One of the best benefits of owning and using a stovetop kettle is that is frees up kitchen counter space. This leaves more counter space for meal prep and baking without dedicated kettle space taking up countertop space. The more compact your kitchen, the more important this consideration becomes.

Another benefit of a stovetop kettle is that it frees up a power socket in the kitchen. Unless you are awash with power sockets in your kitchen, then not having one dedicated to a kettle is a real advantage that allows all available sockets to be used for other appliances.  This is especially useful when baking and creating using multiple kitchen appliances.

The additional advantage of having a stovetop kettle is that you are entirely in control of the temperature of the water, especially if your kettle has a thermometer gauge inbuilt. You control the water temperature simply by using your stovetop gas or electric control.  Remember stovetop kettles can be used for many other things besides making tea and coffee  i.e. warming water accurately for baking, humidifying a room, having hot water on the back burner, heating filtered water for baby’s bath or baby’s bottles, for sterilizing at specific temperatures – all easily achieved with the flexibility of a stovetop kettle.
