Competitors to electric kettles: TOP 5 best thermo pots
There are not so many technical parameters for thermopots, but it is still more convenient to compare them using
The thermopot of the famous manufacturer of household appliances Polaris is made in a pleasant floral design that will surely appeal to the fair sex. Also in the company's line there are two related models: PWP 2819, which differs only in the pattern, and Polaris PWP 2821 700 W 2.8 L white , which has an all-metal housing.
The internal bulb of Polaris PWP 2817 is made of stainless steel. It holds 2.8 liters of water, which, usually, is quite enough for a whole day, even for a large family.
After the device is connected to the network, the water starts boiling automatically. Then the heating function (temperature maintenance) is turned on with electricity consumption. There is also a REBOIL reboil button on the case.If you disconnect the thermopot from the mains after boiling (there is no separate shutdown button), then when the flask is fully filled, the water will remain warm for about 4 hours.
Boiling water or warm water from the Polaris PWP 2817 thermopot can be poured in various ways. Firstly, there is a special automatic feed button on the case. Also, if the device is connected to the mains, you can pour water by pressing the cup on the lever near the spout. And if the device is turned off, then a manual pump on the lid is provided for spilling.
Polaris PWP 2817 has protection against heating in the absence or minimum amount of water. There is also a hand pump blocker that prevents spillage when accidentally pressed. The water level indicator, removable lid, swivel base and handle for transportation are responsible for ease of operation.
Some users note that the filling scale is not very informative due to the lack of illumination, and the handle for carrying the thermopot is rather flimsy and there is a risk of its falling out of the grooves. But in general, given the affordable price of the Polaris PWP 2817 and the proposed capacity, the device can be recommended for home use or use in a small team at work instead of a conventional electric kettle.
The Saturn ST EK8032 new thermopot received a metal case, which is not typical for models of the low-cost segment. The updated device features a hi-tech decor. It will easily fit into the interior of both a home kitchen and an office space.
The thermopot flask is made of food grade steel. Its volume is 3 liters. The power consumption of the Saturn ST EK8032 new is 800 watts, which ensures efficiency in comparison with electric kettles.
The model is not equipped with a separate on/off button. Immediately after connecting to the network, the boiling process begins, and after its completion, the temperature maintenance mode is activated at 85 – 90 degrees. If necessary, you can bring the liquid to a boil again, which will take about 2 minutes (when fully loaded).
Saturn ST EK8032 new is equipped with a 90-degree hinged lid. This simplifies the process of filling the flask. There will also be no difficulties with spilling water: three methods are provided at once — automatic (by pressing a button), by pressing on the spout with a cup and manual (pump). The latter option does not require a network connection and allows you to use the thermopot as a camping thermos.
For safety reasons, there is protection against overheating and switching on without water, as well as blocking the manual pump.
Some users note the presence of a characteristic smell of plastic at the beginning of the operation of the model, which is probably due to the plastic cover of the device. Otherwise, the Saturn ST EK8032 new looks very interesting in its price category, primarily due to the steel body, which is well protected from mechanical influences.
Redmond household appliances are becoming more and more popular. A vivid confirmation of this is the RTP-M801 thermopot, which is among the leaders in sales in the market. The model received a durable steel body and a 3.5-liter flask.
Redmond RTP-M801 is equipped with a thermostat, which not only allows you to keep the water hot after boiling, but also to ensure its necessary temperature. Three modes are offered — 65, 85 and 98 degrees. A corresponding button is provided for re-boiling.
The disadvantage characteristic of many thermal pots — the absence of a switch—off button — does not apply to this device. In addition, there is a timer to delay the start. There are 8 fixed adjustment options between 3 and 99 hours. But there is not enough delay for 8-9 hours (for a period of sleep or a working day) or an independent setting of the required turn–on time.
Redmond RTP-M801 can supply water in three ways — by pressing a button, pressing a lever on the spout (using a cup or glass) and using a hand pump. Each method of spilling involves blocking: in order to protect against children or accidental clicks.
Thanks to the LED display, the control process is simplified as much as possible. Additional convenience is guaranteed by a backlit water level indicator, a removable lid and a carrying handle.
The shortcomings of the thermopot include a flimsy attachment of the handle to the body, a fairly strong pressure of water when it is supplied, tight pressing of buttons. But in general, in terms of its functionality, the Redmond RTP-M801 is probably the main competitor of the flagship Panasonic models. At the same time, its cost is slightly lower, which makes it one of the most optimal solutions in terms of functionality and cost.
The stylish silver design conceals the rather large dimensions of the TM Vitek thermal hood and helps the device to fit into any modern interior. And the steel body and the bulb are designed to ensure the reliability and durability of the model.
The Vitek VT-1188 thermostat allows you to choose the necessary heating temperature from three options after bringing the water to a boil: 98, 85 and 65 degrees.
The device does not provide a separate power button, but automatic heating does not begin until the corresponding BOILING button is pressed. Plus, in the mode of maintaining the temperature or boiling the liquid, the device can be turned off — by pressing the BOILING button again.
The 750 Watt heater works quietly, but considering the 4-liter flask, boiling cold water will take quite a long time. But the re-boiling of the warm liquid takes place in a few minutes. The capacity of the Vitek VT-1188 thermopot is enough not only for a large family or a reception, but also for a whole department of 12-14 people.
The lid is removable, which simplifies filling the metal flask. The variability of hot water supply is guaranteed by three ways of filling: by pressing a special button on the body, pressing a cup on the spout or pumping a manual pump. The latter, according to many users, is a disadvantage of the model. So, when the flask is empty, the water pressure drops significantly during manual feeding. In addition, there are cases of pump failure after several months of operation.
The disadvantages include the imperfect operation of the electric water supply immediately after boiling. Due to the excess steam in some users, the electric drive refuses to pour the liquid, so you either need to wait a little or open the lid.
If you need a roomy thermopot with maintaining the right water temperature, then Vitek VT-1188 can become your favorite. At least because most of the models that are similar in functionality have a flask of smaller capacity.
Japanese manufacturer Panasonic offers several thermal pots. The most functional and popular among buyers is the model in a plastic case NC-HU301.
Panasonic NC-HU301 is equipped with a 3-liter metal flask with Bincho carbon coating, which, according to the manufacturer, improves the properties of drinking water. Additionally, fans of tea drinking are offered the "Tea" mode, which involves stopping during the heating process and an extended time to maintain the boiling point to improve the organoleptic qualities of the drink.
There is also a separate function of long-term boiling, designed to reduce scale deposits and better purify the water from chlorine.
The built-in thermostat allows you to maintain three liquid heating temperatures: 80 (perfect for brewing Japanese tea), 90 (for green) and 98 degrees (for black varieties, coffee, fast food).
The Panasonic NC-HU301 is equipped with a start delay timer for 4 – 10 hours in 2-hour increments. In the temperature maintenance mode, the device consumes less than 20 watts. Additionally, the Energy Saving mode is provided, which analyzes the weekly schedule of using the thermopot and includes heating only at the right time of day.
Users of the Panasonic NC-HU301 are offered one way to supply water: by pressing the corresponding button on the case. But thanks to the built-in battery, even when the power is turned off, it will work. In addition, there are 4 high-speed spill modes, which will help to find a balance between speed and accuracy.
Convenience in operation is also provided by an informative display, a rotary base, a water level indicator, an overheat and spill protection function (the latter is responsible for the absence of drops on the table after the water supply is stopped).
Panasonic NC-HU301 is one of the most functional thermal pots on the market. Its cost is comparable to the main competitors, and the shortcomings of the device can be considered the lack of backlight for the display and the water level indicator, simple design, automatic boiling of water when the device is connected to the network (this feature allows you to bypass the timer or double-click the "Tea" button). Otherwise, the thermopot claims to be the best on the market right now.
