Main characteristics
For they are power consumption and volume are consistent with modern plastic and metal models. On average, liter electric kettles have a capacity of 1.2-1.3 kW. This is sufficient to bring the water to boil for 5-6 minutes. Larger volume provides less for them in part because of the slowness. Available in models 1.5 and even 1.7-liter capacity of 1.5-2 kW but optimal in all respects, including the weight, remain at 1-1.2 liters kettles.
And that is the great advantage of this original technology, so it is in maintaining the temperature of already heated water. The thick-walled ceramic has a low thermal conductivity, and the appliance itself after shutdown will work almost
as a thermos. For those who constantly forgets that gathered to drink tea boils water several times, this is a godsend. The disadvantage of this solution - self heating due to thermal capacitance ceramics will also take longer.Incidentally, thick ceramic walls have another advantage: they do not click when heated, and do not vibrate at all during boiling are very quiet. All that can be heard is the muffled noise of heated water. A trifle, but you will agree, pleasant.
Functional
Ceramic models, as well as its high-tech rivals, can be equipped with a thermostat - a useful feature for those who like special teas. True gourmets know that the white and green of his views do not like steep boiling water.
Types of thermostats:
- Stepped - it has a clear grading temperature conditions and only supports them.
- Stepless - provides smooth adjustment of the desired temperature, which greatly extends the capabilities of the kettle. For discerning palates.
If you can buy a more advanced technique, then it is possible to constantly maintain the desired temperature of the water, exposed to the thermostat. Although it will be a kettle is not budget price category.
Advantages, disadvantages, and how to put up with them
On environmental ceramics in the presence of plastic and metal components of the electric kettle to say not very appropriate. But apparently, this technique looks like it is "clean" and safe. And most importantly - is it a cozy beauty, which is so lacking in modern household appliances. The already mentioned high heat capacity can also be written in the pros, and also a stretch. After all, the energy will be spent not only for heating water, but also on the thick walls of ceramic teapot.
However, ceramics and disadvantages do not pull on the absolutely unacceptable. Yes, a lot of weight. But when the amount of about a liter of it is not a huge.
Although this is a serious reason to pay attention to the shape of the handle to lift heavy for her tea and leans over the cup it was the most convenient.
That's just with handles most often occur in consumer problems, because they, too, ceramic and have a tendency to heat up along with the hull itself. So, if the chosen model will not thermally insulating lining is necessary to take the kettle pot holders, and even a hot lid to hold.
Pottery, alas, fragile material, and if you still will fall defective model in use tea may just burst. From this no one is safe, therefore, carefully fill in and keep the warranty card to safely replace damaged equipment. Of course, if you do not violate the rules of operation the manufacturer.
On the low-end models are complaining in their reviews many buyers, they say, gives them water after chemistry. The reason for this is most likely - a cheap low-grade adhesives and plastic parts of household appliances. Good corporate Maker, where all materials are of high quality, cost quite expensive, but consumers continue to rely on their own ideas about the average cost of appliances. If you are not willing to fork out serious, from ceramic models is better to give up in order not to be disappointed by unsuccessful purchase.
The most interesting model
Having familiarized with the basic ins and outs of electric kettles made of ceramics can already competently to go looking for a suitable model. We also present some interesting examples of really successful technique that is worth to buy. After all, she has managed to earn positive feedback from customers.
Kelli KL-1431
This electric though Chinese production, has been more convenient to use than many European models. Firstly, it is quite cold handle and a decent amount - 1.7 liters. Second, power consumption does not exceed the reasonable limits (1.8 kW for this capacity - low rate). Outwardly, it looks like a thick-painted teapot, even the cover is completely removed, both on the classic teapots from the service.
Marta MT-1021
Electric kettle with a five-stage thermostat, allowing to bring the water to an average temperature which is suitable even for preparation of infant formula. It also provides the function of Auto when the tank is empty, so that the drive will not bask idly. Sufficiently powerful machine, which consumes 1.8 kW / h.
Vitek-1157
Model form repeats the modern electric kettles, but pleasing to the eye painted blue and white ceramic sides. However, the manufacturer did not give an absolute technique resemblance to traditional tea tableware and reinforced walls opaque metal rings above and below. Rubberized and very sturdy handle allows you to easily lift heavy kettle, even if it is filled to the top mark of 1.7 liters. Power is also no different modest figures and is within 1.8-2.2 kW. In general, good-quality and reliable equipment.
Robin-17
A very unusual domestic kettle volume of 1.4 liters. It looks like a pitcher with a large floral pattern on one side. Here are just a thermochromic ink that was used during application prints, at the same time serves as an indicator of water temperature in the kettle. When heating pattern changes its color gradually returns it as cool down the walls.
Polaris PWK 1282 CCD
Touching Kettle 1.2 liter painted with flowers and butterflies, it looks a bit strange, complete with wide support. But it was her he owes his functionality. Here withdrawn liquid crystal display and a touch-sensitive control panel buttons allowing to set water temperature. The model has three heating mode from +70 to +100 ° C. Also incorporated a function to maintain a constant temperature in the kettle, while the ceramic walls themselves well to deal with it.

Rawls - one of the few dummies on which virtually no negative reviews. Liter model is available in black and white with a gorgeous Japanese painting. Special charm gives it a classic "pot-bellied" shape. Power consumption of only 1.25 kWh. And, perhaps, today it is the only technique of unpleasant odor which is not a single mention.
