Smeg 1.7L Kettle with 7 Temperatures - Pastel Blue vs 0.8L Mini Kettle, Retro 50's Style, Anti-Slip Base, Auto Shut Off, 1400W, White — Comparison

Smeg KLF04PBUK 1.7L Kettle with 7 Temperatures in Pastel Blue is priced at £160, while Smeg KLF05WHUK 0.8L Mini Kettle, Retro 50's Style, Anti-Slip Base, Auto Shut Off, 1400W, White is priced at £119. Both sit in Smeg’s kettle line-up, but the KLF04PBUK is the full-size temperature-control model, whereas the KLF05WHUK is the smaller and simpler mini kettle. That makes this a model-by-model decision about capacity, power delivery, convenience features and how much design detail you want on the worktop.

In specification terms, the KLF04PBUK offers 1.7L capacity, 3000W wattage, a 360 swivel base, anti-slip feet, stainless steel filter and 7 temperature settings, while the KLF05WHUK has 0.8L capacity, 1400W power, safety shut off, a 360 swivel base and mini cordless convenience. Because both products come from the same brand, the meaningful differences are the practical details: how much water each model holds, how quickly the stated wattage supports boiling, which filters or indicators are included, and whether the extra feature set justifies the price gap for your household routine.

The KLF04PBUK suits tea drinkers, families or home workers who want more water and the flexibility to heat at different temperatures. The KLF05WHUK suits users with limited counter space who mainly boil small amounts and do not need adjustable temperature control. The £41 premium for the KLF04PBUK buys capacity, speed and precision rather than just a different colour. For buyers comparing them online, it is worth thinking beyond colour alone: capacity affects how often you refill, power affects waiting time, and small usability details such as water windows, cup indicators, filters or temperature control often matter every morning.

Bottom line: choose KLF04PBUK if you want a £160 1.7L Smeg kettle with 7 temperatures, 3000W power, stainless steel filtration and anti-slip feet / opt for KLF05WHUK if you want a £119 0.8L mini Smeg kettle with 1400W power, safety shut off and a smaller white retro body.
