What Quiet Mark means
Quiet Mark is an independent UK programme that tests products for noise and awards its mark to those that are notably quieter. It's run in association with the UK Noise Abatement Society. For a kettle, that means a calmer boil in the morning.
Why a concealed element helps
The heating element sits under a flat plate rather than inside the water. That makes the inside easier to wipe clean and descale, and you can boil smaller amounts as long as you fill above the minimum mark.
Keeping white kettles white
- Wipe splashes and tea drips quickly before they stain.
- Use a soft cloth with warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Rinse the filter and descale regularly to keep the boil quiet and fast.
