Here are some Questions and Answers on the topic.

Q: Is it cheaper to buy a set or a kettle and a toaster individually?
A: Buying a set together will sometimes save you money by having the price marginally reduced. But if you just want absolute rock bottom prices it is best to buy the cheapest of both separately. Buying a set should be more about the style rather then cost.

Q: How much do they cost?
A: The prices obviously vary as their is a reasonable amount of choice. All sets vary on the cost in regards to the amount of liquid the kettle can hold, speed of boiling, amount of bread the toaster can hold, the brand name, and whether it is a basic design or made of stainless steel. Prices can vary a lot so be sure to do your research, take a good look at specs to avoid paying over the odds.

Q: How long do they last?
A: Most range from 6 years to well over 15 years. How heavy usage is will always have an impact. There have even been some that lasted 30 years or more. It depends on how often they are used, what they are made out of and how well the owner takes care of them. Always take a look at guarantees as well to ensure if their is a problem early on your appliance is covered.

Q: How much liquid can a kettle hold?
A: Different kettles hold different amounts of liquid. On average, kettles hold 1.7 litres, although some hold a little bit less than that at 1.5 litres.

Q: What are the settings on a toaster?
A: Usually there are about 6 browning settings on a toaster based on a number or another type of symbol.

Q: Does the toaster and kettle in a set always match in color?
A: Yes, they are sold as a unit and they compliment each other, whether exactly or just in color scheme.

Q: Are there any safety features?
A: Yes, depending on the product. Some kettles offer an automatic shut down once the water evaporates completely from inside. Others have a removable lime scale filter and a water level indicator. The toasters also have a mid cycle cancel option.

Q: How quickly does water boil in the kettle?
A: Obviously this depends on which model as they have different power. But most kettles have a fast-boil element which means it shouldn’t take long. You wouldn’t want a litre to take any more then 3 minutes.
