How to get the best deal on a kettle and toaster set
Shop around
It pays to shop around online for kettles and toasters. Retailers such as Argos and Currys often offer bundle deals that make the pair much cheaper than buying separately. It’s also worth checking Amazon for its ‘frequently bought together’ discounts.
Although a bundled deal is often your best bet, it makes sense to check the individual prices of each product before you buy, just in case a discounted item makes the pair cheaper.
Scour the seasonal sales
The January sales, or September sales - when shops try to tempt students heading to university to stock up on budget kitchen gadgets - are good times to look for bargain kettle and toaster sets. Older colour options or styles that are being phased out may be cheaper than normal.
Supermarkets
Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury's and Tesco can be a good place to shop for low-cost, own-brand kettle and toaster packs from as little as £12. Paying less doesn't automatically mean you're stuck with an ugly white plastic creation though. We've found some affordable, stylish options, including copper kettles and toasters. The quality of supermarket own-brand appliances varies a lot though, so check our reviews before you buy to avoid a dud.
Another way to keep costs down is to buy from a reliable brand. We’ve found that some kettle and toaster brands are prone to faults, so you’ll likely need to replace them every few years. For the products that go the distance, see our guides to the top kettle brands and top toaster brands.
Our kettle and toaster tests
We've tested many hundreds of kettles and toasters over the years so we know a thing or two about how to sort the best from the rest. Our tests are independent and objective - we test each appliance to the same standard so it's easy to compare across different models.
We can tell you how fast each kettle boils, how noisy it is and how efficient it is, plus any annoying ease of use issues to consider. For toasters, we rate how well they brown each side of the slice, and how consistently they toast, as well as how quick they are and how well they fit different-sized slices.

And finally, why not complete the set with a Best Buy coffee machine?
