What is the rating of electric kettles?

Having typed in the search engine "electric kettle - which is better to choose, rating, noiseless", you will receive several pages of links - to pages of online stores, forums, manufacturers' sites. First of all, look into the discussions, there you will surely find ratings.

Any rating allows you to determine the best product by certain parameters."Tournament tables" are experts, manufacturers, trade organizations, as well as the users themselves.

On what parameters can you compare teapots? There are a lot of them:

• capacity;
• power;
• type of heating element;
• stand device;
• filters;
• body material;
• additional functions;
• design.

Capacity

How much water do you want to boil at a time? This is the capacity. Electric kettles are:

• large - about 2 liters;
• averages - 1,5-1,7 l;
• small - 0,8-1 l;
• compact - 0.5 liter.

How to choose:

• The most common option - medium, can accommodate about one and a half liters. For a family of three, this is quite enough.
• For a tea for two, enough volume in one liter.
• If you have a large family or you often receive guests - pay attention to two-liter units.
• And travelers and single people will be satisfied with the "baby" by 0.5 liters.

Power

The power depends on how long you have to wait for the water to boil. In most models, water is heated to boiling in 3 minutes. There is a direct relationship between volume and the required power.

The more water you want to boil, the more powerful the unit should be:

• The power of small teapots is usually 0.6 -1.4 kW.This is enough to quickly cook a liter of boiling water.
• If the volume is average, the power needs a little more - from one and a half to two and a half kilowatts.
• For larger units, power of at least three kilowatts is needed.

Important! If you buy a large, powerful electric kettle, make sure that the wiring in your house will withstand such additional stress.

Let's talk about the

heaters. The water is heated by the operation of the heating element - the heating element. They are of only two types:

• with an open spiral;
• with closed spiral.

Models with an open spiral are cheaper. The most important inconvenience - on the heater very quickly appears a thick layer of scale. There are other disadvantages:

• is inconvenient to wash the bottom;
• a layer of liquid must cover the spiral, so that some water can not be heated.

Important! Any rating of teapots is headed by a model with a closed spiral. Such units, of course, are more expensive, but not much. There are practically no shortcomings.

Filters

They are needed so that the scum does not fall into the cup. Put them in a spout. Filters are:

• steel;
• nylon.

Important! Now filters put even manufacturers of the cheapest models. Some companies produce teapots with built-in filters. It is convenient, but expensive.

Housing material

For the manufacture of casings manufacturers use several types of materials:

• plastic;
• stainless steel;
• heat-resistant glass;
• ceramics.

Plastic

The most popular material is plastic. Its undoubted advantage is that it is of different colors, it can easily be given an unexpected shape. In this case, the case does not overheat. Such kettles stand cheaper than all the others.

Important! There is a certain risk that the plastic will be of poor quality, and then the unit will very quickly fail.

Stainless steel

Electric kettles made of stainless steel look very impressive. They also have another advantage - the water heats up faster than in others.

But each coin has its own back side - a body that has remarkable heat conductivity, and he himself heats up very well during work.

Important! The handle, of course, is made of plastic, but you still need to be careful when making tea.

Glass

Elegant, durable and reliable products. They look wonderful, they can decorate any kitchen. No smell and unpleasant aftertaste, as in the case of a housing made of poor-quality plastic, will not be exact.

But there are two serious disadvantages:

• price;
• need a thorough care.

Ceramics

These electric kettles are beautiful products. Like glass, do not give an unpleasant smell and taste. Will look great with the appropriate in style ceramic cups. In addition, the water in such a teapot remains hot for a long time. Significant disadvantages:

• high cost;
• heavy weight;
• brittleness.

Design

Proverb "on clothes meet" is fully applicable to household appliances. The buyer first looks at the appearance of the product, and then begins to deal with the power and filters.

Therefore, manufacturers offer their customers the most unexpected design solutions. Teapots differ in shape, color, presence of lighting.

Important! Now on sale you will find even the units, in which the color of the case varies depending on the temperature, and for other models for the same reason the lighting changes.

Let's talk about additional functions of

The main task of an electric kettle is to heat water to a boil. There is a standard set of functions:

• indicator on;
• water level indicator;
• booster shutdown system;

If you are looking for a good electric kettle, the rating can lead the most simple model. As for additional functions, you need to think very hard about whether they are needed at all. You can meet quite expensive models that have:

• automatic heating;
• thermostat;
• sound signal;
• heatpot.

What gives these functions:

• Auto-heating is useful if you want the water to stay cool for a long time. But since electric kettles and so cool slowly, and heated quickly, this function may not be necessary for everyone.
• The temperature regulator is convenient for the fan of exotic teas, which must be brewed at a lower temperature - for example, 85 ° C or even 60 ° C.
• A sound signal will be useful to people who are addicted, who turn on the kettle and start doing other things.
