Drink coffee, drink tea - get pleasure - what kind of electric kettle to buy for an office or for a large family

Many of us associate the morning of a new day with a mug of an invigorating drink - some have coffee, some have tea. And for the quick preparation of a morning charge, we need a reliable electric kettle.

How to choose an electric kettle

When buying an electric kettle, experts recommend paying attention to the following indicators:

· Power. The rate of transformation of warm water into boiling water depends on it. The recommended power for a home appliance is up to 2.5 kW. A kettle with this indicator can heat 1.5 liters of water in just 4 minutes.

· Volume - depends on the number of users. For single people or married couples without children, a 1.5 liter model is sufficient. If the kettle is taken to a family with children, an office or a dorm room (with the number of tenants from 3 people), then it is better to purchase a volume of 2-3 liters.

· Type of placement of the heating element. Open-type electric kettles (when the heating element comes into contact with water) are cheaper, but also problems with them more - scale forms faster, which is why the taste of the drinks spoils and the heating time increases. Closed-type electric kettles go longer without cleaning, and getting rid of scale is easier.

For some, additional functions may be important - the presence of a protective grid against scale, backlight, blocking of heating in the absence of water.

AKAI KM-1012Y kettle - pros and cons

The first impression the AKAI KM-1012Y kettle made with its color - it was bought on a rainy day, when I so wanted the sun and warmth. Since the brand is not well known, there were concerns about the quality of the power tool, but months of use dispelled all doubts.

The case is sturdy, made of stainless steel and decorated with plastic. The matte surface hides small scratches that have appeared during use.
