HuffPost's shopping desk has rounded up thirteen (or fourteen, depending which paragraph you trust) electric kettles, ranked by how fast they boil water and how good they look doing it.

Options span a putty-beige Crate & Barrel model with boil-dry protection to a Cuisinart double-walled kettle, with prices and a reviewer's testimony that she loved hers enough to buy one for her mother.

The piece arrived tagged to the White House beat, which tells you more about filing software than about the kettles.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK
A kettle is a kettle, and calling one pure joy in appliance form is the kind of thing a fellow says right before he tries to sell you the extended warranty. Somebody's commission check is riding on that adjective. Boil your water, enjoy your tea, and don't let anybody tell you the handle has feelings.
