    Electric kettles are a waste of space for many people. Limited use, fills up the counter. So then either you use the store or the microwave. We both know which one is faster.

      I honestly don’t know which is faster since I’ve never used a microwave to boil water. An electric kettle is essential for me. It also boils water that can then be used for cooking so for me it’s versatile enough to justify the space. Toasters imo have much more limited use and those seem to be common in US households too.

      Electric kettle is used more frequently than the coffee maker, and takes up less space. It’s faster too. I think it’s 2kw, while microwave is 800w. There are more powerful kettles too, up to 3kw i think.
