Haden Dorset Electric Kettle vs Haden Heritage Electric Kettle

Both are 1.7 L, 1500 W Haden kettles with auto shut-off, boil-dry protection, a water window and a spare filter. The Dorset adds a retro temperature gauge and comes in several colors; the Heritage is the plainer painted stainless model. Owners of both praise the looks and quick boiling, but Haden kettle reviews report leaks, peeling finish and tops that come apart within a year or two, so treat either as a style pick rather than a long-term buy.

• Choose the Dorset if you want the retro look with a temperature gauge and a choice of colors, and you accept that the finish and seals may not last for years.
• Choose the Heritage if you prefer a plain stainless body and the same core features without paying for a gauge or color options.
