The best electric kettle of 2021 is the Mi Smart Kettle wireless model from Xiaomi. This electric kettle heats water using a built-in power supply. The block is located in the center, which is why the kettle is centered. Thanks to this, the model is comfortable to hold and rotate. The device comes with a wire for charging the power element. It can be hidden in the case so that there is nothing unnecessary on the table. The entire device is designed in a minimalist style. The body is made of white matte plastic.

Among the additional features, it is worth noting the “smart” function of connecting to a smartphone. The connection takes place via Bluetooth. It shows the current water temperature, which is updated every few seconds. It is worth noting the interesting design of the application - due to temperature changes, the background color also changes. The device can be partially controlled using the Xiaomi Home application. For example, you can set the temperature to which you want to heat the water. One step – 5 degrees Celsius. There are preset modes in which the water will be heated to optimal temperatures for various purposes - coffee (90 °C), tea (80 °C), rice flour (70 °C), baby milk (50 °C) and probiotics (40 °C ).Also in the application you can set the time during which the device will maintain a certain water temperature. Time range 1-12 hours, one step – 30 minutes.

2 Bosch TWK 3A011

Specifications: 2400 Watt, 1.7 l, 1.1 kilogram.

Next in the ranking is Bosch TWK 3A011 with a volume of 1.7 liters. The main reason why this non-smart kettle is in second place is the build quality and reliability. The body of the model is made of high quality plastic. In the middle there is a kind of window with markings. To start working, you need to press the red button at the base of the device. A volume of 1.7 liters is enough for a family of 3/4 people. To increase functionality, the manufacturer designed the stand so that it rotates freely. Additionally, the device has a removable filter. The Bosch kettle does not support modern functions such as backlighting, sound after boiling, water temperature adjustment, and the like. This is a simple classic electric kettle from a reliable European manufacturer with a large capacity, overheating protection and an automatic switch. Among the disadvantages, it is worth noting that the case gets very hot during operation. With prolonged exposure to the sun, depolymerization occurs - the plastic structure begins to crumble and crumble.

Advantages:

• Build quality
• Reliability
• Heats water quickly
• Light weight

Flaws:

• Plastic quickly begins to deteriorate in the sun
• Gets very hot during operation

Specifications: 1.7 liters, 2200 W, 1.1 kg.

VT-7033 from VITEK takes third place in the 2021 rating of electric kettles. The volume of 1.7 liters is a practical solution, which is more than enough for the average family. The closed heater makes it easier to clean the device if necessary and slows down the deposition of limescale inside the housing. When using a kettle made of poor quality plastic for a long time, particles of the material begin to get into the water, causing it to taste bitter. Plastic begins to deposit in the body and can cause complications. Therefore, buy proven products made from high-quality plastic or metal. Like this device, for example, it is made of stainless steel. The main part stands on a special stand, which the manufacturer made rotating. Additionally, there is protection against overheating and short circuit. Auto shut-off starts after the water boils. The 75 cm long power cord allows you to work at a relatively large distance from the outlet. The only downside is the noise during operation.

Advantages:

• Volume
• Light weight
• Operation speed
• Made from stainless steel

Flaws:

• Noisy during operation

Price – 1,800 rubles.
