Opinions from the Kitfort KT-640

Advantages:
Cheap, not noisy, different heating modes.
Disadvantages:
There is no way to turn off the buzzer.
Comment:
At a price beyond competition, there are no such cheap teapots with a glass bulb and electronic control. But in electronics and its weak point, namely in the relay that commutes the heating element. In ordinary teapots there is a thermocouple and over time it burns out, but here the relay with contacts is clearly smaller. And also this hellish squeak when installed on a stand and after boiling. Could have come up with a shutdown by holding one of the buttons if they managed to shove the microcontroller into the kettle. I had to disassemble the handle and fill the buzzer with hot glue.

Advantages:
Heats water quickly. Not noisy (certainly quieter than cheap and / or old models that can sometimes drown out the voice in a small kitchen). Nice, not pretentious appearance and nice little lighting. Thermopot functionality (temperature support) and heating to the selected temperature. A glass flask and a closed heating element, made of plastic, only the lid and rim of the strainer are in contact with water (the very presence of a strainer on the spout is also pleasing). The lid does not open like most of my old teapots (with a button on the handle), but with a special lever on the lid itself. It is impossible to open it by accident. Keeps the temperature of already heated water well. There was almost no smell when unpacking, and the water did not smell at all and did not have any unpleasant aftertaste (the smell disappears quickly enough). Probably the cheapest kettle that can not only heat water and turn off, but something else besides this (accordingly, the price-quality is at the proper level).
Disadvantages:
Not so many minuses, how many facts that cannot be called positive. Not the widest choice of colors specifically for this model (I wanted red, but there is simply no red). The squeak is not the loudest (quieter than the microwave). Many complained about the loud squeak and the inability to turn it off and I was hoping that it would be downright LOUD. Although it is enough to hear the kettle (but it beeps only once (1)). The backlight is strictly tied to the selected heating mode.
Comment:
All in all a very good kettle. Looks and works in accordance with every ruble of its price. Its function neighbor is significantly more expensive. If someone suddenly asks me for advice on choosing a kettle, I will definitely suggest this model. And they also gave me a nice little magnet with a whale with a kettle: You can see it in the photo.

Advantages:
Design Volume Multi-colored Backlight Sound notification Possibility of heating water to the required temperature (from 40 to 100 degrees) Heating speed
Disadvantages:
No flaws were found. The only thing seems to be that the water cools down quickly, but this is more likely not a drawback, but a feature of the glass bulb
Comment:
The need to buy a new kettle arose suddenly, so the RIGHT choice had to be made quickly. I read the reviews, looked at the characteristics and chose this kettle to replace the old TEFAL. I was very pleased that the kitfort manufacturer leaves a gift in the box that made me smile :) further about the kettle itself: not only is it beautiful in itself, it also glows in different colors depending on the selected heating temperature. Heats up quickly enough. I am glad that it is not as noisy as the old kettle was. Beeps when placing the kettle on the platform, pressing buttons and after heating the water. The smell, which the instruction warns about, disappeared after the first test boil - this is an absolute plus. In general, to say that I am happy with the purchase is to say nothing. The price-quality ratio is excellent) although it would probably be more accurate to say that for this money - an excellent quality product. Recommend!!!

Advantages:
Value for money Appearance and colors Temperature settings 40.70, 80.90 Sound signal Glass body Convenient spout Not bulky stand
Disadvantages:
No
Comment:
Great kettle. We took a blackberry color, it fit very well into the interior. During the first and subsequent boils, there is no smell, the usual tea acquired a different taste (before this year they used a metal teapot). Temperature conditions are very pleasing. For baby food 40 is just right, for teas 70, 80.90 is also great. For this price, this kettle has no competitors. It is also quiet, only a sound signal is heard from the room, which is triggered at the end of the boil. The sound does not bother us at all, on the contrary, it notifies us that it is time to drink tea. We are very pleased with our beautiful, excellent teapot!

Advantages:
Excellent design, glass body, multi-colored illumination, fast heating rate, choice of temperature, good spout, capacity. High quality plastic, odorless.
Disadvantages:
There is no indicator of the temperature maintenance mode at 40, 70-90 degrees.
Comment:
Great kettle. This is the first time I have met such quality for such money. For water purification, we use reverse osmosis without additional mineralizers at the outlet, so salts are not deposited on our dishes. Because of this, the kettle always looks clean. I am glad that it is not necessary to constantly boil, heating the water only to a certain temperature for different types of tea. The nose is comfortable, does not splash water. Boiling water does not splash out, even if more than the maximum was poured. Plastic does not creak, does not give backlash and has no smell. Emerald and blackberry colors are the most successful, in our opinion. Many people write about a short cord, in our family this is not a problem, since the socket is at the table where the kettle lives. The cord is about 70 cm long - judge for yourself whether it is a lot or a little. I liked the kettle so much that they bought three more. Presented to friends and parents. In the shops of our city, the goods are popular, they are dismantled quickly.

Advantages:
Glass body - no odors. Boiled the first time, drained the water and you're done. LED backlighting in different colors - beautiful and convenient. Round stand. Ease of management. Sound signaling of the end of work. Nice appearance. Water heating accuracy. Build quality. The price tag is very reasonable.
Disadvantages:
When you put the kettle on the stand, it beeps once, it seems not a minus, but, as it were, superfluous. Otherwise, no shortcomings were found.
Comment:
We decided to buy a kettle with an adjustable heating temperature in the house. There is no way to spend too much money on this, so we looked towards relatively cheaper models. The choice fell on the teapot of the young KitFort company. And I'll tell you - not in vain. 1. The base of the case is glass. It was this fact that was considered. No smell, easy to clean, the water level is clearly visible, plus beautiful backlighting in five different colors. 40g. - green, 70g. - blue, 80g. - yellow, 90g. - purple, 100g. - red. 2. A round stand is also not an unimportant factor, because constantly putting the kettle in a certain position is boring. 3. Convenience of control - two buttons, 4 LED indicators. 4. Sound indication of the end of work - no need to constantly monitor whether he has finished boiling there or not yet. 5. Outwardly, everything is fine, no burrs, burrs or other obscene species were found, the accuracy of the assembly pleases. 6. Accuracy of heating - I did not expect that the temperature is maintained so precisely. I specially took a laboratory mercury thermometer and measured all possible boundary values, it turned out like this: 40gr. - 42gr. according to the thermometer 70g. - 70.5g. 80gr. - 80g. 90gr. - 90.7gr. 100gr. - 102 gr. according to the thermometer, respectively. 7. When the lid is closed, the anti-limescale grid is pressed against the glass, and when the lid is opened, the grid moves back a little. 8. Well, the price is good. While the analogues of eminent companies start at 3 thousand, although the quality is the same.

Advantages:
Nice design, glass body. The ability to select a temperature regime (40/70/80/90/100 ° C) is a really very useful feature. The function of maintaining the selected temperature (up to 2 hours). Not too noisy and no plastic smell. There is a color indication of temperature modes - nice and convenient. Well, and the price, of course, considering all of the above))
Disadvantages:
When the temperature control mode is turned on, the indicator light should flash (as it is written in the instructions). It does just that, but only while maintaining 100 °, and if you select any other temperature, it stops blinking, heats up to the required degrees and goes out, as if it turned off. Only by experience did I make sure that it still maintains the temperature. The disadvantage is not significant, because in fact everything works, but confused me a little. Perhaps I came across a copy with a slightly crooked firmware.
Comment:
Choosing a cheap electric kettle, I was very pleasantly surprised when I came across this model, the attractive design and useful additional functions simply did not leave any chances to competitors)) Although I’m lying ... I thought a little about looking at other models of the same company ..)))

Advantages:
I liked the heating modes. Very handy for different types of tea. Just do not forget to first bring the water to a boil. Heats up quickly, there is almost no noise. Completely transparent glass body, you can watch the water bubbles beautifully) There are water lights for different modes: red for boiling, green for heating 40 degrees, blue for 70, light green for 80 and purple for 90.It looks especially beautiful in the dark) There is a sound of the indicator, which informs about the end of the mode that you have installed.
Disadvantages:
No shortcomings have been identified yet. Many people complain about the loud sound of the indicator, but it does not annoy me. As for me, it is not that loud)
Comment:
I advise you to buy, you will not regret it!

Advantages:
Design, lighting, strainer
Disadvantages:
Flimsy teapot stand, materials look cheap
Comment:
Although materials = simple plastic, it is easy enough to clean, beautiful illumination, the lid opens completely, several degrees of heating and lighting for each degree is different
February 25, 2020, Moscow
Advantages:
Nice little teapot, different colors of lighting for different temperatures, completely transparent body. I was looking for a kettle with a choice of temperatures and preferably heated, purple - I found)
Disadvantages:
First, it was very sad to learn that the temperature was maintained only for a hundred degrees. What for? It is unclear, but in general it is cool that it is there, it may come in handy. Secondly .. After the second use, a rusty coating appeared on the bottom, and a lot (I can't take a photo, but I would like to). Yes, I can’t justify the quality of my water, the pipes are changed all the time, but it’s not so bad as to behave like that in a teapot (Moskovsky district). Thirdly, you can probably get burned, because the whole body is made of glass, but I did not have such a problem. Although the owners of children should be more vigilant. And do not drink tea at parties)))
Comment:
Summing up the above, I put the 4/5 teapot according to the academic system. I don't know how the design could be improved using this color, but I would like the plastic to look less toy-like. But then the cost would probably have been higher. In general, I would take it again if there was an opportunity to refuse (and it is).
