Five of the best steel electric kettles with a volume of 1.7 liters

The teapot of the French brand Tefal, representing the Good Value series, is made in a design familiar to electric models. Its silver body with black plastic inserts will easily fit into almost any kitchen interior.

The 1.7 liter flask Tefal KI 150 is made of steel. It provides the kettle with reliability and durability, the absence of an unpleasant smell of plastic during operation. Plus, the metal gives the product a more stylish and expensive appearance compared to analogues from other materials.

Since the steel gets very hot during the operation of the kettle, its handle and lid are made of plastic.

The device is equipped with a powerful heating element of 2400 W, which allows you to quickly bring water to a temperature of 100 degrees. The full volume boils in less than 5 minutes, and the heating process itself is moderately noisy. This is a feature of most metal models, unlike, for example, relatively quiet plastic kettles.

The Tefal KI 150 case has only one power button without backlight. Immediately after boiling, the kettle automatically turns off.

One of the features of the model is a removable, rather than a hinged lid, which simplifies both the filling of water and the cleaning of the device. An anti-scale filter is provided. He is also removable.

The electric kettle received a swivel base, a system for winding the cord under it, an ergonomic spout through which you can fill the flask. But the manufacturer did not take care of one traditional element: it is a water level indicator. Due to its absence, you will have to open the device more often to assess the amount of liquid inside.

Given the low cost and good reputation of the brand in the market of small household appliances, we can recommend Tefal KI 150 to anyone who is looking for a practical, versatile solution for boiling water and does not consider a water level indicator to be a mandatory attribute of a modern kettle.

The Bosch TWK 7901 metal kettle holds 1.7 liters of water (5-6 cups) and is made in the traditional silver colour. The same colour at the base, lid and spout, but the plastic handle is dark grey. From the point of view of design, the red on / off button, equipped with a pleasant LED backlight, looks original.

The electric kettle is equipped with a 2200 W hidden heating element. It allows you to boil a full flask in about 5 minutes. The Bosch TWK 7901 works quite loudly. According to some users, the generated noise resembles the roar of airplanes and interferes with normal communication in the kitchen.

For safety reasons, the automatic shutdown after boiling, blocking the opening of the lid during operation, as well as protection against overheating are provided.

The kettle received two water level indicators — on the left and right sides of the handle. In addition, informative markings are provided indicating both the minimum (300 mL) and maximum (1.7 liters) amount of liquid. However the window itself is not transparent, but tinted, so sometimes you have to peer.

Bosch TWK 7901 is equipped with a large plastic handle, which is designed to protect the user to the maximum from the risk of burns. The lid of the device handles with the same task, which leans back at the touch of a button on the handle. Opening occurs slightly less than 90 degrees. But due to the correct cylindrical shape of the flask, this will not become an obstacle for comfortable cleaning of the inner walls of the device.

A wide spout with a removable filter allows you to pour water into cups or glasses without splashing, eliminating the ingress of scale.

Bosch kettles are traditionally in good standing, and the TWK 7901 model is no exception. If the noise level is not critical for you, then be sure to take a closer look at the model.

Retro design is in fashion today, which is why the demand for the Gorenje K 17 CLI is actively growing. In the line of the Slovenian manufacturer there are many pieces of kitchen appliances in the appropriate design, with which this kettle will make a win-win tandem. For example, it will be ideally combined with the Gorenje NRK 621 CLI refrigerator or the GW 65 CL hob.

With its metal body and its shape, the location of the handle, the size of the spout and even the beige coloring, the device resembles classic kettles that are heated on the stove.

Gorenje K 17 CLI holds 1.7 liters of water, which, thanks to its 1850 W power, can be boiled in about 6 minutes. A useful feature of the model should be thermometerlocated on the front of the case. It will allow you to control the temperature inside the flask, both during the heating process and during the idle time of the kettle.

On the opposite side of the spout is a water level indicator.

There are plastic inserts on the lid and handle that will not allow you to get burned. The heating element of the kettle and the electrical wiring will be protected by the automatic shutdown function and overheating protection.

By the way, the Gorenje K 17 CLI has a removable lid, which will help you quickly fill the kettle. But the hole itself has a rather small diameter, which, together with the handle above it, will make it difficult to clean the flask from scale. This can be considered a minus of the model. A minor flaw, according to users, is the too compact and seemingly fragile power button.

The stand, like the models in modern design, is swivel. From below it has an anti-slip coating and a compartment for winding a metre power cord.

Gorenje K 17 CLI will suit owners of a retro-style kitchen, as well as those who appreciate the design features of classic kettles. And the presence of a thermometer will be another reason to choose this metal model.

Many people associate the DeLonghi trademark with coffee machines and coffee makers. But in the brand line there is also other popular household appliances with interesting design solutions.

The electric kettle with article number KBOV 2001 represents the original Icona Vintage series. The product is made in vintage design, available in five colours. Characteristic details of the design, in addition to the shape characteristic of tea service items, are chrome-plated surfaces with elegant textured details. By the way, other small household appliances of the manufacturer have a similar design, for example, the De'Longhi CTOV 2003 toaster.

De'Longhi KBOV 2001 received a 1.7-liter steel flask and a minimum of plastic parts inside (there are only insulating gaskets made of this material), which distinguishes the model from many metal counterparts with plastic lids, spouts and other inserts. The plastic is mostly taken out: a handle, a coating on the lid and a power button are made of it, designed to protect against burns.

The protection system involves automatic shutdown when boiling and blocking the inclusion without water.

Under the handle of the kettle is a water level indicator. An additional scale is also available on the inner wall, which will simplify control when pouring liquid. Filled to the max mark, the device boils faster than in 6 minutes, which provides a moderately noisy 2000-watt heating element.

The lid of the De'Longhi KBOV 2001 is completely removable, which will help when cleaning the flask from contamination. According to users, it is even too tightly fixed on the case so as not to accidentally fall out when the device is tilted. Therefore, the process of removing the cover is slightly difficult.

In general, the model of the Italian brand pleasantly stands out among the many similar solutions on the market, which is why it is able to bribe connoisseurs of beauty. But in terms of reliability and practicality, the kettle also meets modern needs.

Philips electric kettles are backed by 60 years of manufacturing experience, which guarantees reliability, durability and high overall product quality.

The Philips HD 9357 model has a metal flask, a spout and a lid that opens 90 degrees at the touch of a button on the handle. As a result, the teapot looks expensive and attractive in any of three colour options — black, blue, silver. The design is complemented by a pleasant blue illumination of the power button and transparent water level indicators. The latter are located on both sides, which simplifies the control of the amount of liquid.

The handle is made of plastic. There are plastic elements inside the flask, for example, on the inside of the lid. But all materials are safe from the point of view of food contact.

Philips HD 9357 is equipped with a 2200W heating element. It allows you to boil a full volume of a kettle of 1.7 liters in about 5 minutes. In addition, according to user reviews, the device works quite quietly, as for metal models.

The kettle turns off automatically as soon as the water boils, and does not turn on if the flask is empty.

In Philips HD 9357 small features of operation are thought over. For example, it is possible to fill through the main opening or spout. The latter is equipped with a removable micro-mesh filter, which, according to the manufacturer, retains scale particles as small as 200 microns. There is also a cord storage system, anti-slip base and the ability to rotate the case on the stand.

Of the shortcomings, it is worth highlighting the easily soiled glossy surfaces, but you can remove dirt from the metal with an ordinary rag.

Philips HD 9357 is one of the best metal kettles in the middle price segment. In addition to a pleasant backlight, it does not have any additional functions, but does an excellent job with its main task.
