"Who needs boiling water?" – TOP 5 teapots with a glass flask

One of the most low-cost models of electric kettles. The device is one of the best in its price segment. The power of the electric kettle is 2200 watts, and judging from the actual experience of use, it allows you to heat a large volume of water in 6-7 minutes. It holds a maximum of 1.8 liters. The kettle is quiet during operation.

Attractive appearance, the possibility of compact storage of a cord 75 centimeters long. The main flask is made of durable glass, and the lower rim of the container is made of stainless steel. The electrical part is mostly insulated with plastic fragments, which eventually begin to emit an unpleasant odour, which is a disadvantage of this model.

The kettle can be rotated 360 degrees thanks to the round bottom platform. There is a pleasant illumination for the eye, and because of the transparent flask, boiling water looks good in the dark. There is protection against overheating — when a sufficient amount of steam accumulates in the area of the power button, the kettle automatically turns off. Also, the device cannot be turned on if there is no water in it.

Scarlett has also installed a special anti-scale filter. The lid is opened using the button that is located on it. Not a very convenient solution, because often such buttons get very hot and can burn your hand with hot steam.

Inexpensive, stylish, heavy. This is how you can characterize the teapot model from the German brand Profi Cook. The device is made in high-tech style. The kettle body is almost entirely made of glass, but there are metal inserts and the handle is made of plastic. The PC-WKS 1107 weighs a little more than two kilograms — yes, it's heavy, but it doesn't really affect everyday use. The spout of the device is made of metal — a clear advantage, because glass or plastic are unreliable and can break when trying to pour water into a mug.

The cable length is 75 cm. If this cable is short for you, you can buy a surge protector. The water heats up quickly at a power of 2200 watts. As practice shows, the kettle does not turn off immediately after the water boils — it works for about 10 more seconds and starts shaking on the table, and it shouldn't be like that.

The case has a second class of electrical protection, so the consumer does not need to worry about his safety — the manufacturer did it for him.

Of the chips, we note the presence of a lid opening button on the handle. This is convenient: the button does not heat up, and when you open the lid, you will not be burned by hot steam. But the lid is not of very good quality — judging from real operating experience, it is prone to breakage, so Profi Cook PC-WKS 1107 is more suitable for cautious people.

The glass bulb holds only 1.5 liters of liquid, although there is no backlight, unlike other electric kettles with a glass bulb.

If you want to surprise your neighbors or friends with a kettle with a solid appearance, you can safely purchase a model from Profi Cook.

A teapot from the French brand Tefal costs about $ 57 at the time of publication of this material. The case is made of stainless steel, plastic and tempered heavy-duty Tefal Glass. With active use, fingerprints are strongly visible on the lid and glass flask, but they are quickly wiped off. This is especially evident on the model with a black handle, but you can buy a Tefal Kl730132 electric kettle with a white handle — then scratches and fingerprints will not be particularly noticeable.

The power consumption is 2200 watts. It is enough to boil the maximum allowable volume of water (1.7 liters) in 5-7 minutes.

The device is made of natural ingredients and absolutely does not change the taste of water after heating, but, as the practice of real users shows, if you boil water from the tap, a plaque quickly forms on the walls of the glass flask.

The lid opens with a button on the handle. The backlight is blue, and when the water boils, it looks attractive.

The device weighs 1.5 kg, which may seem a lot for the fairer sex. The heating element is hidden at the bottom of the kettle, as in many other models. Do not worry that the glass bulb may crack or separate from the bottom of the kettle, because it is made of fairly durable glass. But with the upper part of the device, things are different — water begins to flow out between the bulb and the upper metal part over time, which indicates poor tightness.

In the catalog of electric kettles of the English manufacturer of household appliances there is a Kenwood ZJG 112 CL device, the body of which is made in high-tech style and can fit into any modern kitchen. The handle and the lower part of the device are made of plastic. This material cannot be called bad, but it often makes devices cheap.

The cable has a length of 70 cm and it can be harmoniously hidden so that it is not visible on the table and it does not spoil the overall interior of the kitchen. If you can put the kettle close to the outlet or you have a mains filter, then you can safely buy this device.

Under the handle there is a power button that lights up while the kettle is running. There is no internal illumination in this model. If this is important to you, you should look at other illuminated kettles. The spout is made in an extremely unusual way, which may make it seem that the water is poured somehow badly, but you can get used to it. Inside the kettle there is a tube that determines the level of steam and promotes instant disconnection of the device after operation.

The flask holds 1.7 liters of water, and a power of 2200 watts allows you to heat the maximum volume of liquid in just 4-5 minutes. But the kettle is noisy, and when it boils, the button clicks loudly and creates some discomfort. Still, the price for such a model is overstated. There is more emphasis on the promotion of the KENWOOD brand than on the kettle itself.

The model from the German manufacturer, which is slightly more expensive than the Kenwood ZJG 112 CL, puts an end to today's TOP. This device is made in a cylindrical shape in solid black, but in fact it collects a lot of fingerprints and small scratches, which is not good. Bosch has placed the main emphasis on protection. If you have a small child in your house who is interested in pressing different buttons, including on the kettle, then this model is for you. There are the following levels of protection: does not turn on if the lid is open; does not continue the water heating process if the device has been removed from the electrical platform (Bosch Lift-Switch-Off technology); does not work without water.

Speaking of technical characteristics, the main body is made of glass, there are stainless steel inserts above and below the bulb. The kettle's power of 2400 watts allows you to heat the maximum volume of water (1.7 liters) in 4-5 minutes. The cable is not very long – about a metre, and it can be hidden in a separate substation, on which the kettle is placed. There is a removable anti-scale filter on the lid, but it does not really save from getting plaque into the mug because of the large holes in the spout. It is necessary to regularly wash the kettle from plaque.

The power and lid opening buttons are located together on the handle. The first one lights up when the kettle is on. Unfortunately, there is no internal illumination, but with the above list of protective functions, this factor cannot be attributed to disadvantages (even the Kenwood ZJG 112 CL is not so protected, although it is not much cheaper).
