Choosing an electric kettle is a rather complicated matter. Among the variety of firms, colors, sizes and prices you can simply get lost. Therefore, before buying, you need to imagine which kettle you need.
Electric kettles differ in both appearance and internal structure and the presence of additional functions.
Volume. With the volume, everything is quite simple, you need to proceed from the number of family members. For a large family, it is better to purchase a large kettle of 1.5-2 liters.
Appearance. Every woman knows that any electrical appliance, in addition to its basic functions, must also fit into the interior. And the kettle is no exception, so when choosing it, it is important to consider the colors that prevail in the kitchen.
Power. The greater the power of an electric kettle, the faster it heats the water. But, we must take into account the fact that too powerful kettles consume a lot of electricity, and also give a big load on the network. Therefore, you should not choose a kettle with a power of more than 1.5-2 thousand watts.
Material. In stores there are glass, ceramic, metal, as well as plastic teapots. The latter are the cheapest and most popular. Plastic can be of high quality or not so, therefore, after boiling, water acquires the characteristic smell of plastic.
Models made of metal, ceramics and glass are considered to be of higher quality, therefore they are more expensive. Glass teapots are the most environmentally friendly, but rather fragile. Metal - the most durable and unpretentious. A ceramic teapot will keep the water hot for a long time.
Filter. The presence in the kettle of a filter from scale and chemical compounds will save not only your health, but also the appliance itself. After all, everyone knows that scale quickly destroys heating elements.
