Electric kettles, also widely known as electric kettles or electric kettles, have become one of the most popular small household appliances in the market today. With the rapid expansion of the market, low-cost electric kettle products began to flood the market, and the price is usually in the range of tens of yuan. However, with the proliferation of these low-priced products, the problem of poor quality has also come to the fore, and continued use can undoubtedly cause long-term health effects, and these inferior products also have carcinogenic side effects. As a household practitioner, I have accumulated rich experience through practical testing and analysis, covering a variety of electric kettles. I'm going to summarize with you today about the dry goods about electric kettles.
Here are some of the pictures of electric kettles I've reviewed:
1. Four potential risks of using inferior products
First of all, we must make it clear that the quality of electric kettles is directly related to our drinking water safety and health. Electric kettle is the most common small household appliance, and it is also one of the products with the most accidents and hidden dangers. For example, some electric kettles will emit a pungent odor during the heating process, which may be caused by material or process problems, which will bring discomfort to the user's experience. What are the dangers of using a low-quality electric kettle? I have summarized the following 4 points:
Hazard 1: Irritating odor and emitting toxic and harmful substances.
These odors are often caused by the volatilization of chemicals in the material or coating inside the pot. These toxic and harmful substances may be carried into the water by the vapor and then consumed, posing a potential risk to human health.
Hazard 2: Repeated heating produces thousands of boiling water, containing nitrite.
Under long-term high-temperature heating, nitrite in water will continue to accumulate, which will cause harm to human health after exceeding the safety limit. If we drink such water, it can cause nitrite poisoning, triggering symptoms such as headache, nausea, vomiting, etc.
Hazard 3: Inferior products are prone to residual heavy metals.
Some substandard electric kettles may be manufactured using inferior materials, which may contain heavy metals such as lead, mercury, etc. When these heavy metals are dissolved in water, they may cause potential harm to the human nervous system and physical development after drinking.
Hazard 4: There may be a safety hazard.
As some manufacturers pursue profit maximization, there may be security vulnerabilities in the product design and manufacturing process. For example, the unreasonable design of the lid and the poor contact of the wires, etc., these hidden dangers may lead to safety problems such as electric leakage and short circuit during the use of the kettle, which brings potential threats to our safety.
2. Discuss the five main reasons for the hidden dangers of electric kettles
What are the hazards of electric kettles? Some electric kettles may contain heavy metals or other harmful substances, and long-term drinking of such hot water may have certain effects on health. The above mainly summarizes the 4 main hazards, many people may not have thought that the electric kettle will have so many harms before this, so what are the reasons for the harm of the electric kettle?
1. Buy products with poor temperature control: Some inferior electric kettles have problems in temperature control, which cannot accurately control the water temperature, which may lead to boiling or over-boiling water. This will affect the quality and taste of the water and may produce harmful substances.
2. There are many three-no products:
There are some three-no products on the market, which are often of low quality and may have safety hazards. For example, a kettle made of substandard material may release harmful substances that can pose a health hazard, and a kettle with an unstable structure may cause an accident such as electricity leakage or explosion.
3. The popularity of low-price and inferior products in the price war: because the market for electric kettles is getting bigger and bigger, there are some manufacturers in the market who use inferior materials and processes to produce electric kettles in order to pursue low-price competition, resulting in poor product quality and potential safety hazards. The use of inferior materials is prone to the production of toxic substances, which are harmful to health.
4. Internet celebrities bring goods and celebrity endorsement products: Some electric kettles are promoted through Internet celebrities or celebrity endorsements, but it does not mean that their quality is good. Consumers should buy rationally, do not blindly pursue star effect, and pay attention to the understanding and evaluation of product quality.
5. Many people mistakenly choose products with too much power: When some consumers buy an electric kettle, they often mistakenly think that the more power, the better. In fact, an electric kettle with too much power heats up faster, but it is also prone to potential safety hazards, such as leakage, overheating and other problems. Therefore, when purchasing, you should choose an electric kettle with appropriate power according to actual needs.
3. Analysis of the five advantages of electric kettle
What are the hazards of electric kettles? After analyzing the hazards of inferior products, let's summarize the advantages of high-quality electric kettles. The electric kettle is an upgrade from the traditional kettle, which works by heating the water to a boiling temperature through a heating element. A kettle usually consists of a heating element, a water tank, and a temperature control device. When the electric kettle is connected to the power, the heating element starts to heat the water in the tank, the temperature of the water gradually rises, and when the water temperature reaches the set temperature, the temperature control device will automatically cut off the current of the heating element to prevent the water from overheating.
And with the development of technology, now the multi-functional electric kettle has been greatly improved in terms of function and use experience compared with the traditional kettle, let's take a look at what are the benefits if you choose a high-quality multi-functional electric kettle:
1. Faster boiling efficiency and high temperature control accuracy:
Electric kettles have a faster boiling speed than traditional water boiling methods. It uses advanced heating technology that is able to quickly heat the water to the desired temperature. Moreover, the electric kettle is also equipped with a high-precision temperature control device, which can accurately control the temperature of the water, avoid overheating or overcooling the water, and ensure that each glass of water can reach the optimal drinking temperature.
2. Better security:
Electric kettles have done a lot of design and improvement in terms of safety. It has a double-layer anti-scald design, and the outer body will not overheat, so it will not burn your fingers when touched. The electric kettle also has an automatic power-off function, which can automatically cut off the power when the water is boiled to avoid boiling dry. These safety designs make the use of electric kettles safer and more reliable, reducing the risks during use.
3. It is not easy to produce scale, less peculiar smell, and is healthier:
Since the inside of the electric kettle is made of stainless steel, it is not easy to produce limescale. The heating method of the electric kettle makes the water heat more evenly, reducing the possibility of limescale. The electric kettle can also effectively remove the odor in the water, ensuring that the boiled water is clearer, purer and healthier.
4. Better appearance and more exquisite:
The modern electric kettle has a beautiful design and stylish shape. Different brands and models have their own distinctive designs, which can meet the aesthetic needs of different consumers. Placing a beautiful electric kettle in your home can not only enhance the appearance of the whole kitchen, but also add a touch of spice to life.
5. Rich functions and faster use:
The electric kettle is very versatile, in addition to boiling water, it can also make tea, coffee, etc. Some high-end electric kettles also have functions such as pre-ordering boiling water, constant temperature insulation, and intelligent control, making it more convenient and quick to use. With a simple setup, you can enjoy a personalized boiling experience.
Some electric kettles may have potential safety hazards during use, such as leakage during the heating process, inaccurate temperature control and other problems, which may lead to safety accidents such as fires.
