These, in particular, include Bork electric kettles.
Boiling point: Bork kettles
In order to choose reliable and high-quality equipment that will last for a long time without interruptions and negative moments, you need to thoroughly prepare: study the main parameters and characteristics, price offers and analogue products. Kettles, the price of which can both please and terrify, may differ in the type of heating element, the types of materials used. Design, appearance, additional functions also affect the cost.
The Bork kettle is a piece of equipment that combines sophisticated style, modern controls, quality materials and safety inoperation.
Varieties and main differences
Bork electric kettles come in many models, but the most popular and noteworthy are k800 and its modifications in other colors, k711, k700, k503, k515, and one of the newest ones - k810.

It has a mechanical control, LED water level illumination, sound signals at the end of the boiling mode, the function of blocking the supply of current in case of insufficient water, and the ability to rotate the contact base by 360º.
Models 700, 701, 702, unlike the k500-503 series, have a more modern elongated shape, silent boiling, shutdown indication, as well as a safe shutdown if there is not enough water in the tank. These kettles have special diffusers, the function of which is to ensure silent boiling. The fundamental difference between models 700, 701 and 702 is in the body color.

The first model is a stylish device that is designed for a volume of 1.7 liters, has five different temperature modes that differ depending on the drink: coffee, black or green tea, and others. Also in this kettle there is a function of maintaining a constant temperature and an annular diffuser, whichensures quiet operation.
The k800 is available in a variety of colors to match your kitchen design.

This device can rightfully be called "smart", since tea brewing will take place completely without your participation. You only need to press the start button and select the mode, the kettle will do the rest by itself.
Key Features
First of all, it is worth noting that any Bork kettle is equipped with a sound indication of water heating, and in the k810 model, the sound signal notifies not about the moment of boiling or heating, but about when the tea is brewed. Also, the latest model boasts a delayed start function, i.e. you can program the kettle in the evening so that it turns on at 7 am and brews fresh tea.
The peculiar control panel that can be seen on the soles of the latest teapots is easy to use.
Also, a peculiar highlight of the teapots of this company is the presence of an annular diffuser, which ensures quiet operation of the device. Although the older models are still quite noisy, the newer models will please you with quiet operation. The only thing you will hear are beeps when the tea is ready.
Safety as one of the main parameters
In the modern world, safety is an important criterion when choosing any equipment. This issue is especially relevant if the house has smallchildren who may inadvertently turn on an empty kettle.
It is worth noting that all models of Bork kettles, even the oldest ones, are equipped with a special system that will not allow the kettle to turn on if there is not enough water in it.

Flaws
Because all items, even those that at a glanceperfect, have flaws, the Bork teapot also has a few minuses. To some, they will seem unprincipled. No, it’s worth saying right away that Bork produces wonderful and high-quality teapots. The price is what confuses some buyers. The cost of the device is quite high, depending on the store, it ranges from 12 to 14 thousand rubles, but you have to pay for quality.
Also, according to some hostesses, the metal case is both a positive and a negative side, since it constantly collects fingerprints on itself. The problem is not so serious, and prints can be easily wiped off with a napkin, but still considered a disadvantage. Also, the metal case during boiling water heats up significantly. Therefore, you need to wean yourself and others from taking on the kettle with your hands.
