Smeg KLF04PKEU pink

designer teapot

The electric kettle of the Italian brand Smeg is made in the style of the 50s of the last century. It is notable for its streamlined conical body, chrome inserts and sans-serif logo. The latter is also a reference to retro design.

Pink Smeg KLF04PKEU is one of 8 options offered by the manufacturer, including black, turquoise, white and others. By the way, other devices of the company, including refrigerators, coffee machines and Smeg toasters, have a similar design.

7 heating modes

The feature of the kettle is the presence of a thermostat. He is able not only to boil, but also to bring water to the desired temperature. In total, 7 temperature modes are offered, ranging from 50 to 100 °C (all in 10 degree increments + heating option up to 95 °C). This variety will provide water at the optimal temperature for a variety of hot drinks, including decoctions, green, white, black and other types of tea, instant coffee, etc.

Switching modes is carried out using a mechanical lever, and for clarity of the choice of temperature mode, there are 7 LED indicators on the side face. They, flashing during the operation of the kettle, display the already reached temperature.

Keep warm function

Smeg KLF04PKEU received a 1.7-liter steel flask. The 2400-watt heating element can bring the water in it to a boil in about 6 minutes. The minimum amount of liquid for heating is 500 mL, that is, two cups that are standard for modern models. The clear level indicator with a scale is located under the handle.

The kettle also has a keep warm function. By pressing the corresponding button (Keep Warm), the required value will be kept for the next 20 minutes.

Nice bonuses

The ergonomics of the model is supported by non-slip feet, a compartment for a power cord and a lid that opens with a button, and not abruptly, but smoothly, which is designed to prevent flying hot splashes.

The downside of the Smeg KLF04PKEU is the high price, but this is a reasonable price to pay for both the premium design and advanced functionality of the kettle. And if the thermostat is not needed, then you can save a little by buying a younger relative — KLF03PKEU.
