Will not turn on empty, there is an indication of turning on. There is a compartment for the cord, the cord itself is short. No descaling filter. The case is black, without a liquid level indicator.

Just an ordinary kettle, no chips and bells and whistles. It will cope with the task of boiling without problems, only it will take longer than with other models. No unpleasant odors, inside - stainless coating. For that kind of money, you shouldn't expect much from such a technique. An excellent office option, suitable for a summer residence.
REDMOND RK-M183
Volume - 1.7 L, power - 2200 watts. The heating element is a closed spiral. Of the features - blocking the inclusion without water, blocking the cover. It is highlighted from the inside during operation. There is a descaling filter, an indication of inclusion, a water level indicator, a compartment for the cord, but the cord itself is short - 0.7 m. Price - .
Pros:
- boils quickly;
- great design;
- backlight.
Minuses:
- short power cable;
- smells like plastic.
Nice kettle and inexpensive. The design is great, the backlight is very pleasing when working. Heats up quickly, keeps warm for a long time. The volume of 1.7 liters is enough for the whole family to drink tea. Explicitly going to China because it has the smell of cheap plastic. But it does not occur with prolonged use, such as, for example, Bosch TWK 7804/7805/7808/7809, because the assembly is of high quality. A good electric kettle for the home.
Bosch TWK 7804/7805/7808/7809
Outwardly handsome. Volume - 1.7 liters, power - 2200 W. The heating element is a closed spiral. Protected against overheating. The liquid level indicator is located behind the handle, which is not too convenient. There is poor lighting during operation, but there is no such beautiful lighting as in the REDMOND RK-M183. Filter, blocking of inclusion without water, blocking of the lid, the lid is opened with a separate button. Price - .
Pros:
- Beautiful design;
- no smell;
- quiet.
Minuses:
- after a while begins to flow;
- uncomfortable level indicator.
The main disadvantage of this sample is that it flows. Users in reviews also complain about this.After some time (from a month to six months), it begins to leak. An indication of the liquid level is located under the handle, which is inconvenient, easier to determine by eye. The model boils more slowly than competitors. Its main advantage is its excellent design. If this is a decisive factor for you, then you will like this kettle, I do not recommend the rest.
Tefal KI 270D Confidence
The design does not shine - silver metal with black plastic. Volume - 1.7 liters. Power - 2400 W. The heating element is a closed spiral. There is a filter from scale, a level indicator: as in Bosch TWK, it is located under the handle, which is inconvenient, it fogs up during operation. There is a power indicator. There are no locks or protection. Price - .
Pros:
- wide spout with filter;
- boils quickly;
- indication of work.
Minuses:
- inconvenient indication of liquid level;
- the minimum volume for work is 0.8 liters.
If you need an ordinary kettle so that it does not leak, does not have bad smells, then it is best to buy Home element HE-KT-193 for than 2400 for this option. They are no different, they work and boil in the same way, there is no point in paying more. The Home Element does not have a liquid indicator, but this kettle does, but here it is not located in the most convenient place, it fogs up during operation. Tefal KI 270D also turns on only when there is a sufficient water level. Better to look at other options than spending money on this technique.
Tesler KT-1755
With each model, the price rises, but the functionality does not. This teapot has a wide range of colors. The design is nice. Volume - 1.7 liters. Power - 2000 watts. Boils quickly, in 3 minutes. Empty is not included. There is an anti-scale filter, a power and water level indicator, which, like in Bosch and Tefal, is located under the handle. Disabled when removed from the stand. Price - .
Pros:
- build quality;
- design;
- boils quickly.
Minus:
- inconvenient location of the level indicator.
Doesn't leak like Bosch TWK, doesn't smell like plastic like REDMOND RK-M183. Tesler KT-1755 will steadily do its job for years. It has an inconvenient location of the water level indicator (behind the handle), but does not fog up, as in Tefal. This is a reliable, good sample to buy.
Gorenje K17CLI
This model stands out for its unusual design: it is a very beautiful stainless steel teapot. The level indicator is located on the side, but since the knob is on top, it does not cover the indication. There is a thermometer on the device itself: you can monitor the temperature both before boiling and after. There is an indication of turning on, blocking switching on without water. Volume - 1.7 L Power - 1850 W. The lid is removable, unlike all previous TOP participants. Price - .
Pros:
- Beautiful design;
- good build quality;
- there is a thermometer.
Minuses:
- boils for a long time;
- cools quickly.
Very interesting and beautiful retro style design. There is a thermometer, which can be very useful for some purposes. Removable lid: steam can disinfect items or utensils. Of the minuses - only low power: after all, 1850 watts is not 2200, it boils 1.7 liters longer than its competitors. But this is nit-picking: a kettle is very beautiful, if it fits the interior of your kitchen - take it and don’t worry, there are no problems here.
Polaris PWK 1741CA
Design similar to Gorenje K17CLI. They are similar in both the maximum volume - 1.7 liters, and the built-in thermometer that displays the current water temperature. Polaris PWK 1741CA will be more powerful than Gorenje - 2200 W, so it boils faster. Built-in anti-scale filter, removable lid. The kettle will not turn on when empty. The level indicator is located on the side, as in Gorenje. Price - .
Pros:
- nice design;
- boils quickly;
- there is a temperature sensor.
There are no downsides.
Wonderful teapot with a vintage design. His main competitor is Gorenje K17CLI, which he bypassed. The Polaris PWK has no problem cooling quickly. The model is more powerful than Gorenje and due to this it boils faster. If you choose a kettle in retro style, I can recommend this particular teapot, since it will be less problematic, more powerful, and will delight you with an amazing view in the kitchen.
REDMOND SkyKettle M171S
This is the first Smart kettle in the ranking. Its volume is 1.7 liters. Power - 2400 W. Its design is standard, the body is metal, inside there is not the best quality plastic, it has an unpleasant smell. Built-in filter and power-on lock function with empty tank.There is a thermostat that can heat water to a certain temperature and maintain it. The kettle automatically turns off when removed from the stand. There is a water level indicator, located conveniently, and not like in the Tesler KT-1755 or Tefal KL 270D. The main feature of this teapot is remote control from a smartphone on Android or iOS. You can control both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The user will be able to select the desired temperature (optionally boiling) and the time to maintain it (up to 12 hours) - the kettle will do everything at home, you have come home - a cup of coffee has been brewed. Price - .
Pros:
- Beautiful design;
- convenience of remote control;
- functionality.
Minuses:
- easily accessible cover (glossy plastic);
- it smells like plastic.
When you purchase the REDMOND SkyKettle M171S during the first use, you will hear the smell of cheap plastic, but over time it will pass. The manufacturer claimed a lock-up without water. In fact, protection against overheating is triggered with a probability of 50 to 50, so it is better to make sure that it is not empty. In general, the kettle is very good, technological. You can turn it on half an hour before returning, so that when you come home, immediately brew a mug of tea or coffee. This causes a certain “wow” effect. The price is not too high, so for your money this is a good option.
Philips HD9359 Avance Collection
The kettle has a standard design. Materials - stainless steel and black matte plastic. Functional stand - power key, heating from 40 to 100 degrees in increments of 200 and keeping warm. Built-in power lock without water. Volume - 1.7 L Power - 2200 watts. The descaling filter is made of nylon. There is an indication of inclusion. The water level indicator is located uncomfortably under the handle. When working, it beautifully illuminates the water, as, for example, the REDMOND RK-M183 does. Price - .
Pros:
- appearance;
- temperature selection;
- backlight;
- wide nose.
Minuses:
- no thermometer;
- the lid opens sharply.
There are no technological "bells and whistles", as in the REDMOND SkyKettle M171S. This is a good kettle that will cope with its task. Assembled efficiently, does not leak. There is enough power for quick boiling. The ability to select the temperature will allow you to warm the water to the desired and continue to maintain it. The functionality is comparable to REDMOND, only that was controlled from a smartphone, and Philips - a functional stand. For such a price I would like to see a thermometer, but they didn’t bring it here. The lid opens sharply, so sometimes droplets of hot water may splatter. But such disadvantages are not significant.
De’Longhi KBOV 2001
Volume - 1.7 L Power - 2000 watts. The type of heating element is a closed spiral; its coating is stainless steel. Lock on without water, there is a removable cover. The nozzle has a built-in descaling filter. There is a power indicator, there is an auto power off when removed from the stand. The water level indicator is located under the handle, which is inconvenient. Price - .
Pros:
- nice design;
- comfortable in using.
Minuses:
- inconveniently located water level scale;
- boils water for a long time.
The kettle is mainly bought for its aesthetically pleasing design. From a functional point of view, the kettle does not show anything interesting - only boiling water to 100 degrees. That is, you can’t even choose a temperature, such as in the Philips HD9359 or REDMOND SkyKettle M171S. It is unclear why give for a kettle that can’t do anything when there are other models - functional, high-quality and cheap.
KitchenAid 5KEK1222
Along with De’Longhi KBOV 2001, the design is at a high level, and with functionality it’s really bad. Behind we get a meager volume - 1.25 liters, power - 2200 watts. The most standard switch-on lock without water. The kettle has a removable lid, a descaling filter in the spout and a power indicator. There is also a button to turn on / off the device. It's all.
Pros:
- stylish design;
- comfortable handle.
Minuses:
- small volume;
- noisy;
- no water level scale.
It is not clear who will need this particular teapot. There is no water level indicator, it will have to be determined by eye in the old way. It makes a lot of noise. It has a scanty volume, which with a stretch is enough for 4-5 people. And this is for without offering any technology in return? This is a banal heating of water to 100 degrees.With the same success it is possible to recommend to buy Home Element HE-KT-193, he also copes with this task. It is better to take the Philips HD9359 two times cheaper: save money and be glad. If you really like the design and there are an extra 11 thousand, then you can buy it.
Smeg KLF03
As in KitchenAid 5KEK1222 there is only a beautiful design, a high, unjustified price, and that’s it. Its price is . We get a 1.7 liter device with 2400 watts of power. There is a stainless steel filter. become. Standard lock-on without water, auto-off when removing it from the base or when boiling. There is a water level indicator, located under the handle, like all other similar teapots - this is inconvenient. The base of the device rotates 360 °, which most dummies have. That's all, no interesting “chips” or features here.
Pros:
- nice design;
- works quietly;
- high power.
Minuses:
- leaking;
- heavy;
- low quality.
There are no functional features, which means that it must have a high build quality, because it costs a lot of money. But no. The lid opens when the button is pressed in strongly; leaks occur under the liquid level indicator. With prolonged use, the paint begins to crumble. With a weight of 1.7 kg, if it is poured to the maximum, 3.4 kg will be obtained, which is very difficult to spill. Nobody needs such a device. You can only highlight the possibility of boiling up to 100 degrees and a design that is a matter of taste for everyone. Buying smeg KLF03 is completely pointless.
