The best electric kettles with a glass bulb

The Chinese company Xiaomi has earned a reputation for producing electronics and household goods at affordable prices. And the electric kettle was no exception, offering the buyer good value for money. The first thing that attracts attention when looking at it is the design. The main part of the body is made of transparent glass, which allows you to control the fullness, the process itself and the amount of scale formed. Borosilicate glass is highly durable, resistant to high and low temperatures, odorless and does not in any way affect the taste or quality of water. The handle is made of plastic, which does not heat up when boiling water and eliminates the risk of burns.

The highlight of the design is the LED backlight, which lights up while the device is operating. Thanks to it, the electric kettle looks especially impressive at night and in poor lighting.

The volume of the model is 1.7 liters, which is enough for 5 – 7 cups of tea, coffee and other drinks. On the sides of the flask there is a measuring scale indicating the minimum and maximum water level. The 2200 W hidden heating element ensures fast heating - it only takes 5 minutes to boil water. For safety reasons, the device automatically turns off after the liquid boils and if there is no water in the kettle.

There is a filter inside the spout that traps scale and plaque particles, preventing them from getting into the cup. This filter can be removed for cleaning. There is also a button to open the lid for convenient use. This prevents the risk of being scalded by the steam and makes it easier to add water. The kettle weighs only 1.1 kg, so it can be easily held in one hand.

An electric kettle from the well-known manufacturer of household appliances Gorenje is inexpensive and has all the functions necessary for convenient use. The power of the heating element hidden inside is 2200 W, providing boiling water in a matter of minutes. The volume of 1.7 liters is enough for a family of several people, even if friends or relatives come to visit. There is a measuring scale on the side of the body that shows the minimum and maximum permissible water levels. Despite the fact that the kettle heats the contents quickly enough, it is not too noisy and will not cause discomfort to household members.

The spout is equipped with a filter that traps scale particles. This is important, as they can ruin the taste of the drink. In addition, you can use not only purified, but also hard tap water. The filter is easily removed for cleaning. And the Strix thermostat ensures safe operation and extends the life of the device by protecting it from overheating. Safety mechanisms stop heating if the water has boiled or you try to turn on the kettle with an empty flask.

The appearance of the model deserves special attention: the classic design in the style of minimalism can be safely called universal, that is, it will harmoniously fit into any kitchen interior. The body is made of transparent glass, and its upper and lower parts are made of metal. The backlight turns on while the kettle is operating. In daylight it is not very visible, but in the dark it adds bright colors to the device.

The electric kettle is also convenient to use thanks to the lid that opens at the touch of a button.

The Tefal electric kettle can safely be called a reliable “workhorse” for active everyday use. Thanks to the power of 2200 W, water boils quickly, and the volume of 1.7 liters allows you to serve tea to a large group. Concealed stainless steel coated heating element ensures even heating. The filter installed in the spout traps scale particles and makes it possible to use any water - both purified and hard tap water. This filter is removable, making it easy to clean.

Of course, the manufacturer also took care of safety issues by adding a protective mechanism against overheating. The kettle automatically turns off when the water boils and also refuses to work with an empty flask.

Tefal Glass kettle KI740B30 is not only practical and reliable, but also quite attractive in appearance. The main part of the body is made of durable glass, which allows you to fully control the process. There are also metal and plastic inserts. But the real highlight is the blue backlight, which automatically lights up when the device is turned on and illuminates the glass bulb.

In addition, the model is easy to use. A measuring scale is applied to the body, which indicates the minimum and maximum water levels. During heating, the glass becomes hot, but the handle remains cold and completely safe. And the lid opens by pressing a button, protecting your hands from contact with hot steam. Perhaps the only drawback is that the lid is not opened completely, which makes it not very convenient to add water.

The electric kettle of the Polish brand Zelmer is a striking example of the fact that high-quality and multifunctional equipment can be inexpensive. This is a model with advanced features that costs the same as most conventional electric kettles with a standard set of options. Only its features include a thermostat, a thermometer, a display and a temperature maintenance mode.

So, the power of the device is 2200 W, thanks to which the water heats up quite quickly. Perhaps the main advantage is the presence of a thermostat. This means that the kettle allows you to manually set the required temperature, upon reaching which it automatically turns off. A total of 7 temperature modes are available - from 40 to 100 °C in increments of 10 degrees. This is very convenient for preparing different drinks: for example, the ideal temperature for brewing white tea is 60°C, and for green tea - 80°C. In this case, the selected settings and the current temperature of the water in the flask are displayed on a small display, which greatly simplifies the control of the equipment. In addition, there is a keep warm function, which uses heating at low power to ensure that the water remains hot without you having to boil it again.

It is also worth noting the presence of a high-quality Strix controller, which ensures stable operation of the device and contributes to a long service life of the equipment. Among other things, it is responsible for safe operation: if the water boils, the set temperature is reached, or there is no liquid in the flask, the kettle automatically turns off.

Of course, one cannot help but pay attention to the appearance of the model. There is nothing unique, bright or eye-catching here, but overall the design is quite nice and versatile for any kitchen interior. The main part of the body is made of transparent glass and shines effectively in the dark thanks to the backlight. There is a measuring scale on the sides. The usable volume is 1.7 liters, which means the kettle is suitable, including for large families. The lid opens easily with the press of a button, so you can hold the device and add water with one hand. And in the spout there is a filter that traps scale and prevents it from getting into the cup.

The Philips HD 9339/80 Series 5000 electric kettle features an elegant and practical design that combines the aesthetics of glass and metal. This model is not burdened with excessive functionality and is used exclusively for boiling water at home. The body of the device, which holds 1.7 liters of water, consists of a cylindrical glass flask sandwiched between a stainless steel top and bottom. The removable lid covering the neck, the base stand and the original handle are made of black heat-resistant plastic. On the side surfaces of the glass on both sides there are strokes of a water level indicator indicating the number of cups of the drink. The wide spout has a washable nylon microfilter that traps scale particles. And under the handle there is a lever heating switch.

Despite the decent power of the stainless steel heating element, amounting to 2200 W, the kettle was not at all impressive with its boiling speed. When filling the flask only halfway with water, it takes about 4 minutes to reach the boiling point, which cannot be considered an outstanding result. During heating, a blue ring LED built into the bottom of the housing simultaneously illuminates the water in the flask and the start switch lever. The power cord can be wound around the stand, adjusting the length to suit your needs. The device received a 2-year manufacturer's warranty. The kettle copes with the task adequately, and is also easy to clean and wash. But its price, in light of its functional simplicity, is definitely overpriced.
