Rating of the best thermopots for 2022

A thermo pot is an electrical appliance that provides people with hot water at any time of the day or night. You can set the temperature acceptable for users. You don't have to wait long for the liquid to boil.

What is a device

The structural elements of the device are: an inner flask, a heating element, which can be of several types, and a body with a lid and a special hole for pouring water.

The main purpose of the device is as follows:

• maintain the water temperature at the proper level;
• prepare boiling water;
• preserve the properties of drinking water.

Household design allows you to provide users with the constant availability of hot water for preparing all kinds of drinks. This is something in between, between a thermos, a cooler and an electric kettle. Performs the following tasks:

• makes it possible to quickly brew tea;
• ensure prompt preparation of infant formula;
• will allow you to enjoy instant drinks in a timely manner.

This product is not only for home use. It can often be found in offices, catering establishments, production shops, trading floors. Ideal for those who live in regions with frequent power outages. This is especially important for families with small children.

What are the devices

The best manufacturers have filled the market with a huge range of popular models, both inexpensive and at a significant price, large and medium volume, powerful and weak, controlled from a smartphone, and so on. Their separation is carried out by analogy with electric kettles. The main criterion is the type of case, which can be:

• ceramic;
• metallic;
• plastic;
• combined;
• glass.

The average volume is from 2.5 to 8 liters.Power reaches 0.6 - 1 kW.

The heating element can be:

• with disc heater;
• with open heater.

All popular models are equipped with two heating elements. The first is designed to heat water, the second - to maintain the temperature of the liquid. On the shelves of specialized outlets there are devices with combined heaters that combine both functions at the same time. The heaters are equipped with a special coating that prevents corrosion. It can be chrome, silver, gold or nickel plated.

Visually, the heaters look like an external and internal spiral or a closed disk. The presence of an open spiral indicates a budget version of the product, but they will also have to be cleaned with enviable regularity. In addition, the coil must be completely covered with liquid so that it does not overheat and deteriorate.

Devices with a closed spiral are easy to clean, but they are too noisy during operation and their energy consumption is significant. In the presence of a disk heater, the device works almost silently, surpassing its counterparts in heating speed and efficiency. It is considered the best option for office use.

Key parameters

Which company is better to buy depends on the personal preferences of the user. Some look at the rating of quality goods, others are interested in functionality, others are looking for a model for a large family, fourths are attracted by the low price, fifths are satisfied with exceptionally high-power products. Everyone has different selection criteria. However, all experts advise paying attention to the following key characteristics:

Name	Description
Flask volume	A small family of three can use products with a volume of 2.5 - 3 liters.Numerous family members or hospitable housewives should look after the design for 4 - 7 liters. In order to avoid mistakes when choosing, it should be borne in mind that the actual parameters of the flask are slightly less than those declared by the manufacturer. The larger the flask, the slower the liquid cools. Some devices have a minimum amount of water to operate. Some require 200 - 400 ml, while others require at least 1.5 liters. Pay special attention to the liquid scale. It must be clear and readable. It is desirable that the material of manufacture be stainless steel or heat-resistant glass. The metal flask is strong enough, but scratches can appear on it. Glass is too dangerous and fragile, however, environmentally friendly. The water in it has no smell and foreign taste, it is not subject to mechanical damage.
Power consumption	The average indicator during heating reaches 600 - 3000 W / h. The maximum level of consumption in the models is quite rare. Most often, devices are produced with an indicator of electricity consumption from 600 to 850 W / h. Ready to heat the liquid to boiling water in 15 minutes or half an hour. To maintain the temperature at an optimal level, the device operates at a power of 13 to 70 watts.
Temperature regime	Two modes are used in thermo pots: re-boiling and maintaining the temperature of the liquid at a certain level for up to 6 hours. In the first case, it turns on when the water temperature drops to 60 degrees. In advanced models, this mode can be set independently. Many goods put up for sale have from 4 to 6 modes. The most sought after are: • 98 degrees - coffee or tea, cereals and instant noodles are brewed; • 90 degrees - preparing herbal or green tea; • 80 degrees - designed for brewing Japanese tea; • 70 degrees is the optimal temperature for infant formula.
Heating element	Three types are produced: disk, closed and open. We have already covered this issue in this article.
Safety	So that money is not thrown to the wind, it is worthwhile to carefully operate the purchased equipment. It will help to extend the life of the following options: • spill protection; • overheat protection; • function of automatic shutdown at achievement of a state of boiling; • the ability to block the accidental activation of the pump; • impossibility to carry out topping up of liquid in the course of functioning.

Additional functionality for thermopots is considered to be:

• sound signal;
• timer;
• display indicating operating modes;
• self-cleaning;
• the presence of a removable strainer;
• screen backlight;
• delayed start;
• several ways to fill with liquid;
• the ability to rotate the device on the stand;
• a significant number of heating modes;
• blocking the topping up of water during boiling;
• disabling automatic boiling;
• blocking from dry inclusion;
• protection against unintentional pressing.

Product device

In the manufacture of the case, materials such as plastic, glass, ceramics, metal, or a combination thereof are used. To preserve heat, the walls are made double. The flask is removable, reminiscent of a similar element in a thermos. This makes it easier to take care of the product. In the lower part there is a heating element in the form of a disk or a spiral. The body is semi-cylindrical or rectangular. It is equipped with a convenient handle, a device for pouring water, indicators and buttons.On the shelves of retail outlets there are models with backlight and an additional filter, as well as the option of brewing coffee or tea.

Principle of operation

There is nothing complicated in the operation of the device. The first stage is filling the flask with water. Preferably up to the maximum allowable level. Then the power button is pressed. The heating process begins, up to complete boiling. Then the device will turn off thanks to the built-in thermal sensor. The water will cool down slowly, by analogy with a thermos. As soon as the temperature of the liquid drops to the minimum set value, the device will automatically turn on and maintain the temperature at the desired level.

When you need to brew tea or coffee, it is enough to bring a glass under a hole specially adapted for this purpose, and press the liquid supply button. It is not necessary to lift or tilt the structure. Water is supplied under a certain pressure, which makes it possible to provide everyone with boiling water.

The only drawback, compared to an electric kettle, is the too long heating of the liquid to the boiling stage. This indicator is affected by the volume of water, which is larger in the thermopot. However, the cooling process is so long that it is enough to use almost boiling water for six hours in a row, without additional heating.

Which product is better to buy

Once you have decided where you can buy products, you have to solve the difficult task of which model to choose. It is advisable to pay attention to the following characteristics:

1. Time required to bring to a boil. The variety of meanings is impressive. Therefore, it is necessary to choose the best option.
2. Temperature control accuracy. The indicator is not important for everyone, however, there are exceptions. Checking the data is pretty easy.You need to set a certain mode, bring the temperature of the liquid to the maximum value, pour water into the cup, after placing the thermometer there, close the lid and after a few seconds look at the value.
3. Time to fill the cup with water. This is important for those who are in a hurry or have limited free time. Although the indicator is almost the same for all devices.
4. Heat preservation. This is the main purpose of the thermopot. Budget devices are equipped with one mode, while expensive ones have a large number of them. Moreover, the transition from boiling to the heat preservation mode occurs automatically, without human intervention.
5. Boiling period. A significant indicator, but it should be borne in mind that in the presence of an equal volume of liquid, regardless of the manufacturer, the boiling time is almost identical for everyone.

What nuances should you pay attention to in the buying process? The recommendations of experts are as follows:

1. Turning on the device should be convenient and easy.
2. The menu is desirable to choose Russified.
3. The font should be large, with contrasting clear symbols.
4. The scale has clear divisions and numbers.
5. Check the stability of the thermopot. Marriage can be detected instantly by placing the device on a flat surface. If it staggers or stands unevenly, then you should refuse to purchase a model.
6. The quality of the connection of the body with the cover. This guarantees a long period of heat retention, ease of use and safety.
7. Check the quality of the lid lock. He shouldn't eat. Many cheap options have this disadvantage.
