Thermopot or kettle, which is better?

In this article you can learn: about the pros and cons of a thermopot and an electric kettle, their main features, as well as the differences.

Features of the thermopot

• You can pour a large amount of water. This is very convenient for a large family;
• There are thermostatting functions. This allows you to maintain the desired water temperature;
• Temperature adjustment.

To select a specific thermopot, pay attention to the heating adjustment. This is the most important part in this device, since it is responsible for the correct heating of drinks.

Pros:

• Saving electrical energy;
• Long service life;
• Prevents water from cooling due to its thermal insulation properties;
• Compact;
• Safe work process.

Even with such advantages, the thermopot has a number of disadvantages.

Flaws:

• Very long heating process. Typically the process is 25 minutes;
• Low power. It can only reach up to 800 V;
• The price for a thermopot is quite high. It starts from 2000 rubles;
• It's heavy in weight.

Features of an electric kettle

Nowadays, almost every person has an electric kettle. It is the main component in everyday activities. Here is a list of its main features:

• Automatically turns off after full warming up;
• Compact.It weighs little, so you can easily transport it to different places;
• The heating process is quick - this allows you not to spend a lot of time preparing a drink;
• Large volume. It depends on the price;
• Remote control using a smartphone.

Advantages:

1. Saving personal time. Since with one press of a button you can heat up a large volume of water and you don’t need to monitor the kettle, because when the water boils it will automatically turn off;
2. Safety. This is one of the key advantages of electric kettles. Nowadays, each device has a special cover that protects against contact with hot water;
3. An electric kettle can be placed anywhere, as long as there is an outlet nearby;
4. The design and appearance of the device is also pleasing to the human eye. The visual part of the device is also important. After all, when purchasing, this is the first thing that buyers pay attention to.

Flaws:

1. If an electric kettle is cheap, it can quickly break down and also negatively affect human health, since it is most likely made of low-quality materials. It is recommended to take the device from a material such as: glass, ceramics or stainless steel;
2. An electric kettle will accumulate scale over time. Because of this, the taste of the water may deteriorate and the device may become unusable. To prevent this from happening, you need to regularly descale the spiral. This way the electric kettle will work for a long time and the taste of the water will not deteriorate;
3. High consumption of electrical energy. This depends on the volume of the electric kettle and its serviceability. If there is scale inside the device, the heating process will take a long time and more power will be wasted.The larger the volume, the more electricity will be consumed.

Differences between an electric kettle and a thermopot

In terms of electrical energy consumption, an electric kettle is better than a thermopot, since it does not require a constant connection to the network, and the thermopot must always be connected to it, because it must maintain the temperature.

In terms of size and weight, the teapot wins again. It weighs less and is more compact.

For a thermopot, you need to regularly change the water filter. It follows from this that these are additional costs, and for an electric kettle you do not need to buy anything in addition. Thus, the device is more economical.

The body of electric kettles can heat up, but that of a thermopot does not. Therefore, in terms of safety, it is better, in addition, the device can keep water hot for a long time.

Regulating the heating temperature is one of the main differences between a thermopot and an electric kettle. This is undoubtedly a plus for a thermopot. In terms of functionality, the device is better, since it has:

• three or four thermostats;
• there is a child lock feature, which is also very useful if there are children in the family;
• water temperature adjustment function;
• When dropped, the cover of the device automatically locks.

As many as four indicators, which can determine the level:

• Water;
• Networks;
• Filter;
• Cleaning.

The kettle contains only:

• timer for starting the heating process;
• a function that blocks the electric kettle from turning on when there is no water in it;
• thermal heating;
• remote control of the electric kettle. This can be done using a smartphone.

Let's sum it up

If a person often travels or moves, then an electric kettle is best suited for him.If you live alone, then in this case it is also enough to buy some kind of electric kettle with a small volume. If we are considering an option for a family, then a thermopot is best suited, since it is large, safe for children and can maintain the water temperature for a long time. Each of them has its own pros and cons; here you need to consider what is more suitable for a person.
