Five good electric kettles with different bulb material

The electric kettle of the well-known Dutch manufacturer presents the Daily Collection line: designed for daily use, as well as, for example, a drip coffee maker Philips Daily Collection HD7457/20 stainless steel . The inscription "5 years without leakage" is emblazoned on the box of the model.

The Philips HD 4646 case is made of plastic. Thanks to this, the electric kettle is affordable, durable and light enough. The product is offered in two colour options — white and blue, looks neat and stylish. Unlike many plastic analogues, the model does not have a characteristic smell of plastic and does not need a series of "idle" boils.

The advantages of Philips HD 4646 include high speed. The power of 2.4 kW allows you to boil 1.5 liters of water in about 4 minutes. There is also a small drawback associated with solid power — quite noisy work, but this is typical of most modern electric kettles.

In operation, the kettle is extremely simple. There is a swivel stand, a microfilter in the descaling spout, protection from boiling water. Additional convenience is provided by the cord storage system (although it is too short — only 0.75 m), water level indicators on both sides of the case, a wide-hinged lid (for filling and cleaning). Of the minuses, it is worth highlighting only the lack of indication (backlight) of the power button.

If the case manufacturing material does not bother, then Philips HD 4646 will be almost the optimal solution in the lower price segment.

Ceramic electric kettle Polaris PWK 1299CCR has an original design. It is made in a pleasant creamy coloring with a beautiful floral pattern that will appeal to many housewives.

Polaris PWK 1299CCR is made of ceramic. It is inert, that is, it does not affect water even at high temperatures, keeps warm for a long time, looks presentable, absorbs noise well. The kettle works quieter than analogues made of plastic or metal, also due to the relatively low power (1400 watts). However, the boiling time of water increases because of this.

The electric kettle is compact in size. Its capacity is 1.2 liters, which, usually, is quite enough for a small family of 2-3 people. The shape of the Polaris PWK 1299CCR resembles a classic porcelain teapot, so it will definitely become a decoration of the kitchen interior and can even be used for serving the table at tea.

In terms of ease of use, the model is not inferior to most analogues. The kettle can be rotated 360° on the stand. A lock is provided on the removable lid, which will not allow it to fall out when spilling water into cups.

Since the Polaris PWK 1299CCR kettle itself is heavy and does not have a water level indicator, you can only determine its amount by opening the lid. Another disadvantage of the model is the probability of water leakage. Firstly, with a strong temperature contrast, the kettle can burst, so you should not pour cold water inside immediately after boiling water. Secondly, the loose fit of the gasket on the bottom to the ceramic often causes water to seep onto the stand.

Electric kettle Polaris PWK-1299CCR primarily attracts with the material of manufacture and original design. As for ceramics, it is inexpensive, which is able to compensate for some of its shortcomings.

The teapot of the Slovenian brand Gorenje is made of glass with stainless steel inserts. The model is made in high-tech design, looks strictly, neatly attractive, which will allow the appliance to easily fit into any modern kitchen interior.

Gorenje K 17 G is designed for 1.7 liters. This volume is enough for a family tea party, and for quick heating of water for the subsequent preparation of various dishes. The power of 2.2 kW allows you to boil a full kettle in five and a half minutes, while the model does not make much noise.

Like any glass teapot, Gorenje K 17 G guarantees not only environmental friendliness, but also additional visibility of the heating process. Since the flask is transparent, even without an indication of the water level, it is clear how much of it is inside. Additional advantages include the automatic shutdown of the electric kettle when removed from the stand and the presence of a metal descaling filter. One of the pleasant bonuses is the opening of the lid by 90° at the touch of a button, the cord storage system, 360° rotation on the stand.

The disadvantages of the electric kettle include a rather persistent unpleasant smell that comes from small plastic elements present in the structure. Another drawback is the flimsy design of the lid. It often fails: it jams, opens arbitrarily, stops closing.

Among the glass models Gorenje K 17 G is one of the bestsellers today, which should definitely be taken into account when making a purchase decision.

Bosch TWK 7801 is a metal electric kettle with a chrome body. The model is offered in five colour options, each of which, thanks to the material of manufacture, looks stylish and attractive. The kettle is a close relative of Bosch TWK 7901 2200 W 1.7 L stainless steel , which differs only in design.

The steel body of the Bosch TWK 7801 is as strong and reliable as possible, but at the same time it is light enough. The flask is completely made of metal, which guarantees environmental friendliness and eliminates any unpleasant odours or tastes from the water. Due to the convenient handle, the characteristic disadvantage of metal kettles is largely leveled — significant heating of the case and the associated risk of getting burned.

The volume of the Bosch TWK 7801 is 1.7 liters. The power of 2.2 kW helps to boil a full kettle in about 5 and a half minutes. During operation, the appliance is moderately noisy.

Convenience in operation will be provided by a lid that opens with a 90° degree button, a power cord storage system under the "base", a descaling filter. To the traditional safety systems (overheating protection, automatic shutdown), a lid lock is added — the device works only when it is closed.

Among the disadvantages of the Bosch TWK 7801, users note the inconvenient location of the water level indicator (located under the handle) and its insufficient information content — you have to look at the scale.

In general, this electric kettle is the sales leader among stainless steel models. The high performance and beautiful appearance of the Bosch TWK 7801, coupled with the reputation of the manufacturer, often become a decisive factor when choosing.

The plastic electric kettle represents the Multiquick 3 line of the well-known German manufacturer. The Braun WK 300 model looks bright and stylish thanks to interesting colour solutions (4 options are available) and the original shape of the case with a forward-facing spout.

Braun WK 300 is designed for 1.7 liters, which is quite enough for a full–fledged tea party for 5-7 people. The power of 2200 watts allows you to boil a full kettle in about 6 minutes. There is also the possibility of rapid heating: in 45 seconds you can get boiling water for one cup.

Braun WK 300 is equipped with a 4-level security system. Automatic shutdown occurs not only when the tank is boiling or empty, but also when the device is removed from the heating disc or the lid is opened.

It is not difficult to fill the kettle with water even through a wide spout. And with the Braun WK 300 lid open, it is even easier to do this, as well as to clean the inner walls and bottom of the flask. There is also a swivel base, a descaling filter (removable, washable), water level indication (on both sides).

Some buyers attribute the characteristic smell of plastic to the disadvantages of the Braun WK 300. In some cases, it disappears after several boils of water, and in others it remains longer. Of the minor shortcomings, it is possible to distinguish noisy work and the appearance of condensation on the lid.

The Braun WK 300 is supported not only by the excellent reputation of the manufacturer, but also by numerous examples of successful long-term operation (from 5 years or more). If you are looking for a reliable and durable kettle, then this attractive appliance is worthy of your attention.
