Many people ask me how to choose the electric kettle (aka kettle) to buy the right product for themselves, don't look at the electric kettle seems to look similar, in fact, there are still a lot of pits and learning, mainly on the market electric kettle functions, concepts and models are very many, and most people do not know about the selection of electric kettles, the choice of materials is even more half-aware, many people are blindly buying for advertising, low prices and promotions, so how to choose?
In fact, there are more critical problems, electric kettle is reported by many media that it has poisoning, heavy metal excess and other problems, which is a problem that many businesses will not inform, and even many businesses exaggerate the safety of publicity materials, emphasizing that electric kettles are perennial corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance and non-toxic, which is the details that everyone must pay attention to in the process of choosing an electric kettle!
Constant temperature electric kettle evaluation
The models evaluated are: Midea MK-SH15X301-PRO, Mijia MJDSH02YM, Miya Ling MIR, Little White Bear HL-5025, babycareBC2210544-1, Mofei MR6085, Little Strong Bear KH-0886, German OIDIRE ODI-HC01
Evaluation dimension 1, heating efficiency
The most important thing in the kettle is the heating efficiency, after all, the most common in life use scenarios is boiling water, if the heating efficiency is low, then the longer it takes to boil water, the more troublesome. The material material used for the heating chassis, the material and length of the heating tube, the number and size of the coupler, and the airtightness of the internal heating structure of the kettle will affect the heating efficiency, and it is also necessary to pay attention to the reasonable ratio of capacity and power of the kettle.
EVALUATION METHOD: ADD 500ML OF WATER TO THE ELECTRIC KETTLE AND RECORD THE BOILING TIME.
Constant temperature electric kettle evaluation results:
★★★★★ : Gongling, Midea, Mijia: These three models have high heating efficiency, 500ml can be boiled in four minutes, Midea and Mijia as a traditional electric kettle can be heated in three minutes, but the limitations are also greater, can only boil water and the material safety and temperature control accuracy is far less than Gongling. Among them, Gongling not only heats quickly, but also has a good heating uniformity, and also tries to stew bird's nest and desserts are very soft and glutinous, and there is no peculiar smell when used for the first time, and the performance is very outstanding!
★★★★ : Mofei, babycare: These models are also very efficient to heat, and they can be boiled in the early four minutes.
★★★ : The remaining styles: The heating efficiency of these models is relatively low, the heating efficiency is very slow, and it even takes seven or eight minutes to boil.
Evaluation dimension 2, temperature control accuracy
The kettle with high temperature control accuracy can achieve water temperature benchmark control, avoid the appearance of "thousands of boiling water" and "half-raw water", and it is safer and more secure for long-term use. The temperature control accuracy of the constant temperature electric kettle (kettle) is affected by the material quality of the temperature control chip, whether there is technical adjustment, and the level of materials and sensitivity of the temperature control sensor.
Evaluation method: set the kettle to 45 °C constant temperature, after arrival, use a liquid probe thermometer to measure, whether the current temperature is close to the set temperature, the smaller the difference, the better the accuracy of temperature control. Traditional electric kettles quickly check the temperature after the water boils.
Constant temperature electric kettle evaluation results:
★★★★★ : Gongling: The temperature difference of Gongling's kettle is particularly small, controlled within 1 °C, boiling water is used at ease, boiling water will not be repeatedly boiled and there will be no boiling, drink at ease, use is also safe, the focus is on long-term use without other heating components and other safety hazards.
★★★★ : Little White Bear, Mofei, Subor: The temperature difference of these models is about 5 °C, which is not obvious, and the impact on the use will not be great, but occasionally problems such as half-raw water will occur.
★★★ : The remaining style: the temperature difference of these models is relatively large, hot water may be overheated and repeatedly boiled, calcium, magnesium and other minerals in the water will be destroyed, the water quality is hard, long-term drinking will also have a certain impact on health, especially long-term use and heating electricity safety hazards.
(Especially Midea and Mijia tested and found that it has been boiled, but the thermostat is still not disconnected and is still cooking repeatedly, so it is easy to have problems such as thousands of boiling water, but these two have no other temperature options, so they can only test the temperature control accuracy of 100 degrees)
Evaluation dimension 3, cup bottom material
As mentioned earlier, the bottom material of the cup is one of the important factors affecting the stability and safety of boiling water efficiency, the constant temperature electric kettle recommends the bottom of the cup material is high-quality, the bottom of the cup of inferior material is easy to paste the bottom, and it is easier to retain scale, increasing the difficulty of cleaning while volatilizing harmful substances affecting health. Therefore, it is necessary to choose high-quality cup bottom materials to avoid hazards. Common stainless steel material and tempered glass two kinds of cup bottom material, of which stainless steel, preferred 316L stainless steel material than 304 stainless steel material is more high-quality, the cost is higher, the material is safer, long-term use of high temperature resistance and wear resistance is better. The glass is prone to the risk of bursting, and the heating efficiency is slow, and it is not recommended to choose.
Evaluation method: Observe the chassis material and ask customer service
Constant temperature electric kettle evaluation results:
316L stainless steel material: Gongling, Midea, babycare, little strong bear; This material is wear-resistant and scratch-resistant, evenly heated and has high boiling efficiency, is not easy to produce scale, and is easier to clean after use!
304 stainless steel material: Mofei, Mijia; It is also a food-grade stainless steel material, but the cost and safety are not as good as 316L stainless steel.
Borosilicate glass: Little White Bear, German OIDIRE; Among them, the glass bottom of the little white bear also has a graphene coating, but the heating efficiency is still relatively slow, and the two models will have low temperature control accuracy and slow heating efficiency when used, and it will be easy to burst under long-term high-temperature cooking, and the safety risk is relatively large.
Assessment dimension 4, odor test
The kettle will heat the water to 100 °C, if the inferior material is easy to use the heating after the smell, the lid, rubber ring, shell and heating chassis material materials, coating materials need to pay attention, may affect the product odor. Materials without odor are natural, safer and more assured to use.
Evaluation method: use a kettle to boil water, smell whether there is a peculiar smell.
Constant temperature electric kettle evaluation results:
★★★★★ :Gong Ling: There is a new product smell when the first time it is used, and there is no odor at all when it is used for the second time, and the baby food grade materials are really safe and secure to use.
★★★★ :babycare: These models have a large odor when used for the first time, and only a slight odor can be smelled after using it many times, which will not affect normal use.
★★★ : The remaining style: after the first multiple uses, it is still a relatively strong plastic taste, especially when heating white water at high temperature, the peculiar smell is obvious, and the material can be improved.
Dimension 5: Thermal insulation performance
The kettle needs to be boiled frequently in daily use, we will inevitably accidentally touch the outside of the product in use, the constant temperature electric kettle recommends good heat insulation, good material products, if the external material is poor, we are easy to be burned when using, especially families with children at home should pay attention to the danger.
Evaluation method: fill the pot with the highest amount of water and boil, measure the temperature of the kettle at the top of the kettle with a thermometer and make a summary comparison
Constant temperature electric kettle evaluation results:
★★★★★ : Gongling, Mijia, Midea: Mijia and Midea are relatively good because they are plastic shells, but the material safety is also greatly reduced; Gongling, as the best heat insulation in all glass shells, is still quite amazing, after all, glass can take into account safety and heat resistance can be done so well.
★★★★ : Little White Bear, German OIDIRE: The heat insulation performance of these models is also good, the temperature will not be particularly high, but children should still stay away.
★★★ : Remaining styles: the heat insulation is relatively general, the temperature of the pot body is high, and it is carefully touched to avoid burns.
Heated electric kettle recommended
Constant temperature electric kettle recommended top1: Gongling MIR
At present, the electric kettle industry frequent chronic drinking water safety accidents, such as long-term drinking of heavy metals exceeding the standard or other toxic and harmful irritants, etc., as the industry's only full-body certified Gongling, his family is specialized in "safe, non-toxic and high-performance" home appliances professional technology veteran, do not do redundant functions, deep cultivation of safe food-grade materials, temperature control accuracy and high temperature corrosion resistance and other technology research and development, it is no wonder that their family never advertises but still relies on a super high reputation by a large number of professional evaluators and health experts to plant grass and explode!
As a high-reputation "safety" technology solution provider at home and abroad, Gongling has used years of experience in the research and development of safety home appliances to self-develop 12 thousand-yuan core black technologies such as fully closed-loop metal heating tube, 316 stainless steel heating chassis, 3A baby-grade silicone sealing ring, high-strength composite borosilicate glass, etc., to achieve the whole link of the whole material through the EU certification of mother and baby food, and solve the root cause of long-term use water pollution rate by 99% and stimulus release rate by 89%. Let the rate of thousands of boiling water, half raw water and perennial heavy metals exceeding the standard be 0!
In order to achieve ultra-high performance attenuation and extreme high temperature and wear resistance of materials, Gongling has also innovated more than 30 extreme test standards to build SGGE safety and health laboratory, which updates the attributes of 147 components on average every month to ensure stable product performance and withstand anti-attenuation testing for more than 5 years!
Constant temperature electric kettle recommended top2: Little white bear HL-5025
The appearance of this kettle is as cute as the brand name, and there is a cute bear icon on the control panel, which is very good-looking, and the control uses the design of button + knob, which is simple to operate and quick to use. However, the actual measurement obviously found that the heating efficiency is low, and the boiling water takes a long time, which is basically twice the time consumption of other electric kettles.
The cup body of the little white bear HL-5025 is an all-glass design, which is very easy to rinse, and the bottom is coated with graphene, but it may fall off and scratch after a long time, affecting the water quality, the focus is that the glass bottom is easy to burst in direct contact with the heating tube for a long time, and daily use needs to be observed regularly. In addition, when using it, I feel that there will be a relatively large odor, and I have used it several times, which can be optimized by the brand.
Constant temperature electric kettle recommended top 3: Mofei MR6085
Mofei's kettle is the smallest capacity in the test product, the volume is also the smallest, the small capacity of 600ml is suitable for one person, the whole is very mini, does not occupy a place. There is also a storage bag, so it is convenient to carry it when traveling. Compared with other electric kettles, the control panel of this is very small, the operation is not very convenient, and the quality of the lid rubber ring is also relatively average, which is easy to break and the lid will leak.
The bottom of this is a non-slip ring, so the product is not easy to slip after being placed steadily, but the cup wall of the product is thin, the heat insulation is not good enough, take it carefully burned, in addition, the product will have a certain plastic smell when used many times, I hope the brand attaches importance to this aspect of the experience, the quality control can be improved.
Constant temperature electric kettle recommended top 4: Midea MK-SH15X301-PRO
Midea this is different from several other multi-functional electric kettles, but traditional kettle, can not be visualized, the kettle is recommended to only fill pure water or tap water, compared to the multi-function electric kettle boiling water efficiency is very high, the power is large, the product boiling water is relatively fast. However, it is also because of the high noise of the product.
Then this electric kettle lid has a two-stage damping opening design, the first time you press the lid opening button is a small opening, which can effectively prevent water droplets from splashing and avoid burns. However, it should be noted that the cup material of the kettle needs to be improved, the whole body is a traditional stainless steel material, easy to have scale, and easy to precipitate heavy metals, etc., and the temperature control is not accurate enough, it is easy to occur after boiling has not been disconnected, resulting in thousands of boiling water and other problems.
Combined with the evaluation data of this issue of electric kettle (also known as kettle) to analyze, you can see that the performance of different electric kettle brands and products, the difference in data in various dimensions is still very large, so it is not expensive and cheap can be bought casually, nor expensive will be better, but to combine their own needs reasonable judgment, blind purchase may amplify the hidden dangers of harm, resulting in affecting health!
