Philips hot water kettles come in several varieties based on their design and function. While Philips kettles also have some variety in size, the difference is negligible, since most are either 1.5 liter or 1.7 liter capacity. Differences do exist, however, between the type of water measurements used on the Philips water kettle, the materials of the kettle and energy-saving mechanisms used.

While they sell many types of water kettles, Philips markets all of their electric kettles outside of the US, with only their Coffee Pod available within the US. If you want to buy any of Philips hot water kettles types and styles, you will need to shop international retailers and pay for international shipping. Although prices typically are given in British Pounds, you can still pay with a US credit or debit card.
