TOP 10 best glass electric kettles according to customer reviews

Perhaps it is glass electric kettles that are considered the most "spectacular", because the whole process of boiling water is clearly visible through the transparent walls. The owners of these teapots claim that this is a fascinating and distracting sight, especially if a child is growing up in the house.

So, if you decide to "update" your device for making tea and coffee, and want to make the best choice - be sure to read our rating of the best glass electric kettles.

What to focus on when choosing?

A few words about the features of glass electric kettles. They are positioned as stylish and eco-friendly appliances that will become a topical decoration of modern kitchens and are effective in making drinks. The simplest models are made of plastic and glass or metal and glass, have a standard volume (1.5-1.7 liters), power (from 1.8 to 2.2 kWh), all the necessary functions (water level indicators and device operation). An electric kettle backlight can serve as a beautiful addition, and from practical upgrades - the presence of a thermostat, display, sound indication, teapot included. The most "advanced" glass electric kettles can be controlled remotely via BlueTooth. It is worth noting that for all the seeming fragility, these are rather reliable and durable devices that are very convenient to use. The speed of boiling water is an order of magnitude higher than that of ceramic electric kettles, in addition, glass models are free from scale formation and foreign odors - you just need to use purified water.

In short, choosing a brand is a matter of personal preference. In the assortment of such giants as Bosch, Philips, Tefal, you can always find models that are excellent in quality and functionality. Less advertised companies - Scarlett, Vitek, Clatronic, Kitfort, Sinbo, Redmond, etc. are also ready to offer consumers reliable and stylish glass electric kettles.

If we talk about technical parameters, then such indicators as volume, the presence of different boiling modes, protection against switching on without water, ergonomics and even noise during boiling come to the fore. It is worth paying attention to the quality of the material (especially in glass-plastic models), the density and reliability of the fasteners, the accuracy of the assembly.

Our top 10 best glass electric kettles are compiled based on real customer reviews, who have already been able to assess the advantages and disadvantages of using such a device. So read on and make your choice!

Glass electric kettles attract attention with the ability to monitor how the water heats up and boils. The sight is mesmerizing, especially if the kettle has lighting. But what else can surprise an ordinary kettle, why are the prices for some models so high? Not a single store represented by its representatives will tell you the truth. I studied all the offers on the market, the opinions of experts and consumers, and I am ready to present you the TOP-10 glass teapots from several price segments, with and without additional functions.

STARWIND SKG2212

STARWIND is a Russian brand with production in China. Less than a year ago, he offered the consumer an illuminated glass teapot in different body colors. There are 8 of them. SKG2212 - orange. The lower part of the case, handle and cover are made of plastic. The volume of 1.8 liters is more than enough for a family of 3-4 people. There are indicators for inclusion and water level. The spout of the kettle is equipped with a filter for cleaning it, which is a big plus for an inexpensive model. Price - 1000 rubles.

pros

• nice;
• comfortable;
• not very noisy;
• heats water quickly;
• filter for water purification.

Minuses:

• the smell of plastic at first;
• lack of temperature maintenance function;
• the lid opens 45 degrees;
• fragility. The manufacturer promises at least a 3-year service life, but a number of users complain about failure after 6-12 months. Most often, problems arise with the lid and the heating element;
• short power cord.

STARWIND SKG2212 is one of a series of teapots made of colored glass. It performs its functions, but judging by user reviews, it is unreliable, has a large percentage of defects. I recommend considering more practical models - VITEK VT-7037 or Polaris PWK 1719CGL.

VITEK VT-7037

Unlike STARWIND SKG2212 is made of glass and steel, odorless plastic. From the standpoint of design, it is no less interesting: it is made in the form of a jug and has a light blue backlight. Of the technical differences, it is worth highlighting the blocking of inclusion without water. Otherwise, it is similar to STARWIND SKG2212. Price - 1300 rubles.

Pros:

• design;
• beautiful lighting;
• not very noisy;
• boils quickly;
• there is protection against switching on without water;
• compartment for storing the power cord.

Minuses:

• inconvenient location of the power button (on the bottom of the handle);
• lack of temperature maintenance function;
• the water purification filter quickly clogs.

This electric kettle is at least more reliable than STARWIND SKG2212. Plus there is no smell of plastic, there is protection against switching on without water. I think this already costs an overpayment of 300 rubles.

Polaris PWK 1719CGL

It differs from the two previous participants in the rating in volume - 1.7 liters. In practice, the difference is almost imperceptible. Case material - glass / metal, high quality assembly. The backlight is neon, blue. Protection is represented by blocking the inclusion of an empty electric kettle. Price - 1600 rubles.

Pros:

• design;
• beautiful lighting;
• protection against turning on the device without water;
• compartment for storing the cord.

Minuses:

• the power button is located inconveniently (on the bottom of the handle);
• does not turn off for a long time when boiling;
• lack of temperature maintenance function;
• noisy;
• short power cord;
• small cover.

This kettle is not bad, but is it worth the money? Choosing from Polaris PWK 1719CGL and VITEK VT-7037, you need to rely on taste subjective preferences (shape, lighting). Technically, these teapots are not much different. With a limited budget, you can save and purchase VITEK VT-7037.

REDMOND RK-G181

The manufacturer has long won a place in kitchens. The RK-G181 model is also popular: 85% of buyers are satisfied and recommend the kettle for purchase. Thanks to the Strix controllers REDMOND RK-G181 turns off when it boils, overheats, lack of water and is removed from the stand. Volume - 1.7 liters. Case material - plastic / glass, blue backlight. Price - 1800 rubles.

Pros:

• design;
• beautiful lighting;
• boils quickly;
• protection against switching on without water;
• quiet work;
• shutdown when removed from the stand;
• compartment for storing the power cord.

Minuses:

• short power cord;
• inconvenient spout design;
• sweat when boiling on the top cover, which, when opened, flows down onto the handle and can get into the power button;
• unreliable: users complain about the failure of the heating element within the warranty period.

For a device for 1800 rubles, REDMOND RK-G181 often breaks down, judging by user reviews. In general, a decent electric kettle, but you can save money and buy VITEK VT-7037, Polaris PWK 1719CGL or look for something else in the upper budget segment.

Scarlett SC-EK27G58

Differs in advanced functionality. It can heat water up to the set temperature.The thermostat turns off the kettle when the water reaches a temperature of 40, 70, 80, 90 and 100 degrees. This is true for those who value correctness in everything. For example, the optimal temperature for brewing green tea is 80 degrees, and baby food should be filled with water at a temperature of 40 degrees. Maintains user-specified water temperature. The control is intuitive - 2 buttons on the handle + light indication of the active mode. To understand which mode is on, multi-backlighting will help: for each temperature mode - its own color. The design of the metal parts of the case deserves attention - they are corrugated and resemble honeycombs. The price is 2300 rubles.

Pros:

• design;
• 5 temperature modes;
• maintaining the set temperature;
• multi-backlight;
• boils quickly;
• quiet work.

Minuses:

• short power cord;
• the cover is difficult to open.

Scarlett SC-EK27G58 is a good home appliance where the quality of tea is appreciated, it will heat water to the optimal temperature for preparing different varieties. Will be an assistant for young mothers who prepare infant formula. If the function of temperature modes is not needed, then you can save about 1,000 rubles and buy VITEK VT-7037.

REDMOND SkyKettle G210S

Refers to "smart" teapots. This is the most versatile device in the ranking. There is remote control from a smartphone via the Ready for Sky mobile application, you can also find statistics there, but more on that later. Main characteristics: volume - 1.7 l, body material - glass + plastic. There is a thermostat - 5 temperature modes and automatic temperature maintenance. Protective functions - cover blocking and switching on without water. Backlight - LEDs capable of transmitting the entire spectrum of colors. By default, they light up the bulb in blue and green. Now to the fun part. The kettle belongs to Yandex Smart House, REDMOND. The Ready for Sky mobile application significantly expands the capabilities of the device. You can choose the color of the backlight, use the disco mode, when the backlight changes to the beat of the music playing on the smartphone. The temperature can be flexibly adjusted up to 1 degree, you can choose the duration of boiling depending on the quality of the water, use the "fresh water" function. The latter means that it needs to be changed. The manufacturer also took care of his little consumers. The kettle can become part of an educational game. The smartphone application offers to train memory, attention and guess the color, actively involving the kettle in the process. But that's not all: the device can boil water at your command or at a scheduled event in the application. Turning on at a certain time and heating to a certain temperature can be one-time, daily or according to a schedule, for example, only on weekdays. Now the kettle can be controlled from anywhere: just download Gateway on Android and synchronize it with the device that controls the kettle using Bluetooth. Now you can remotely use the main control application to give it commands from anywhere. The key condition is that the main control device must be close to the kettle and be charged. Price - 2400 rubles.

Pros:

• design;
• 5 temperature modes;
• maintaining the set temperature;
• sound notification of the end of work;
• advanced functionality;
• control from a smartphone;
• built-in games for children;
• control from any device from anywhere through the Gateway;
• boils quickly.

Minuses:

• short power cord;
• connection with the phone is constantly lost, every time after turning off the smartphone you have to re-sync;
• reset of all settings when removed from the stand;
• uncomfortable nose;
• connecting a smartphone to the device is not easy;
• noisy work;
• protection against switching on without water sometimes does not work;
• increased fire hazard.

A "smart" kettle for only 2,400 rubles at first seems like a good buy, but judging by user reviews, turning it on unattended is fraught with consequences. You can use the remote control and scheduled activation options, but at your own risk.What remains in the end: the choice of the temperature regime, maintenance of the set temperature, educational games for children. The latter option is unlikely to be used by anyone on a daily basis. If you know that you won't need it, choose a simpler kettle, for example, Scarlett SC-EK27G58. It is cheaper by only 100 rubles, it is not “friendly” with a smartphone, but according to user reviews, it is much more reliable.

Kitfort KT-623

A kettle of the Russian brand with a volume of 1.5 liters, made in China. Its feature is design. It looks spectacular and expensive, made of glass and steel, has a built-in teapot - a convenient addition if you need to quickly brew a large amount of hot drink for guests. When brewing green tea, you can select the brewing mode for it thanks to the thermostat, which heats the water to a certain temperature - the 5 most common temperature modes are set. Unlike REDMOND SkyKettle G210S, when removing it from the stand, the programmed mode does not go astray, however, you need to have time to return it to its place in 1 minute. Price - 2600 rubles.

Pros:

• design;
• build quality;
• multi-backlight;
• the ability to change the mode when heating;
• maintaining the set temperature;
• sound accompaniment of pressing a button and finishing work;
• the presence of a tea pot;
• boils very quickly;
• low noise level.

Minuses:

• implementation of a tea brewing system;
• weak backlight, barely noticeable during the day;
• loud warning system;
• short power cord.

Unlike REDMOND SkyKettle G210S, this kettle is practical. It does not offer additional "smart" functions that not everyone and not always will use, but it can brew tea, do it at the optimal temperature for any brewing, and maintain it while your guests enjoy the drink. If they want more, they don't have to wait for heating. Kitfort KT-623 is a dream kettle for tea lovers. Only the KT-622 model from the same manufacturer can compete with it.

Kitfort KT-622

Big brother Kitfort KT-623. It features an increased volume of up to 1.7 liters. The next difference is the removal of the control panel to the support - 6 buttons. I think this solution is very successful: the buttons are large, the controls are intuitive. There is a tea pot: it is interchangeable with the one that comes with the KT-623. The backlight is blue, unlike the KT-623, where it changes along with the temperature regime. Here the button of the selected mode is highlighted in blue. Sound indication of events is similar to KT-623. Price - 3500 rubles.

Pros:

• design;
• build quality;
• volume - 1.7 l;
• the ability to change the mode when heating;
• maintaining the set temperature;
• accompaniment of pressing the button and ending the work with sound;
• there is a tea pot;
• boils quickly;
• low noise level.

Minuses:

• implementation of a tea brewing system;
• scale forms quickly;
• scale of the volume of liquid on one side only;
• weak backlight, barely noticeable during the day;
• the designation of the buttons is applied with paint and is erased over time;
• loud warning system;
• short power cord.

Kitfort KT-622 is a teapot for tea lovers. User reviews testify to its reliability: 95% recommend it for purchase, although the price is not low at all. If the volume of 1.5 liters is enough, then it is better to save money by taking the KT-623 model from the same manufacturer. The savings will amount to about 1 thousand rubles.

Tefal KI 760D

The manufacturer, without whose ideas, according to the advertisement, we cannot do, presents a glass teapot with a volume of 1.7 liters. It is made of glass and steel, the materials are of high quality, there are no complaints about the assembly either. The backlighting is implemented in the form of blue LEDs, which illuminate not the device's bulb, but an operating indicator in the lower part of the case. Price - 4200 rubles. In my opinion, it is overstated. Kitfort KT-622, for example, with extended functionality costs 700 rubles cheaper.

Pros:

• design;
• build quality;
• volume - 1.7 l;
• boils quickly;
• low noise level.

Minuses:

• price;
• the design does not allow to pour out water completely;
• does not always turn off on its own;
• sometimes the lid opens;
• weak backlight.

The price of this electric kettle is not justified. In fact, there is no promised backlight, the lid opens spontaneously.I cannot recommend it because of high-quality materials or a well-known brand, at least at the price that the manufacturer demands for it. The budget VITEK VT-7037 copes with boiling no worse, and costs 3 times cheaper.

Philips HD9340

Another teapot, when you look at the price tag of which you want to ask: what is that kind of money for? Made of glass and metal, it has a volume of 1.5 liters. There are no complaints about material or build quality. No complaints about speed or noise during operation. The promised backlighting is realized in the form of a red blinking of the power button: here the manufacturer misleads the consumer - there is simply no case backlighting.

Pros:

• Beautiful design;
• build quality;
• water boils quickly, does not cool for a long time;
• low noise level.

Minuses:

• consumer deception - there is no declared case illumination;
• price;
• the case is very hot;
• judging by the reviews, it often flows without even having served the warranty period.

Philips HD9340 does not cost 5500 rubles. Any inexpensive model can be more reliable and perform better. The "smart" REDMOND SkyKettle G210S with advanced functionality costs 3 thousand rubles cheaper, and the reliable Kitfort with a tea infuser included in the set and real case lighting will also save your budget.
