Each person sooner or later faces a choice, deciding which model of a teapot he should buy. According to experts, Scarlett SC-1024 is a good option for everyday use. To make sure of this, you need to get to know him better.
Product description
The Scarlett SC-1024 model appeared on store shelves in 2013 and immediately attracted the attention of customers. Of particular interest was its unusual design and appearance. This is not surprising, because the Russian-Chinese company Scarlett has been manufacturing household appliances for twenty years. She successfully represents four main groups of goods on the international market: irons, vacuum cleaners, kettles and hair dryers. For many years, the company's specialists have studied consumer demand well and know what users need. Scarlett SC-1024 is the most striking of all known models of the company.
It looks very elegant and can serve as a real decoration for any kitchen. This kettle has several distinctive features:
- Glass case. The transparent bowl is almost invisible on the table and does not take away part of the free space of the room.
- Large capacity to accommodate the heating element, which gives the impression of an additional stand.
- Neon lights. During boiling, boiling water looks very beautiful in the rays of blue light.
This kettle is extremely convenient. In it, a person can visually monitor the progress of the process of heating water, as well as monitor the condition of the inner surface of the device itself.
Main characteristics
Before you purchase any electrical device, you must familiarize yourself with its characteristics. Scarlett SC-1024 is a 2.2 kW main type product. The kettle’s body volume is designed to heat 1.7 liters of water, which is enough for home use. On the outside for visual inspection, a liquid level scale is applied. It indicates the minimum and maximum limits that should not be crossed in order to avoid damage to the equipment. However, manufacturers have provided some security features. If the water is poured less than the lower limit, the kettle simply will not turn on. But exceeding the maximum level can lead to splashing and unwanted injuries. There are two buttons on the handle of the product. One of them is designed to turn on the device, and the second allows you to lift the lid by pressing lightly. This kettle is equipped with another security system. It is an isolation of the internal disk. As a result, moisture can never get inside and directly touch both the heating element and the backlight system.
Design features
Kettle Scarlett SC-1024 has many pretty interesting individual features. First, pay attention to the material from which it is made. The combination of glass and plastic looks very harmonious. The model is made in two versions: black and white. In addition, the inserts, painted under the metal, give some rigor to its elegant design. And the kettle itself is quite light, as its weight is only 1.16 kilograms. The device has a special filter that is mounted in the upper part of the housing and is designed to prevent possible impurities from entering the cup. However, it is not removable and a little interferes with cleaning.
A distinctive feature of the device is that, being on a stand, it can rotate 360 degrees freely in any direction. This is especially convenient in confined spaces, when there is very little free space on the table. In addition, the stand has a special compartment for the cable, which allows you to adjust the length of the cord depending on the distance to the electrical outlet.
Customer reviews
Over the years, a lot of people have already managed to purchase the Scarlett SC-1024. User reviews about it are mixed. Each owner notes some of their positive and negative sides of the device. Many people like a glass bulb as a case. Firstly, it looks spectacular. And secondly, glass allows you to monitor the condition of the inner surface for regular cleaning. Users also like the backlight, which turns ordinary kitchenware into a piece of decor.
But there are also negative points that potential buyers must know about:
- Water in such a kettle boils for a very long time. Moreover, automatic shutdown does not occur immediately, but only after several tens of seconds of intensive drilling.
- Poor fastening of the lid leads to the fact that after a short time it ceases to close and completely breaks.
- The noise level that the kettle creates during boiling exceeds the usual norms. And if the water in the case is filled to the maximum, then the device in addition begins to vibrate, causing fear that it might turn over.
- The curved shape of the nose sometimes leads to excessive transfusion of fluid on the sides.
- The filter is very small. Therefore, he does not fulfill his mission, and water flows freely around him.
Nevertheless, many evaluate the new model as quite satisfactory.
Price of pleasure
How much does a Scarlett SC-1024 electric kettle cost? In different Russian stores, the price of such a product is approximately the same. Depending on the level of a particular outlet, the cost of such a device is from 1400 to 1500 rubles.
A slight difference in price, probably due to the fact that this product is the product of a joint Sino-Russian enterprise. Registered in the UK, it has been pleasing customers with its products for twenty years. True, production workshops are mainly located in China and other countries in southeast Asia. But this does not prevent the organization of constant deliveries to Russian stores. Any retail facility in our country that sells small-sized household appliances for the kitchen has Scarlett products in its assortment. According to the employees of these enterprises, the demand for them is quite high. By the way, these products also come to the countries of the former Union from Russia.
Bright representative
According to sellers, the most popular is the white kettle Scarlett SC-1024. At first glance, it attracts the attention of buyers. The original combination of snow-white plastic with large inserts, painted under the metal, gives the product an elegant look. This is important in a room such as a kitchen, where everything should look perfect and please the eye.
In addition, the function buttons in black stand out perfectly on the white handle. This facilitates the work with the device and makes it convenient to use. At the same time, white details are more noticeable pollution, without which it is almost impossible to do with the constant use of the device. But this issue is easily resolved using conventional sanitization. True, it needs to be carried out much more often and more thoroughly than, for example, for a black teapot. Otherwise, all representatives of this model are identical and have the same technological parameters.
