I'll tell you briefly about each model, strengths and weaknesses, differences, features, compare with competitors. TOP-12 stainless steel teapots were compiled on the basis of personal experience and customer reviews.
Home Element HE-KT-193
The cheapest and easiest of the TOP. Volume - 2 liters, power - 1500 W. The heating element is a closed spiral. Material - steel, stainless steel. Will not turn on empty, there is an indication of turning on. There is a compartment for the cord, the cord itself is short. There is no scale filter. Black body, without liquid level indicator. Price - 850 rubles.
Pros:
- the volume is large;
- simplicity;
- low price.
Minuses:

- boils for a long time;
- short cord.
Just an ordinary kettle, no chips and bells and whistles. It will cope with the task of boiling without problems, only it will take longer than with other models. No unpleasant odors, stainless steel coating inside. For that kind of money, you shouldn't expect much from such a technique. An excellent office option, suitable for a summer residence.
REDMOND RK-M183
Volume - 1.7 liters, power - 2200 W. The heating element is a closed spiral. Of the features - blocking of inclusion without water, blocking of the cover. Illuminated from the inside during operation. There is an anti-scale filter, a power-on indication, a water level indicator, a compartment for the cord, but the cord itself is short - 0.7 m. The price is 1600 rubles.
Pros:
- boils quickly;
- great design;
- backlight.
Minuses:
- short power cable;
- smells like plastic.
Nice kettle and inexpensive. The design is great, the backlight is very pleasing when working. Heats up quickly, keeps warm for a long time. The volume of 1.7 liters is enough for the whole family for a tea party. Obviously going to China as it smells of cheap plastic. But it does not leak with prolonged use, such as Bosch TWK 7804/7805/7808/7809, since the assembly is of high quality. A good electric kettle for the home.
Bosch TWK 7804/7805/7808/7809
Outwardly handsome. Volume - 1.7 liters, power - 2200 W. The heating element is a closed spiral. Protected against overheating. The liquid level indicator is located behind the handle, which is not very convenient. There is low illumination during operation, but there is no such beautiful backlight as in the REDMOND RK-M183. Filter, blocking of inclusion without water, blocking of the lid, the lid is opened with a separate button. Price - 2250 rubles.
Pros:
- Beautiful design;
- no smell;
- quiet.
Minuses:
- after a while begins to flow;
- inconvenient level indicator.
The main disadvantage of this sample is that it flows. Users in reviews also complain about this. After some time (from a month to six months), it begins to flow. The liquid level indicator is located under the handle, which is inconvenient and easier to determine by eye. The model boils more slowly than competitors. Its main advantage is its great design. If this is a decisive factor for you, then you will like this kettle, I do not recommend it to others.
Tefal KI 270D Confidence
The design does not shine with anything - silver metal with black plastic. Volume - 1.7 liters. Power - 2400 W.The heating element is a closed spiral. There is an anti-scale filter, a level indicator: like in Bosch TWK, it is located under the handle, which is inconvenient, fogs up during operation. There is a power indicator. There are no locks and no protection. Price - 2400 rubles.
Pros:
- wide spout with filter;
- boils quickly;
- indication of work.
Minuses:
- inconvenient liquid level indication;
- the minimum volume for work is 0.8 liters.
If you need an ordinary kettle so that it does not leak, does not have bad odors, then it is best to buy Home element HE-KT-193 for 850 rubles than this option for 2400. They are no different, they work and boil in the same way, there is no point in paying more. The Home Element does not have a liquid indicator, but this kettle does, but here it is not located in the most convenient place, it fogs up during operation. Tefal KI 270D also turns on only when there is a sufficient water level. Better to look at other options than spend money on this technique.
Tesler KT-1755
With each model, the price rises, but the functionality does not. This teapot has a wide range of colors. The design is nice. Volume - 1.7 liters. Power - 2000 W. Boils quickly, in 3 minutes. Empty is not included. There is an anti-scale filter, a power and water level indicator, which, like in Bosch and Tefal, is located under the handle. Disabled when removed from the stand. Price - 3 thousand rubles.
Pros:
- build quality;
- design;
- boils quickly.
Minus:
- inconvenient location of the level indicator.
Doesn't leak like Bosch TWK, doesn't smell like plastic like REDMOND RK-M183. Tesler KT-1755 will steadily do its job for years. It has an inconvenient location of the water level indicator (behind the handle), but does not fog up, as in Tefal. This is a reliable, good sample to buy.
Gorenje K17CLI
This model stands out for its unusual design: it is a very beautiful stainless steel teapot. The level indicator is located on the side, but since the knob is on top, it does not cover the indication. There is a thermometer on the device itself: you can monitor the temperature both before boiling and after. There is an indication of inclusion, blocking of inclusion without water. Volume - 1.7 liters. Power - 1850 W. The lid is removable here, unlike all previous TOP participants. Price - 3800 rubles.
Pros:
- Beautiful design;
- good build quality;
- there is a thermometer.
Minuses:
- boils for a long time;
- cools quickly.
Very interesting and beautiful retro style design. There is a thermometer, which can be very useful for some purposes. Removable lid: steam can disinfect things or dishes. Of the minuses - only low power: after all, 1850 watts is not 2200, it boils 1.7 liters longer than its competitors. But this is nit-picking: the kettle is very beautiful, if it suits the interior of your kitchen - take it and don't hesitate, there are no problems here.
Polaris PWK 1741CA
Design similar to Gorenje K17CLI. They are related by the maximum volume - 1.7 liters, and the built-in thermometer, which displays the current water temperature. Polaris PWK 1741CA will be more powerful than Gorenje - 2200 W, so it boils faster. Built-in anti-scale filter, removable lid. The kettle will not turn on when empty. The level indicator is located on the side, like in Gorenje. Price - 3900 rubles.
Pros:
- nice design;
- boils quickly;
- there is a temperature sensor.
There are no downsides.
A wonderful teapot with a vintage design. His main competitor is Gorenje K17CLI, which he bypassed. The Polaris PWK has no problem cooling quickly. The model is more powerful than Gorenje and due to this it boils faster. If you choose a kettle in retro style, I can recommend this particular kettle, as it will be less problematic, more powerful, and will delight you with a stunning view in the kitchen.
REDMOND SkyKettle M171S
This is the first Smart kettle in the ranking. Its volume is 1.7 liters. Power - 2400 W. Its design is standard, the body is metal, inside - plastic is not of the best quality, it has an unpleasant smell. Built-in filter and function of blocking switching on with empty container. There is a thermostat that can heat water to a certain temperature and maintain it. The kettle turns off automatically when removed from the stand. There is a water level indicator, it is conveniently located, and not like in Tesler KT-1755 or Tefal KL 270D. The main feature of this kettle is remote control from a smartphone on Android or iOS. It can be controlled both via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.The user will be able to select the desired temperature (not necessarily boiling) and the time to maintain it (up to 12 hours) - the kettle will do everything at home, you have come home - you have made a cup of coffee. Price - 4300 rubles.
Pros:
- Beautiful design;
- convenience of remote control;
- functionality.
Minuses:
- easily soiled cover (glossy plastic);
- smells like plastic.
Upon purchase, the first time you use the REDMOND SkyKettle M171S will smell of cheap plastic, but this will go away over time. The manufacturer declared the blocking of switching on without water. In fact, the overheating protection works with a probability of 50 to 50, so it is better to make sure that it is not empty. In general, the kettle is very good, technological. You can turn it on half an hour before returning, so that when you come home, you can immediately brew a mug of tea or coffee. This has a certain "wow" effect. The price is not too high, so this is a good option for the money.
Philips HD9359 Avance Collection
The kettle has a standard design. Materials - stainless steel steel and matte black plastic. Functional stand - power button, heating from 40 to 100 degrees in increments of 200 and keeping warm. Built-in blocking of switching on without water. Volume - 1.7 liters. Power - 2200 W. The limescale filter is made of nylon. There is an indication of inclusion. The water level indicator is located inconveniently under the handle. When working, it illuminates the water beautifully, as, for example, does REDMOND RK-M183. Price - 5500 rubles.
Pros:
- appearance;
- temperature selection;
- backlight;
- wide nose.
Minuses:
- no thermometer;
- the lid opens abruptly.
There are no technological "bells and whistles" here, as in the REDMOND SkyKettle M171S. This is a good kettle that will do its job. Assembled with high quality, does not leak. Enough power for a quick boil. The choice of temperature will allow you to warm up the water to the desired one and further maintain it. The functionality is comparable to REDMOND, only that one was controlled from a smartphone, and Philips - a functional stand. For such a price, I would like to see a thermometer, but it was not brought here. The lid opens abruptly, so sometimes hot water droplets may spray out. But such disadvantages are not significant.
De'Longhi KBOV 2001
Volume - 1.7 l. Power - 2000 W. The type of heating element is a closed spiral, its coating is stainless steel. Blocking of inclusion without water, there is a removable cover. There is a built-in anti-scale filter in the spout. There is a power-on indicator, there is an auto-off when removed from the stand. The water level indicator is located under the handle, which is inconvenient. Price - 7500 rubles.
Pros:
- nice design;
- comfortable in using.
Minuses:
- the water level scale is inconveniently located;
- boils water for a long time.
The teapot is mainly bought for its aesthetically pleasing design. From a functional point of view, the kettle does not show anything interesting - only boiling water to 100 degrees. That is, you cannot even select a temperature, as, for example, in Philips HD9359 or REDMOND SkyKettle M171S. It is not clear why give 7,500 rubles for a kettle that cannot do anything when there are other models - functional, high-quality and cheap.
KitchenAid 5KEK1222
Along with De'Longhi KBOV 2001, the design is at a high level, but the functionality is very poor. For 11,200 rubles, we get a scanty volume - 1.25 liters, power - 2200 watts. The most standard blocking of switching on without water. The kettle has a removable lid, a scale filter in the spout and a power indicator. There is also an on / off button for the device. It's all.
Pros:
- stylish design;
- comfortable handle.
Minuses:
- small volume;
- noisy;
- no water level scale.
It is not entirely clear who will need this particular kettle. There is no water level indicator, you have to determine it by eye in the old fashioned way. It makes a lot of noise. It has a scanty volume, which will be enough for 4-5 people. And this is for 11 thousand rubles, without offering any technologies in return? This is a banal water heating up to 100 degrees. With the same success, we can recommend buying Home Element HE-KT-193, he also copes with this task. It is better to take Philips HD9359 for half the price: you will save money and you will be happy. If you really like the design and have an extra 11 thousand, then you can buy it.
Smeg KLF03
As in the KitchenAid 5KEK1222, there is only a beautiful design, a high, unreasonable price, and that's it. Its price is 13,300 rubles. We get a 1.7L device with a capacity of 2400 watts. There is a stainless steel filter. steel. Standard blocking of switching on without water, automatic shutdown of the device when it is removed from the base or when boiling. There is a water level indicator located under the handle, like all other similar kettles - this is inconvenient. The base of the appliance rotates 360 °, which is what most kettles have. That's all, too, there are no interesting "chips" or features here.
Pros:
- nice design;
- works quietly;
- high power.
Minuses:
- leaks;
- heavy;
- low quality.
There are no functional features, which means that it must have a high build quality, because it costs a lot of money. But no. The lid opens when the button is pressed firmly, leaks occur under the liquid level indicator. With prolonged use, the paint starts to crumble. With a weight of 1.7 kg, if you pour it to the maximum, you get 3.4 kg, which is very difficult to spill. Nobody needs such a device. You can only highlight the possibility of boiling up to 100 degrees and the design, which is a matter of taste for everyone. Buying smeg KLF03 is absolutely pointless.
