BUYING GUIDE: Smart Electric Kettles
Smart electric kettles can be controlled through IFTTT devices, phone applications whereas in normal ones you need to start them or stop them manually.
Yet another feature is that generally smart kettles have pre-designed temperature settings for different beverages.
Lastly, smart electric kettles work on electricity whereas the normal ones need gas/fuel to burn.
Temperature settings:
Some of the beverages do not require boiling water whereas others might require it. A smart electric kettle has pre-designed temperature settings depending on the beverage that you opt for.
Cords:
Some kettles have cords attached to them that are visible while the others have a base that holds the cord.
Swivel base smart kettles are best suited as they are comfortable for all people without bothering about being a right-handed or left-handed person.
Power consumption:
Generally smart electric kettles have 1500 watts capacity. The greater the power consumption leads to more noise while boiling. It also adds to the electricity usage bills. But it saves time.
Capacity:
Mostly the smart electric kettles hold 10 to 12 cups of a beverage that translates to 1.7 liters. You can also choose to have small electric kettles that hold 1.5 liters of the beverage.
Filter:
Smart electric kettles do have filters to prevent unwanted elements from entering the cup. These are sometimes washable and reusable or need to be replaced.
Periodic replacement of filters adds to the recurring cost.
Water gauge:
Some of the water kettles have a transparent water gauge that allows the user to see the quantity of beverage left in the kettle.
Weight:
The weight of the kettle is an important consideration if elders or children are going to use it. This is because the kettle itself might be heavy and seem to be bulkier with the hot drink filled up inside it.
Material used:
Some of the kettles use steel whereas others use high-grade plastic or glass. Glass is prone to breakage whereas plastic is hazardous for health. So while opting for an electric kettle these points should be considered.
Warranty:
Some of the electric kettles have a two-year warranty on the product. Anyone spending a hefty amount on purchasing the electric kettle should look into this aspect while purchasing.
Insulation:
Generally, when you heat the liquid inside the kettle the outer body of the kettle also tends to get hot. So before you buy you need to read the reviews to see if the product is well insulated to save your fingers from being burnt.
Aesthetic appeal:
For some people, looks do matter a lot apart from the actual usage. Hence you need to look into this aspect especially if you want your kitchen to look great!
Foot space:
All devices need foot space. Some kettles have a feature that enables the cord to be wrapped under it whereas the others don’t have that feature.
Apart from that, you need to be clear about the size. Depending on the number of cups that you need to prepare you can choose the size of the kettle.
Add-on features:
Electric kettles do have certain add-on features like auto shut-off or keep warm. These functions add to the utility of the product and help if you have a large family.
Auto shut off ensures that the kettle is not running unnecessarily after reaching a specific temperature.
Keep warm ensures that the desired temperature is maintained till the time you pour the liquid out of the kettle.
Noise:
This might not be the number one thing to be considered but if you are going to use the kettle in the office then this fact needs attention as some kettles do make a great noise.
Dry boil protection: This feature should be present in the kettle to prevent it from heating when it is filled to maximum capacity.
The kettle should not be turned on when it is empty. Running an empty kettle can destroy it.
Lime-scale builds up if you store the contents inside the kettle for a long duration. This should be avoided.
Cleaning the kettle is a must after every single use to enhance its productivity.
The kettle handle should be made of a sturdy material that does not slip to avoid injuries and accidents.
The exteriors of the kettle can be cleaned with a plain white cloth.
For cleaning the interiors you need to fill the half kettle, add 15 to 20 drops of vinegar to it, and boil it. Later on, you can use a scrub pad to clean it and rinse again with clean water. This helps to remove the limescale.
We hope that our review and buying guide helps you in choosing the best smart electric kettle for yourself. If you have any suggestions or concerns do let us know in the comments section.
