Choosing a thermo for home

Thermopot is a great alternative to a teapot or cooler, it’s enough to choose a suitable model for home, cottage or office. Despite the fact that the appliance has appeared on the market recently, many users have already managed to appreciate it. It perfectly combines two devices: an electric kettle and a thermos. Unusual equipment is designed to boil water and maintain its temperature in a given mode. In comparison with the usual kettles, the thermo-sweat bypasses them in a few steps in all the basic parameters: cost-effectiveness, volume and functionality. To buy a high-quality thermopot, you need to know which parameters it is better to navigate when choosing, and the manufacturer will not be the last in this list.

General overview of technology

The principle of operation thermopot is quite simple: the device brings the liquid to a boil, after which it keeps it hot for a long time - about 6 hours. Thus, the user saves both time and energy.

Thermopot volume may be different: from 2.5 to 8 liters. On what value to stop the choice - the owner decides. Consider how often there is a need for hot water. The acquisition will not be profitable if the user has only 2 to 3 cups of tea per day, an ordinary medium-sized kettle will easily cope with this task. But for the office or a large family thermopot will be an excellent and useful assistant in the kitchen.

Externally, the device is significantly different from the usual electric kettle. Thermopot has large size, it should be installed permanently, in a designated place. Pour the liquid with a jug, the device does not substitute a stream of water. The boiling water is supplied in a cooler or coffee machine - using an integrated pump. Before you choose a thermo for home, cottage or office, be sure to familiarize yourself with the features of the device.

Advantages and disadvantages of thermopot

Thermopot is a rather useful invention, among its advantages we can highlight the following:

• hot water for several hours;
• profitability;
• the ability to set the required water temperature;
• security, the case of the device does not heat up, therefore, it is impossible to get burned about it;
• Despite its impressive size, the thermotube is easy to use.

Along with the advantages, thermopot has some disadvantages:

• the device boils water for 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the volume and power;
• in most cases, the thermotube will need to be permanently connected to the network;
• user will face tasks like monthly filter change, descaling - all this will require additional costs;
• some models make a noticeable noise in the process of boiling water;
• the installed filter can slightly increase the time of boiling water;
• modifications like a cooler slowly pour water, by virtue of its design.

Assessing the shortcomings, it can be noted that the installation of the filter is not mandatory, especiallyif water purification systems are installed on pipes or you use Aquaphor-type filter jars. Descaling is required anyway, the device itself will signal this. In fact, it is not necessary to buy special pills, users write reviews that you can do with improvised folk remedies. By the way, purified water practically does not leave scale, so the cleaning process will be “formal”.

Many owners of thermosets complain that the device slowly pours water. If this characteristic is important - be sure to read reviews about the selected model, read the description of the device.

How to choose a thermopot

Structurally, thermopot is much more complicated than an ordinary kettle, respectively, and the selection criteria are much higher. In addition, there are modifications thermopot when the device pours not only boiling water, but also water of a set or room temperature at the same time. For example, the THD2021 model from Bosch - this device perfectly combines a cooler and a classic thermo sweat.

Design features

The principle of operation of a thermos is different, there are models equipped with additional heating element. Its task is to maintain the temperature of the water, including the set one. The tan periodically turns on and off, so the water does not cool. At the same time, the thermotube constantly needs electricity, the energy consumption for heating does not exceed 35-40 W per hour.

There are other designs with good thermal insulationHere, the device works identically to a conventional thermos, which makes it possible to disconnect it from the mains. Boiling water cools down continuously, but very slowly. Naturally, after a day the water will become normal room temperature.

pay attention to pump type (pump) water supply, it is of three types.

1. Automatic when water is poured into a preset mug without a user command.
2. Semi-automatic - water supply by pressing a button or a lever.
3. Manual will allow to fill a cup by means of the mechanical pump, the device can be disconnected from a network.

Not so long ago there were new versions of the thermotube, where it is provided availability of a second water tank. One is for boiling water, but the temperature of the second can be adjusted. This combination somewhat expands the possibilities of using a household appliance.

Among other design features can be identified:

• removable cup holder;
• power cord compartment;
• water backlight when boiling;
• removable cover.

Additional option

Thermopot has a rather extensive set of additional functions, low-end models contain 2–3 of them, but top devices can include almost everything.

1. Temperature control all models have a difference in the number of steps. As experienced users say, at least three is enough. Available range from 50 to 90 ° C.
2. Protective options: child lock, power on lock without water.
3. Display availability will inform the user about all current processes, for example, display the water temperature.
4. Lowering steam generation.
5. Self-cleaning is a pretty useful option that will save you time.
6. The wake-up timer allows you to set individual settings.
7. Indication on / water level / filter change / cleaning.
8. Adjustment of a single portion of liquid 120/150/200/250/300 ml.

It is better to buy what thermal trait, what options it should have - it is up to the user to decide.It cannot be said that all additional features will become necessary, but, at times, some of them are priorities. The more various functions a device contains, the higher its cost will be.

If we consider that the thermopot is a young device, we can conclude that the early models have some flaws, both in terms of electronics, and constructive. Optimally choose the devices of the last or the penultimate years of release, so you will save yourself from acquiring the "raw design".

For the same reason, it is better to buy a thermopot of a well-known company, which one does not play a role, it is important that the device be manufactured by a reliable manufacturer. Small companies do not have the capacity to develop new and high-quality equipment, although they are able to provide the buyer with a good electric kettle using the established technology.

The best models from well-known manufacturers

Check out the list of popular models, according to users. It was they who collected the most positive reviews from the owners. Here are the brands of various levels, from the premium segment to the budget. Choosing a company and model, build on your budget and necessary functions.

THD2021 from Bosch

Model in a plastic case, which was mentioned above. Strictly speaking, this thermopot has enough negative reviews, but they are all too subjective. This device is designed for a family of one or two people, because the volume of the reservoir is only 2 liters, and the useful one is somewhat smaller. Thermopot automatically requires an additive if water runs out.

This is the model with additional water tank, the thermotube makes it possible to pour boiling water or water at room temperature at the same time. Convenience will require high energy consumption, the device power is twice as high as the average - 1.6 kW.

Other technical data fully justify the cost:

• 5 modes of temperature control;
• lock from accidental launch;
• filter on / change indicator.

Of the minuses - the device works noisy when it heats the water, the plastic case does not inspire confidence, although no evidence of cracks or reflow has been identified.

For those who have looked at this or a similar model thermopot, it should be borne in mind that here the water will not be brought to an absolute boil. The device is able to heat the liquid only up to 98 °, which means that the use of tap water is undesirable.
