Electric kettle (also known as electric kettle, kettle) adopts advanced heating technology, with high heat energy utilization rate and fast heating speed, saving energy and time. Not only can it boil water, but it can also heat milk, boil noodles, cook porridge, etc., which meets people's diverse needs for the function of the kettle. But it is precisely because of the huge market of electric kettles today, which also hides a lot of cheap and inferior electric kettles, although electric kettles are the most common small household appliances in recent years, but also one of the products with the most accidents and hidden dangers. Some of them are made of low-quality materials, which are not only harmful to health, but also cause cancer if used for a long time. There are also some carcinogenic claims, that is, what are the hazards of instantaneous electric kettles? As a home appliance evaluator, I will analyze this problem for you.
Here are some of the electric kettles I've recently reviewed:
1. What are the hazards of instantaneous electric kettles?
Electric kettle is the most common small household appliance in recent years, and it is also one of the products with the most accidents and hidden dangers, such as some inferior and unprofessional electric kettles are often prone to scale, which is a white lumpy or powdery substance formed by the minerals contained in the inner layer of the kettle after boiling in hard water. Long-term intake of limescale may lead to gallstones, kidney stones and other diseases, which may cause certain harm to human health. For the specific hazards of using an electric kettle, I have summarized the following 4 points:
1. It is easy to produce scale, which affects the aesthetics
The use of an unqualified electric kettle will lead to the formation of limescale, which accumulates on the walls and bottom of the kettle, affecting the aesthetics of the kettle. It will not only make the appearance of the electric kettle dirty, but also affect the heating effect and shorten the service life of the electric kettle.
2. There may be potential safety hazards
Low-quality electric kettles are potential safety hazards that can lead to serious problems such as electricity leakage, fire, explosion, etc. These potential safety hazards may come from unqualified materials, rough manufacturing processes, improper circuit design, etc., posing a potential threat to the safety of users' lives and property.
3. It has a strong irritating odor and emits toxic and harmful substances
Using a low-quality electric kettle may produce irritating odors, which are released by the materials or chemicals inside the kettle. These toxic and harmful substances may cause adverse effects on human health, such as affecting the sense of taste, causing allergic reactions, etc.
4. Inferior products are easy to retain heavy metals
Some low-quality electric kettles may be manufactured using materials that contain heavy metals, such as lead, chromium, etc. During long-term use, these heavy metals may dissolve into hot water, posing a potential threat to human health, and long-term accumulation may lead to chronic poisoning.
2. Six common negative comments about electric kettles
What are the hazards of instantaneous electric kettles? Seeing this, readers must have a certain understanding of the four hazards of electric kettles, such as irritating odors, repeated heating to produce thousands of boiling water containing nitrites, inferior products are easy to retain heavy metals and may have potential safety hazards. The following is a summary table of the main negative evaluations of electric kettles, from which you can find the main complaints of consumers about electric kettles, according to the figure below I summarized the 6 main complaints that lead to the harm of electric kettles:
Slot point 1: 1,000 boiling water
The electric kettle is easy to reach a boiling state during the heating process, which will produce a large number of bubbles and steam, resulting in the tumbling of the water, and even splashing water, which is easy to cause scalding accidents.
Slot 2: Poor temperature control
Poor temperature control is another common problem. The temperature control system of an inferior electric kettle is often inaccurate, resulting in large fluctuations in the water temperature during the heating process, which not only affects the efficiency of boiling water, but also may make the temperature of the water not meet the requirements and affect the user experience.
Slot 3: There is a pungent odor
Inferior electric kettles are often accompanied by pungent odors, which may be due to problems with the materials themselves or substandard manufacturing processes, which release harmful substances. This odor not only affects the taste of drinking water, but can also be potentially harmful to health.
Slot 4: Poor and inferior product quality.
These products usually use cheap materials and inferior processes, which are prone to water leakage, circuit failure and other problems, with short service life and difficult to guarantee safety.
Slot 5: Poor quality electric kettles are difficult to clean is also a common problem.
Unreasonable design, improper material selection or rough processing technology lead to dead corners inside the kettle that are difficult to clean, and it is easy to breed bacteria or odors.
Slot 6: Finally, there is a risk of hot hands and burns during the use of inferior electric kettles.
The shell design of some products is unreasonable, there is a hidden danger of hot hands, and it is easy to cause accidental burns when used, which poses a threat to the safety of users.
3. 5 benefits of a high-quality electric kettle
After understanding the harm of electric kettle and the reasons behind these hazards, I believe everyone clearly knows the harm of inferior electric kettle to the body, electric kettle is a small household appliance that will be used every day, so it is very important to choose a safe and non-toxic, high temperature and corrosion resistant electric kettle, even if the price is slightly higher, it is very worthwhile. The multi-functional electric kettle is developed on the basis of the traditional electric kettle, and its working principle is to heat the chassis through the bottom heating wire to promote the water in the electric kettle to boil, and then the water vapor generated when the water boils deforms the bimetal sheet of the steam temperature sensing element, and this deformation pushes the power switch to power off through the lever principle. It is not self-resetting when it is powered off, so the kettle will not automatically reheat after the power is off. The electric kettle can help us boil hot water quickly, the automatic power-off function can prevent dry boiling, it is very convenient to use, and its price is relatively cheap and affordable.
With the improvement of people's living standards, there is more and more demand for boiling water in different scenarios. Not just for drinking or cooking, we also need to mix milk, make tea, stew, etc. In order to meet these different needs, there are various forms of products on the market, such as multi-functional electric kettles, thermostatic electric kettles, health kettles, and instant hot water dispensers. Among them, the multi-functional electric kettle has become the most popular choice. Compared with a traditional electric kettle, using a multi-functional electric kettle has the following advantages.
Advantage 1: Faster boiling efficiency and high temperature control accuracy.
High-quality electric kettles are usually equipped with high-power heating plates that can heat the water to the desired temperature more quickly, while a precise temperature control system can ensure that the water temperature is stable within the set temperature range, making hot water preparation more efficient and convenient.
Benefit 2: Feature-rich and faster to use.
A high-quality electric kettle is feature-rich and quicker to use.

Fourth, eight ways to buy high-quality electric kettles, lightning protection and inferior products!
What are the hazards of instantaneous electric kettles? Inferior products cause many harms, so how can we, as consumers, keep our eyes open? This largely determines our experience and safety in the process of use. In addition to the data support provided by the above authorities and several brands with good reputation, I have also summarized eight major purchase strategies for you based on years of evaluation experience.
1: The most important thing is to choose a brand that is safe and reliable, and has excellent strength
It is precisely because there are many marketing routines now, so if you want to buy a high-quality electric kettle, you must not blindly listen to the marketing propaganda of Internet celebrity brands, and choose a professional brand with safe and reliable technical strength is the most important. Because such brands have strict standards and requirements for core parameters such as heating efficiency, temperature control accuracy, safety and non-toxicity, and will use high-quality materials to take into account performance and safety.
2: Choose a style with a high-quality heating plate
The heating plate is one of the most important components of an electric kettle, because the heating plate will affect the efficiency, speed and heating stability of an electric kettle, so you can't blindly pursue low prices, good quality, safety and reliability are the most important.
3: Choose a style with a good coupler quality
In addition to the heating plate, the coupler is also one of the most important components, because it connects the heater and the kettle body, which directly affects the heating efficiency, temperature control accuracy and safety of use.
4: Choose a high-temperature and corrosion-resistant style with a sealing ring
The sealing ring must be made of good material, choose a high-temperature, corrosion-resistant style, because it is mainly used in the cup lid, base reinforcement, will be in contact with the water for a long time and heated repeatedly. A good electric kettle with a high-quality sealing ring will not release toxic and harmful irritant gases when exposed to high temperatures.
5: Choose a style with the best material for the pot body
High-quality electric kettles are particular about the selection of materials for the body of the kettle, and most of them will choose high borosilicate glass that is not easy to form scale, corrosion resistance and good wear resistance. This kind of material is different from inferior materials with bad smell, high temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance, and avoids the hidden dangers of toxic and harmful substances emitting and causing serious diseases such as kidney stones.
6: Choose a style with precise temperature control
The electric kettle with precise temperature control can avoid the situation that the water cannot be boiled or over-boiled, and isolates toxic and harmful substances such as boiling water and nitrite to the greatest extent, which is harmful to the health of consumers.
7: Choose a style with moderate power
The electric kettle is not as much power as possible, too much power not only makes noise and has a short machine life, but also has greater potential safety hazards, which is easy to cause fire hazards and other problems, and the heating efficiency is not only related to the power but also related to the heating chassis material, the heating tube material and length, etc., so there is no need to pursue too high power, try to choose a product with moderate power.
8: Never buy cheap and low-quality products
How to say that the electric kettle is also an electrical product, and the excessively low price is to sacrifice the production cost of workmanship and materials, and this is not only the sacrifice of consumer experience, but also the more likely to sacrifice their own health and safety!
The hazards of electric kettles must have a deeper understanding of it here, not only to understand the hidden dangers that an inferior product may cause, but also to understand the reasons behind it. So I remind everyone to do these homework before buying, keep your eyes open when purchasing, choose a professional electric kettle, and avoid unprofessional Internet celebrity products to avoid irreparable damage to the body.
