifted and placed from any angle without tangling the cord. Several models also feature concealed heating elements that keep the interior clean and free from limescale buildup — a significant advantage over older exposed-coil designs.

Glass vs Stainless Steel Kettles – Which Should You Choose?

Glass Body Kettles

Glass body electric kettles — like the Borosil Crystal and Borosil Cooltouch Glass range — are made with borosilicate glass, the same thermally stable material used in laboratory equipment and Borosil's own glassware. The primary advantage is visibility: you can see exactly how much water is in the kettle and watch it boil, which is satisfying and practically useful for judging when to add tea leaves or remove the kettle at a precise moment. Glass does not leach any flavour, taste, or odour into the water — making it particularly well-suited for green teas, herbal infusions, and filter coffee preparations where the purity of the water matters. The cool-touch exterior on Borosil glass kettles means the outer body stays safe to handle even when the water inside is boiling. A minor trade-off: glass kettles require slightly more care during handling.

Stainless Steel Body Kettles

Stainless steel electric kettles are the more robust everyday choice. They handle the rigours of daily use in a busy household kitchen better than glass, and are available in a wider range of capacities. The Borosil Cooltouch Stainless Steel range, the Philips HD series, Milton kettles, and SUNFLAME models all use food-grade stainless steel interiors that are free from BPA and other plasticiser concerns. Models with a double-wall cool-touch exterior — like several Borosil stainless steel kettles — keep the outer body safe to hold even at boiling temperatures, which is a practical feature in households with children. Stainless steel kettles also tend to retain heat slightly longer than glass models after boiling.

Brands in This Range

Borosil

Borosil is the dominant brand in this range, offering the widest selection across both glass and stainless steel body types. Key features across the Borosil kettle range include auto shut-off, dry-boil protection, concealed heating elements, 360° rotating cordless bases, and 1–2 year warranties with on-site service support. Borosil also offers a Multi Kettle range — a particularly useful product that includes attachment trays for boiling eggs, steaming idlis, making dhokla, and grilling small portions alongside the kettle function. For households looking for more than just a boiling appliance, the Borosil Multi Kettle is a genuinely versatile kitchen investment.

Philips

Philips brings the precision engineering and reliability of a global appliance brand to the electric kettle category. Their kettles — including the popular HD9316 (1.7 L, 1800W) — are built with food-grade stainless steel interiors, a UK STRIX thermostat for accurate temperature control, one-touch spring lid, auto shut-off, and a keep-warm function that maintains water temperature without reboiling. Philips kettles are backed by the brand's strong pan-India service network — 230+ service centres across the country — making after-sales support straightforward. A 2-year warranty is standard on most Philips kettle models.

Milton

Milton brings its kitchenware expertise to the electric kettle category with clean, no-fuss stainless steel models that balance performance with affordability. Milton kettles are a sensible choice for households that want a reliable everyday appliance without the premium pricing of Borosil or Philips, and are particularly popular as a first kettle purchase or as a second kettle for office or guest room use.

SUNFLAME, Hawkins, INALSA, BALTRA & CELLO

SUNFLAME is a well-known Indian appliance brand with a wide distribution and service network, making its kettles a solid everyday option for buyers who prioritise local serviceability. Hawkins — primarily known for pressure cookers and cookware — brings the brand's reputation for durable kitchen products to a focused selection of kettles. INALSA offers compact, budget-conscious models suited to hostel use or light daily use. BALTRA and CELLO round out the range with additional options across the mid-range capacity segment.

Choosing the Right Capacity

500 ml – 800 ml: Solo & Compact Use

These compact kettles are designed for a single person's daily needs — one to two cups of tea or coffee, a small cup of noodles, or a quick warm-water rinse. They heat up very fast given the small water volume and take up minimal counter or desk space. Ideal for hostel rooms, small home offices, and travel use.

1 Ltr – 1.5 Ltr: Couples & Small Households

The sweet spot for a household of two to three people. A 1.5-litre kettle can comfortably prepare two to three large cups of tea in a single boil, or provide enough hot water for a French press pot of coffee. The Borosil Cooltouch 1.5L and the Philips 1.5L stainless steel model are both strong choices at this capacity.

1.7 Ltr – 1.8 Ltr: Most Popular for Indian Families

The 1.7 to 1.8-litre range is the most commonly purchased kettle capacity in India — enough for a full round of chai for a family of four, or multiple uses throughout the morning without refilling repeatedly. The Philips HD9316 (1.7L), Borosil Crystal (1.8L), and SUNFLAME models in this size are all well-regarded options.

2 Ltr: Large Families & Office Use

A 2-litre kettle is the right choice for households of five or more, or for small office pantries where several people need hot water throughout the day. These kettles take slightly longer to come to a boil but offer the convenience of fewer refill cycles over the course of a morning or afternoon.

Key Features to Look For

Auto Shut-Off & Dry-Boil Protection

Every kettle in this range includes automatic shut-off once the water reaches 100°C, and dry-boil protection that cuts power if the kettle is turned on without water. These are non-negotiable safety features in a modern household appliance, and both are standard across all brands and models listed here.

Concealed Heating Element

Kettles with a concealed heating element — where the element is hidden beneath a flat stainless steel plate on the base — are significantly easier to clean than older exposed-coil designs. Limescale accumulates more slowly, and a simple wipe with a damp cloth keeps the interior clean. Most kettles in this range use concealed elements.

360° Rotating Cordless Base

A 360° rotating base means the kettle can be lifted and replaced from any direction — no need to align the kettle in a specific orientation. This is a small but genuinely convenient feature in the daily rhythm of kitchen use, particularly when the kettle is frequently picked up and set down by different household members.

Cool-Touch Exterior

Several Borosil models feature a double-wall cool-touch exterior that keeps the outer body safe to hold even when water is boiling inside. This is especially useful in households with children, or for anyone who habitually handles the kettle without a cloth.
