How to choose the best electric kettle, which manufacturer is better
When choosing an electric kettle, we first of all pay attention to the price. Usually it fluctuates between 2-5 thousand rubles, depending on the working volume and capabilities of the device. However, in addition to cost, other characteristics should be considered. The most important ones are:
Amount of waterwhich can boil the kettle. The most common volumes for modern models are 1.5, 1.7 and 2 liters. If you need a large electric kettle, then pay attention to the 3.5 or 2.5 liter thermo pot.
Power... Models up to 1500 W will take longer to heat up the water.
Useful functions: thermostat and automatic shutdown when removed from the stand.
- The first one allows you to heat the water to the desired temperature.
- And the second increases the safety of working with the kettle.
- Also, many modern electric kettles have a function that prevents the device from turning on without water.
Open or hidden heating element?
The location of the heating element can significantly affect how easy it is to clean an electric kettle. It is better not to take models with an open spiral, because limescale quickly accumulates on it, which will require frequent cleaning of the device. A heating element hidden under the disc bottom avoids this problem.
Manufacturer... The following brands are distinguished by the highest quality assembly with a minimum number of defects: Bosch, Braun, De'Longhi, Philips, Tefal, REDMOND. This does not mean that other manufacturers, even Chinese ones, are making bad teapots.
