An electric kettle is judged on two things after the first month: how safely it behaves when someone forgets it, and whether the inside still looks clean. The Sujata EK01 Electric Kettle in black is built around both. It pairs a 1.5 litre 304-grade stainless steel tank and lid with a 1500 W heating element and a patented Strix controller, the thermostat used in kettles worldwide for its reliability. The matte black cool-touch body and 360-degree base make it easy to place and easy to live with in a kitchen, a hostel room or an office pantry.
The safety engineering is the reason to choose this model. Its 3-way auto shut-off cuts power in three distinct situations — when the water reaches a boil, when the kettle is lifted off its base, and when it is switched on with no water inside — which covers exactly the mistakes people actually make. The double-wall cool-touch exterior means the outside stays safe to handle even while the water boils, an important consideration in homes with children. Steel for both the tank and the inner lid means no plastic in contact with boiling water, and a wide mouth makes filling and descaling straightforward. It runs on standard 220–240 V household supply, and is covered by the manufacturer's warranty against manufacturing defects.
For appliances, it pays to buy where warranty and after-sales support are handled properly. Girdhar Das & Sons has served Varanasi since 1970 as an authorised dealer, and every appliance we sell is 100% genuine with full manufacturer warranty.

The Strix thermostat is the component that decides when a kettle stops heating, and it is the part that fails first in cheaper units. It provides accurate boil detection and dry-boil protection, which is why it remains the benchmark control system in electric kettles globally.
Power cuts automatically at boiling point, when the kettle is lifted from its base, and when switched on empty. In a shared kitchen or a hostel room — where a kettle often gets switched on and then forgotten — this three-way protection is the single most useful feature on the appliance.
Both the water tank and the inner lid are 304-grade stainless steel, so boiling water never touches plastic. Steel resists corrosion, does not hold odours, and stays hygienic over years of daily tea and coffee.
A 1500 W element brings a full 1.5 litres to a boil quickly, which matters on weekday mornings and when several people need chai in succession. It also makes short work of boiling water for instant noodles, oats or baby feeds.
The outer wall stays cool enough to handle while the kettle is in use, reducing the risk of accidental burns. It also slows heat loss slightly, so water stays hot a little longer after boiling.
The kettle can be set down on its base from any angle, which is genuinely convenient on a crowded counter. The wide mouth opening makes filling, cleaning and periodic descaling simple rather than fiddly.
An electric kettle is one of the most-used items in any new home, and the EK01's steel tank and three-way safety system make it a considered wedding gift rather than a generic appliance — particularly for a couple where one partner leaves early and makes tea in a hurry. It is also an excellent gift for students heading to hostels or PG accommodation, where a safe, dry-boil-protected kettle covers chai, noodles and hot water for the whole term. For corporate gifting, it is close to ideal: it sits at a sensible level for bulk Diwali or joining gifts, it is a genuine daily-use item in any home or workstation, the black finish is neutral for any recipient, and it is compact enough to pack and courier in volume without damage.
It has a 1.5 litre capacity, which is enough for roughly six to seven cups of tea in one boil. That suits a family, a small office pantry or a shared hostel kitchen.
It switches the kettle off automatically in three situations: when the water boils, when the kettle is lifted off its base, and when it is switched on with no water in it. The last of these, dry-boil protection, is what prevents the element from burning out.
Both the tank and the inner lid are 304-grade stainless steel. Boiling water does not come into contact with plastic, which is a common concern with lower-specification kettles.
This is a water-boiling kettle and is designed for water only. Boiling milk or cooking food directly in the tank will leave residue on the element, affect performance and may not be covered under warranty.
Fill the kettle with a mix of water and a little white vinegar or citric acid, bring it to a boil, let it stand for a while, then discard and rinse thoroughly. Doing this every few weeks in a hard-water area keeps the element efficient.
No. The double-wall cool-touch construction keeps the outer body safe to handle during use, which makes it a safer choice in households with children.
It runs on a standard 220–240 V, 50–60 Hz household supply and draws 1500 W. Use a properly rated socket, and avoid running it through a low-capacity extension board.
It is a good fit. The steel tank is easy to keep hygienic in shared conditions, the three-way auto shut-off protects against the kettle being left on, and 1.5 litres is enough for a room of two or three students sharing chai and instant meals.
This kettle is covered by the manufacturer's warranty against manufacturing defects. Damage from misuse, dry-boiling beyond the protection cut-off, scale neglect or physical impact is not covered.
