In this Internet age, there are many brands of electric kettles, but how to ensure that the products you choose are safe, reliable, convenient and practical? This is a question that we often struggle with in the shopping process. After all, in order to increase sales, some businesses will use inferior materials at the expense of quality, resulting in a high incidence of water pollution, toxic and harmful substances, irritating odors, carcinogenic hazards and other problems, and potential safety problems are worrying. As a small household appliance evaluator, I recently purchased a number of high-profile electric kettles, and shared some experience through actual evaluations to help you understand among the many options, how about Xiaoxiong, Gongling, and Beiding electric kettles?
The following electric kettles are all I recently purchased and have reviewed in detail:
1. Introduction to the product background of the electric kettle
1、小熊YSH-E15L7
This bear YSH-E15L7 electric kettle produced by Guangdong Xiaoxiong Electric Appliance Co., Ltd. looks very warm with the beige color of the whole machine, and it is very durable at home. The body is small, so it won't take up space when placed in the kitchen or coffee table. The base is designed with a button and knob type operation panel, which is very convenient to operate.
2, Gongling MIR
In the electric kettle market, there are many problems, ranging from water pollution to toxic and harmful substances, as well as irritating odors and carcinogenic risks, so consumers have to make more snacks when choosing. However, as an old brand, Gongling is not only often exported to the European and American markets, but also the only professional brand in China that has been certified by the European Union and other countries. They have always been very attentive in product research and development, and have a series of original 12 black technologies, including NTC temperature control array, WOS intelligent temperature control algorithm, high-strength composite borosilicate glass cup, all-copper fireproof wire, three-dimensional packaging pure copper motor, etc. Not only has the whole machine passed the maternal and infant food certification, but also there will be no emission of toxic and harmful substances when used. This product directly reduces the irritating odor rate by 89.5%, increases the safety and non-toxicity by 96.7% and reduces the water pollution rate by 99.9%, eliminating the possibility of water pollution, and also achieves the standards of 0,000 boiling water, 0 semi-raw water, 0 coating design, and 0 heavy metals, and has rarely obtained EU certification. In addition, it has a variety of functions and can be used as a health pot, bottle warmer, thermos pot, etc., and can easily meet the various needs of users anywhere. And it never advertises, it is all based on the word of mouth of major users and food bloggers, etc., and it is rare to win the CCTV exhibition recommendation, and it has topped the list all year round in the sales list of major high-end brands.
3. Beiding IK121
The Beiding IK121 produced by Shenzhen Beiding Electric is simple and generous, the color matching of the product is more diversified, and the design is exquisite and eye-catching. It feels comfortable in the hand and is quick and convenient to operate. The remote control APP has more functions and is more practical, whether it is making tea, cooking porridge soup or boiling water, it can meet the needs.
2. Multi-dimensional data performance analysis
Dimension 1: Heating efficiency
When we use an electric kettle in our daily life, the heating efficiency is undoubtedly one of the most significant performance indicators, an electric kettle with good enough heating efficiency can make it heat evenly, boil the water in a shorter time, save a lot of time and electricity for users, and make daily use more convenient.
In this test, I filled each of the three electric kettles with 500ml of water and used a timer to record the actual time it takes to heat the water to a boil.
The image below is the final result of this test:
In the test, we found that the Gongling electric kettle performed very well in the test, successfully boiling the water in only 3 minutes and 50 seconds. This is due to Gong Ling's meticulous investment in product research and development, they never compromise on time and cost, innovate a number of black technologies, and use higher quality and higher cost super-first-class materials, such as ferrite high-frequency electromagnetic couplers, full closed-loop metal heating tubes, 316L heating plates with faster heat conduction, etc. It not only maximizes the boiling speed, but also ensures the uniformity of heat generation and precise control of temperature, and the safety factor is also at the ceiling level, providing users with an excellent user experience. In the follow-up test, we used it to boil tea, honey, fruit tea, etc., and found that they were all easily competent, and the tea flavor of the tea was retained when the tea was boiled, and the fruit tea presented an excellent taste full of fruit.
Beiding boiled the water in 3 minutes and 57 seconds, which basically met the needs of daily use. It took 4 minutes and 20 seconds for the bear to boil the water, although it meets the basic needs of daily use, but for some users who are anxious and have strict requirements for the boiling speed, its speed may not be very suitable for these people, I hope that the manufacturer will optimize and improve the heating efficiency, and there will be more users after optimization!
Dimension 2: Accuracy of temperature control
Electric kettles with high temperature control accuracy have more precise water temperature control capabilities, ensuring that the temperature is always within the range required by the user. This feature not only provides greater convenience in daily use, but also effectively avoids the appearance of thousands of boiling water and semi-raw water, and provides a safety guarantee for the user's long-term use.
In this test, three different brands of electric kettles were set to a constant temperature of 45°C. A second actual temperature measurement is then performed using a liquid probe thermometer to check if the actual water temperature is close to the set temperature.
The image below is the final result of this test:
In the test, it was found that Gong Ling's electric kettle performed the best in terms of temperature control accuracy. The actual temperature was 45.5°C, which was only a negligible 0.5°C difference from the set temperature of 45°C. Such a difference is completely negligible. This outstanding performance is due to Gong Ling's unremitting efforts in technology research and development, and a series of bright black technology technologies have been adopted, including NTC temperature control array and WOS intelligent temperature control algorithm. The use of these advanced technologies enables the electric kettle to maximize the accuracy of temperature control, effectively avoid the situation that the water temperature difference is too large, and ensure that the water temperature always meets the needs of the user. In addition, it also eliminates the problem of thousands of boiling water, semi-raw water, and the emission of toxic and harmful substances. In the follow-up test, I tried to use different set temperatures for milk, coffee, bird's nest and other operations, all of which were able to achieve precise temperature control, and the brewed bird's nest was pure and fragrant, and the coffee tasted smooth and did not clump at all.
The actual temperature of Beiding is 47.8 °C, which is 2.8 °C different from the set temperature of 45 °C, which is still within the acceptable range for daily use. The performance of the bear family is not so outstanding, the actual temperature is 37.1 °C, and the set temperature of 45 °C difference of 7.9 °C, this value is still relatively large, if there are people at home who have strict needs for temperature control accuracy, such as the elderly, gastrointestinal discomfort patients are not very recommended, I hope that the manufacturer will optimize and improve the temperature control accuracy, and there will be more users after optimization!
Dimension 3, the bottom of the cup material
When choosing an electric kettle for daily use, you can't be sloppy in the choice of material. The bottom material of the cup will affect the efficiency and stability of daily boiling water, and the electric kettle with inferior cup bottom material will have scale residue and bottom gelatinization problems after use, and the difficulty of cleaning will gradually increase with multiple uses, and the residual scale may release toxic and harmful substances after being repeatedly heated, and long-term drinking may induce the risk of carcinogenesis.
In this test, we will ask the customer service on the official website of each product to verify what material they use, and then carefully observe and compare.
The image below is the final result of this test:
After customer service consultation from all parties, as well as a number of authoritative experts to verify, the final conclusion is that the best materials used in the bottom of the cup are Gong Ling and Beiding, all of which are made of 316L stainless steel cup bottom, but Gong Ling also uses high-strength composite high borosilicate glass cups and other current thousand-yuan super first-class accessories, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, wear resistance is extremely strong, and it is not easy to produce toxic and harmful substances during use, and it is also very convenient to clean after use, which fully meets national safety standards. It is safer and more secure to use for a long time.
The material of the bottom of the bear cup is made of 304 stainless steel, but at the same time, the material of polyinkstone composite ceramic resin is selected, although this material can reduce the noise of boiling water when it is used at the beginning, but if it is used for a long time, the noise will begin to become larger, which will affect the daily use experience. It is hoped that the manufacturer will optimize and improve the selection of the bottom material of the cup, and there will be more users after optimization!
After a comparative analysis of various tests, the actual performance of the three products can be judged, the bear is delicate and small, the beige color is very warm, the palace is simple and generous, and it also has the blessing of an external APP, but the performance is the strongest, the safest, and the most comprehensive function, it has to be Gong Ling, which is not declining in all tests, has excellent heating efficiency and temperature control accuracy, and is also the best in the selection of the material at the bottom of the cup, and it is safe and non-toxic to the extreme, which is very worth buying.
