Haden Dorset Electric Kettle vs Haden Heritage 1.7L Electric Kettle

Both are 1.7 L, 1500 W Haden kettles with 360-degree bases, boil-dry cut-off and auto shut-off, so they boil water the same way. The Dorset adds a retro temperature gauge, a water-fill window and a power light, and comes in chrome, white, multicolor and stainless finishes. The Heritage is the plainer matte black and copper model and ships with two spare filters. Owners rate the Dorset well at 4.5 from 573 ratings; the Heritage has little owner feedback to judge it by. Buy the Dorset for the gauge and color choice, the Heritage for a darker, simpler look.

• Choose the Haden Dorset if you want a temperature gauge, a water-fill window and a choice of retro colors.
• Choose the Haden Heritage if you prefer a matte black and copper finish and a simpler kettle with two spare filters.
