Philips is a teapot that is very popular in many countries. Its excellent design and excellent technological characteristics are sometimes the 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 just coincides with the time when Frederick and Gerard Philips opened their company in the Dutch city of Eindhoven. This happened in 1891. At first, father and son were engaged exclusively in the production of electric lamps. After the youngest son of Frederick Anton joined the family business, the company's business went uphill. The company received many serious orders, which brought it large 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, following the British, they launched the production of electric kettles. Steps in this direction have yielded good results. Now "Philips" is a teapot that any housewife dreams of.
This product sells well in many countries around the world. In some of them, like Russia, separate representative offices were opened, which, in fact, are distribution companies. With their help, today "Philips" is a kettle that can be bought at any specialized store in our country on fairly favorable terms. This circumstance helps to increase sales volumes, which cannot but please the manufacturer.
Design features
Now we can say with full confidence that Philips is a kettle that can satisfy even the most demanding customer. It organically combines stylish design, high degree of reliability and excellent quality. The product range is replenished every year with modern novelties. This allows the company to always take a leading position among the world's leading manufacturers. At first, the apparatus was equipped with a conventional heating coil, which made it possible to boil water faster than over an open fire. Later, this element was replaced by a disk that did this job 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 the liquid. To improve the organoleptic qualities of water, devices began to be equipped with nylon filters. This prevented scale from getting into the drink and improved its taste. Preparing hot coffee or tea with the help of such devices has become a matter of minutes.
Rating of goods forcuisine
Many countries have long appreciated the quality of Philips kitchen appliances. Some even consider their electric kettles to be the best in their category. With this statement, of course, one can argue. But the advantages of such products over ordinary teapots are clearly undeniable.
Among the numerous indicators, the following stand out:
- Water heating speed. In the conditions of the modern rhythm of life, it is foolish to waste time on a long wait. The 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 automatic disconnection from the mains. Using a conventional apparatus, you have to constantly monitor so as not to miss the moment of boiling. People have even come up with special whistles that serve as a special means of notification. However, it was still required to go to the kitchen to remove the kettle from the stove. With the help of automatic switches, this problem was solved. 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 open heating devices.
- Electric kettles can be used in homes where gas supply is difficult. It can be both private houses and places of public catering.
All of the above characteristics allow us to conclude that electric kettlesare the best helpers of a person in a busy modern life.
Slim 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 normal. But such a decision was fully justified. The special grade glass (SCHOTT DURAN) made in Germany is particularly strong and heat resistant, which is ideal for the liquid heating process. Thanks to him, the Philips HD 9342 has gained additional practicality and durability.
The rest of the model is made of plastic and stainless steel. The design of the new device is somewhat different from the previous versions. In the lower part there is still a compartment for a fairly long wire, but the power lever is already located below the handle. This eliminates the possibility of accidentally pressing it. On top there is a button for mechanically opening the lid. It is very convenient and does not require much effort. The wide top part of a flask allows to make cleaning of an internal surface of a product freely. In this kettle it is convenient to control the water level. You don't have to look at the scale. The divisions are applied directly to the case. It is much more convenient and practical.
Great Buy
Today, many people want to buy a Philips kettle. The price of the 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 features.
An important condition is also considered a trading facility in which the buyer is going to purchase this product. Many stores arrange special promotions by setting discounts on different models. Such a marketing ploy often attracts buyers and decides for them the issue of choice. The simplest plastic specimens with a bowl volume of one and a half liters cost, as a rule, from 1800 to 2000 rubles. This is a pretty reasonable price. More complex models with backlight, a beep emitted when boiling, and 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 subsequently be in his kitchen.
Subjective opinions
Many people have already chosen Philips teapots for daily use. Owner reviews allow you to judge the quality and competitiveness of these products.
Almost all of them consider the heating speed to be the main distinguishing feature of the products of this company. Water boils very quickly, which saves time. The next distinguishing feature is the shape. Almost all models have a wide neck through which it is easy to draw water and sanitize. Silent operation can be added to the number of positive qualities. Sometimes it is not even clear whether the device is working. The end of the process is indicatedjust churning water and the click of a lever.
Thanks to the company's designers, all models look very aesthetically pleasing and presentable. It helps to cheer up and relieve excessive emotional stress. True, some users claim that they would like to make their own changes to the design. Basically it 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 shortcomings. After all, there are many extension cords that can easily solve this problem.
