Philips HD 4646

Advantages: Serves reliably since 2009. Bought because of the brand, appearance and stock price. Convenient. Scale practically does not form (we use bottled water). High quality plastic. There was no smell initially and throughout the entire period of use. The shutdown button works reliably. Boils quickly. Made in Poland.

Disadvantages: For us, this model has no shortcomings. If only you need a larger kettle, then you can consider other models.

Comment: The kettle is used in a family of 2 people, it is boiled every day 3-4 times, during the period when hot water is turned off, it was boiled for 6-7 times in a row for washing. The incentive to write a review, oddly enough, was the fact that the kettle began to leak a little in the area where the kettle body adjoins its base. We decided that everything, the kettle faithfully worked for almost 7 years and it was time to change it. But I decided to disassemble and see why it flows. Dismantled, not a speck of dust inside. The wife washed and cleaned all the white parts (which was not difficult, the kettle was monitored and washed regularly), there was very little plaque on the sealing gum in a circle. I decided that the reason was in it, but the service centers had already left for the weekend, there was no way to buy a replacement gum until Monday. As a result, we washed the gum and the kettle well and put everything back together. The quality of the parts is excellent. Turned on, checked - not the slightest hint of a leak! The purchase of a new kettle has been postponed indefinitely)).

Advantages: Just a good kettle, which is ideal and without any "side effects" such as leakage, plastic smell, lids breaking off, etc. has been doing its job for years.

Disadvantages: There is no indicator light for operation, although it is clear from the presence of small noise whether it works or not. Rustic design.

Comment: In the previous apartment, this kettle has been operating for the seventh, it seems, a year, and is still in perfect condition and works perfectly. I wanted something more modern and attractive outwardly in a new apartment, maybe with backlighting and different temperature regimes, but after reading the reviews and being horrified by the possible problems - I would never have thought that there are such problems at all - I took the proven Philips. The old one had bluish gray details, and the new one was completely white. Month - excellent flight.

Advantages: boils quickly. makes acceptable noise. stinks nothing.

Disadvantages: I haven't found it yet.

Comment: The power-on indication is an orange stripe on the corresponding side of the power button :) This is of course primitive, but it seems to work and won't break :) In my opinion, noise is a better indicator than a light bulb in a not always visible place. A strainer, I would prefer an iron one, but it seems that the kettle should be made of stainless steel. When pouring water from the spout flows exactly into the cup, and not on the sides or on the teapot on the table - this is a big plus, because for some reason not all teapots can boast of this. In general, the impressions so far are only positive.

Advantages: Cheap. Easy to use. Convenient water inlet. Reliable for a long time.

Disadvantages: Didn't notice.

Comment: It was bought as an ordinary inexpensive teapot of a well-known manufacturer. It is convenient to pour water through a spout. The lid is reliable! Even tipped over with water did not open. The wide neck is convenient for washing, although special means are preferable. They poured more than the prescribed water level. Nothing splashed or distorted. . Correctly disconnected. After several years, I stopped boiling water. I did not suffer repairs, it is easier to buy a similar new one.

Advantages: Price, no plastic odor, durability

Disadvantages: no

Comment: We have already bought 3 such teapots for ourselves and for gifts, from relatives the same. Work great for 2 or more years. But with one there was an interesting situation. I'll tell you, maybe it will come in handy for someone. Perhaps due to the fact that they left tap water in it for a long time, he smelled. You know, that "nice" smell of mold or something. All boiling citric acid, vinegar, soda and everything else in it did not help. It was impossible to drink water from it. Immediately after boiling it is still half the trouble, but if the water has stood in it at least until it cools down, everything is already stinking with this smell. Since he was still under warranty, he was taken to the official service. They accepted it, also boiled it with citric acid, apologized, said that this was an out-of-warranty case, they say, if it burned down, then they changed it to a new one without any problems, and so it was incorrect operation. There was a thought to burn him somehow unobtrusively. :) But I went the other way. I disassembled it (a special screwdriver is needed), determined by the olfactory way that the sealing gum was smelling specifically. Since there was already nothing to lose, I decided to boil it in an ordinary saucepan in water. Once boiled with citric acid and 3 times with soda for about 20-30 minutes each time. At the first boils in the apartment there was an eerie stench like from a kettle, but with each next it became less and less and completely disappeared as a result. I put the kettle back together. I was afraid that the gum from such a draconian treatment with it would be deformed, but no, it remained perfect. By the way, these rubber bands are not sold separately even in the service center. In total, the kettle has been working after that for a year and a half in the usual mode, no one additionally boils it with citric acid, nor dries it, nor ventilates it. Not even a hint of smell remains and does not reappear. Therefore, I definitely rate the kettle 5, although I had to tinker with it. I understand that if it starts to leak, it also helps to disassemble it and just clean the gum. For that kind of money, it seems to me, just the perfect kettle!

Advantages: simple, convenient, reliable

Disadvantages: an insignificant drawback, the fact that the mechanism for closing the lid does not look very reliable, but nothing happened to it in a year)

Comment: great model. so that the call does not stop working, you do not need to fill it with water, as they said in the store, and for a year of work it works properly.to serve for a long time, do not pour cold water when it is hot, wait until it cools down, then it will serve for many, many years

Advantages: Excellent materials Assembled and looks very sturdy

Disadvantages: a light bulb when turned on would not hurt.

Comment: I am satisfied. 1.5 liters is boiled after 4 minutes and 15 seconds. The noise appears only after the second minute. And then you can hear it only in the kitchen. Plastic does not smell. Everything is very convenient.

Advantages: Great simple teapot. Cool design and does its job well. It has been working great for over a year, a friend has worked for the same for about 3 years and everything is fine.

Disadvantages: A bit noisy and there is no turn-off indicator, instead the strip is glued on. But these are really little things, it's convenient to use.

Comment: For the price, just a great product.
