What is a thermostat kettle, a brief overview of modern models

The era of home appliances with minimal functionality is long gone. Modern technologies allow not only to achieve high productivity, but also to make the device as user-friendly as possible. An important point is also giving it a stylish and sophisticated design. These positive qualities can be safely attributed to such a category of household “helpers” as a kettle with temperature control.

Why is a kettle with a thermostat so good? The main differences from an ordinary teapot

A device based on a thermostat has a special principle of operation, which consists in setting the user to the desired temperature regime. This means that it is possible to set, for example, the average temperature of the water, and it is not necessary to bring the liquid to a boil. Such a function is very convenient: you do not need to wait near the kettle and seize the moment when you need to turn it off.

In addition to the ability to set the temperature level, an electric kettle with a temperature regulator automatically maintains fluid in this range. When water is cooled, a special sensor is triggered, the device turns on, heats the liquid and turns off again. All processes occur without user intervention.

Compared with an ordinary electric kettle, a device with a temperature regulator has several advantages:

1. Water heating and temperature maintenance are automatic. For this, the sensors and other electronic elements installed in the device are responsible.
2. Such devices are more powerful, and with proper operation will provide the user with significant energy savings.
3. Kettles with a temperature regulator are available in large volumes, this allows you to purchase both for family needs and for the work team.
4. The devices are recently released, therefore they have the most modern and attractive design. Perfectly in harmony with the design of any room.

What to look for when choosing the right model

When buying such a device, the choice should be taken with full responsibility. The further operation of the device and its durability will depend on this.

The main types of temperature controllers

The temperature regulator is the main element because of which these teapots are classified as completely separate household appliances. Therefore, you should know that there are temperature regulators:

1. Stepless principle of action. A high-precision resistor or rheostat is installed, which allows you to smoothly change the required temperature regime.
2. Stepped principle of action. A specific heating step is set in the device from the manufacturer, which cannot be changed.

It is more convenient and practical to choose stepless thermostats, they allow you to very accurately heat the liquid. Such a device is simply indispensable for tea gourmets.

Kettle capacity

Usually, users do not want to dial the kettle several times. This is especially true for large companies or a work team in which half of the employees simply do not have enough hot water. This situation is more offensive if it occurs during the lunch break, when the time is running for almost seconds.

It is more convenient to purchase an electric kettle, the capacity of which starts from two liters.But if its purchase is carried out for a family in which there are two adults and a child, then 1.2-1.7 liters will be enough.

Power is the main parameter

If a kettle with a temperature controller is purchased for the work team, then in addition to the large volume, you should also choose high power. This will allow you to heat several liters of water in a short period of time. As a "family" option, it is enough to stop on a device whose power will not exceed 2.2 kW.

Type of heating element

On the type of heating element should stop. The choice of a heating element relates not only to the quality of operation of the device, but also to ensuring the necessary safety during operation.

The heating element of the kettle with a temperature controller may be as follows:

1. Open type. Immediate contact of the element with water. The main advantage of this arrangement is the quiet operation of the device. From the point of view of electrical safety, this is not entirely relevant: the heating element may burn out and short circuit in water, a short circuit will go further along the circuit. This situation is fraught with fire.
2. Closed type. Now the most relevant installation option. The heating element is hidden by the disk, and the spiral does not have direct contact with the liquid. In this type of device, heating is much faster.

The first option is practically not used in modern household appliances. Due to constant contact with water, the spiral quickly becomes unusable. The heating element, covered by a disk, will last longer, it is easier to clean. But the cost of the closed type is much higher.

The choice of material from which the kettle body is made

This parameter also needs to be approached seriously. The duration of its operation directly depends on the material of the body of the kettle with a thermostat. The most common is plastic, many users choose it because of the affordable price. But with frequent heating and cooling, a characteristic plastic odor may appear that cannot be eliminated.

The second most famous material is stainless steel or high quality aluminum. These metals have a long life, mechanical damage such as scratches and scuffs are almost invisible on their surface. Aluminum and steel look very noble, but they heat up very quickly and transfer heat.

The most expensive variety of materials include tempered glass. Its service life is the same as that of the above metals, not less. Unfortunately, glass is more susceptible to mechanical damage, afraid of shocks and chips.

Some additional features that will benefit

In addition to its main functions - heating water and maintaining a given temperature, devices with temperature conditions can be equipped with additional functionality. First of all, some protective elements should be attributed to useful additions.

1. Automatic shutdown of the device in case of overheating of the case or other elements (temperature regulator, sensors, etc.).
2. Lock the kettle on if there is not enough water in it. This creates additional protection for the heating element, as some users do not always pay attention to the presence of liquid in the kettle.
3. The presence of a device that smoothly turns off the device in the event of a sudden power outage. When power is restored, the kettle will not turn on by itself.
4. Very convenient and safe is the function of locking the lid. With a sharp opening of the lid, immediately after boiling water, the user may suffer from steam.Therefore, a certain time must pass. Such protection is indispensable, especially if the house has small children.

Some interesting elements cannot be attributed to useful functionality; they will complement the device and make its appearance more beautiful. For example, ordinary illumination brings certain benefits: the color changes at the same time as the temperature of the liquid changes. Cold water will be highlighted in blue, hot - in red. Between these two temperatures several more shades may be present.

Useful extras such as descaling filters are installed in modern models. Elements with the function of cleaning the liquid not only increase the time intervals through which it is necessary to clean the device, but also extend the life of the heating element. Also, it is considered very convenient to have a display on which the necessary information is displayed: water temperature, selection of the appropriate mode, liquid level scale, etc.

Cost

The fact that the cost of a teapot with a thermostat is higher than usual is obvious. But the user does not buy a cat in a poke, he becomes the owner of an automated device that constantly maintains a given temperature of the liquid and saves the main resource - time. Having a kettle with a thermostat, you do not have to wait until the water boils - just set the desired parameter in the morning and enjoy your favorite drinks such as tea or coffee all day.

There is also the option of buying an inexpensive device without additional functionality. The cost of such a device with a temperature regulator will not be too different from an ordinary kettle.

What to choose: a kettle with a temperature regulator or a thermal sweat?

From the above information, you can learn a little about the main features of a device with a thermostat. The main useful properties are the ability to set a given temperature, as well as its maintenance. But there is another kind of similar household appliances - thermal sweat.

The principle of operation of thermopots is quite simple: these devices combine the practicality of an ordinary kettle and the productivity of a thermos. That is, thermopots not only heat water - they maintain its temperature for a long time without any energy costs.

The main disadvantage of thermal sweat is its high cost. But such devices have a large volume (up to 8 liters), respectively, there is a certain savings. It is enough to heat the required amount of water once, and it can be used for a long period of time.

A teapot with a temperature regulator is more expensive, but it allows you to maintain the temperature, and this is very important, especially if there is no extra time.
