Philips is a teapot that is very popular in many countries. Its excellent design and excellent technological characteristics are sometimes a decisive factor for buyers when choosing the right product.
A bit of history
Many believe that the first electric kettle appeared at the end of the 19th century. This period coincides with the time when Frederick and Gerard Philips opened a company in the Dutch city of Eindhoven. This happened in 1891. At first, father and son were exclusively engaged in the production of electric lamps. After the youngest son Frederic Anton joined the family business, the company's business went uphill. The company received many serious orders, which brought her great profits and made it possible to expand its production. Over time, the company became interested in the manufacture of radios, televisions, electric shavers and medical equipment. And a little later, after the British, they launched the production of electric kettles. Steps in this direction gave a good result. Now Philips is the kettle that any housewife dreams of.
These products sell well in many countries of the world. In some of them, like Russia, separate representative offices were opened, which, in essence, are distribution companies. With their help today, Philips is a teapot that can be bought at any specialized store in our country on fairly favorable terms. This fact helps to increase sales, which cannot but please the manufacturer.
Design Features
Now we can safely say that Philips is a kettle that can satisfy the needs of even the most demanding customer. It organically combines stylish design, a high degree of reliability and excellent quality. The product range is updated every year with modern innovations. This allows the company to always occupy a leading position among the world's leading manufacturers. At first, the apparatus was equipped with a conventional heating coil, which allowed boiling water faster than over an open fire. Later, this element was replaced by a disk, which coped with such work much faster. Additional functions appeared in the devices: a light and sound signal, as well as the ability to automatically disconnect from the network after boiling liquid. To improve the organoleptic qualities of water, devices began to be equipped with nylon filters. This prevented scale from entering the drink and improved its palatability. Making hot coffee or tea using these machines has become a matter of minutes.
Rating of goods for the kitchen
In many countries, the quality of Philips kitchen appliances has long been appreciated. Some even think that their electric kettles are the best in their category. Of course, one can argue with this statement. But the advantages of such products compared to ordinary teapots are clearly undeniable.
Among the many indicators, we can especially highlight:
- Water heating rate. In the modern rhythm of life, it is stupid to waste time on long waiting. An electric kettle will quickly turn cold water into boiling water, which can then be used for its intended purpose.
- The device device has the function of automatically disconnecting from the mains. Using a conventional apparatus, you have to constantly monitor so as not to miss the moment of boiling. People even came up with special whistles that serve as a special warning tool. Nevertheless, it was still necessary to go to the kitchen to remove the kettle from the stove. With the help of circuit breakers, this problem was resolved. Now there is no need to control the operation of the device. It is enough just to turn it on, and then use it as needed.
- This technique is convenient to use in an office where it is forbidden to use stoves and other devices of open heating.
- Electric kettles can be used in homes where gas piping is difficult. It can be both private houses and places of public catering.
All of the above characteristics allow us to conclude that electric kettles are the best helpers of a person in a busy modern life.
Graceful model
Not so long ago, a transparent Philips teapot appeared on sale. Glass is the main material from which the body of the new model was made. Outwardly, it did not look quite ordinary. But such a decision was justified. Glass of a special brand (SCHOTT DURAN), made in Germany, has special strength and heat resistance, which is ideal for the process of heating a liquid. Thanks to him, the Philips HD 9342 model has acquired additional practicality and durability.
The remaining parts of the model are made of plastic and stainless steel. By design, the new device is somewhat different from previous options. At the bottom there is still a compartment for a fairly long wire, but the power lever is located below the handle. This eliminates the possibility of accidental clicking. There is a button on top for mechanically opening the lid. It is very convenient and does not require much effort. The wide top of the flask allows you to freely clean the inner surface of the product. In such a kettle it is convenient to control the water level. No need to look closely at the scale. The divisions are applied directly to the body. It is much more convenient and practical.
Best buy
Today, many want to buy a Philips kettle. The price of a product, as a rule, depends on several significant factors:
- bowl volume (1.5–1.7 liters);
- power (2200-2400 watts);
- material (glass, stainless steel, plastic);
- additional functions.
An important condition is also considered a shopping facility in which the buyer is going to purchase this product. Many stores arrange special promotions, setting discounts on different models. Such a marketing move often attracts customers and decides for them the question of choice. The simplest plastic specimens with a bowl volume of one and a half liters, as a rule, cost from 1800 to 2000 rubles. This is a pretty reasonable price. More complex models with a backlight, a sound signal emitted when boiling, and a maximum volume will cost customers a little more. Their cost ranges from 3900 to 4200 rubles. In any case, the choice always remains with the consumer. It is up to him to decide which of the proposed devices will later be in his kitchen.
Subjective Opinions
Many people have already chosen Philips kettles for daily use. Owner reviews allow us to judge the quality and competitiveness of these products.
Almost all of them consider the heating rate to be the main distinguishing feature of the products of this company. Water boils very quickly, which makes it possible to save time. The next distinctive feature is the shape. Almost all models have a wide neck through which it is easy to draw water and sanitize. Among the positive qualities can be added and silent operation. Sometimes it is not even clear if the device is working. Only seething water and a click of a lever testify to the end of the process.
Thanks to the company's designers, all models look very aesthetically pleasing and presentable. This helps to cheer up and relieve excessive emotional stress. True, some users claim that they would like to make their design changes. This mainly concerns the length of the wire. Sometimes the remoteness of the electrical outlet does not allow you to put the device where you would like. But such a remark cannot be attributed to flaws. After all, there are many extension cords that can easily solve a similar problem.
