Panasonic NC-HU301

Advantages: Workmanship, coated steel bulb and stainless steel inner lid

Disadvantages: Rustic design (but nothing is better), hellish instruction

Comment: They were looking for a replacement for a potent stainless steel kettle that had worked for 6 years. Bought this thermopot. What can I say - how we used to live without it? Extremely convenient thing. Put T at 98 degrees. 3 liters for four family members is enough for the whole day. It starts to boil quietly (much quieter compared to a regular kettle). For those who did not understand: the function of the Tea keeps the water slightly boiling, as in a samovar (we do not use it, because 98 grams brews not worse); Energy Saving mode allows the thermopot to decide when to fall asleep (OFF appears on the display), depending on your usage schedule (it analyzes itself within the last 7 days).
My verdict: very satisfied, it is a pity that they did not know about this topic before. Bought in April 2014 for 5 thousand, I consider the price adequate.

Advantages: 1) The convenience of all thermos - boiling water right now.
2) It does not stink of plastic, unlike teapots, even at the first boiling, as inside a metal flask.
3) The unique SaveEnergy function, i.e. the kettle remembers what time on which days of the week you pour water and starts to heat it only by this time, thereby saving electricity.
4) It does not make sense to list the rest of the advantages, everything is just done so that you can use the device easily and naturally.

Disadvantages: absent

Comment: And do not write here that right after boiling water flows badly. The manual says that the water is ready for use after the beep sounds after boiling. After the signal, everything is fine flows. I use the device of the year 3 or even more, in operation it is ideal. After cleaning with limnonic acid (just pour the usual powder from the grocery store and press the cleaning button) it looks like new.

Advantages: compactness, the design is not flashy, 3 liters is also not bad, the inner coating is diamond-fluorine, the quality of plastic is very good, the filling pump works when the power is turned off

Disadvantages: very loud signal at the end of boiling

Comment: Thermal device is indispensable for home and work, the presence of hot boiled water does not require frequent use of the kettle, I recommend to everyone!

Advantages: Silent work. Built-in battery. Economical.

Disadvantages: Not clear instructions, but you can still figure it out.

Comment: Wonderful helper in the kitchen. There is always hot water. Able to adapt to your schedule, we can say that predicts your desires, if you yourself, of course, predictable. Based on the schedule of last week, he builds a schedule of inclusions on the current one. For example: you get up at 7 in the morning and turn on the thermo sweat on the heating, and so on every day.
Next week, thermal trash will do it for you.Well, just pleases such care! )))
Keeps the temperature very well, slowly cools. Because of this, heating is turned on less often, thereby saving electricity and your money.
Decent machine for your money.

Advantages: After pouring water into the thermotube, boiling is immediately turned on, which, if desired, can be turned off, just press the "Timer" button.
The full volume of water 3 liters, boils for 20-25 minutes. Then the function of maintaining the temperature, which is displayed on the display 80.90 or 98 degrees, is activated.
The sound when boiling is really quiet, you can't even compare it with a boiling kettle.
After boiling, the body of the thermopot becomes slightly warm, the only hot place is the opening for the steam and then the first few minutes.
Many people write about the problem with the bulk, immediately after boiling, and so, this is treated by relieving excess pressure, it is enough to slightly open the lid of the thermal cotton for 1-2 seconds.
There are 4 loading speeds. If you slightly press the button, the water will flow at the first speed. With a strong pressure on the second speed, after 5 seconds. the third speed is activated, and after 12 seconds. the fourth.
Thermopot is equipped with protection against spillage, after completion of pouring water into the cup, not a drop will fall from the spout. I think this is a big plus.
The lid opens and conveniently locks in the open position at an angle of about 110 degrees, then do not fold back, it is worth stopping, but you can easily remove it, just press the button with the arrow behind the thermo sweat.
The connector for the power cable is, in my opinion, in a convenient place, not strictly behind, but slightly to the side, thanks to this, the thermal thread can be moved close to the wall.
Due to the built-in battery settings are not reset even after disconnecting from the network.
There are a number of functions:
"TEA" continuous boiling function.
"Timer" Delay boiling at 4,6,8 or 10 hours
“Energy saving” This function is good if you adhere to the daily routine, the thermoscale remembers when the water supply takes place and turns on shortly before filling in the following days. Moreover, the schedule is constantly adjusted.
There is also a self-cleaning function.

Disadvantages: Display without backlight.
Personally, I do not have enough temperature of 85 degrees.
Dividing the water indicator is applied on a dense film, which can be pushed, pierced or torn.

Comment: Excellent device, I recommend it to everyone, I regret only one thing, that I have not bought it before.
Moreover, no taste and odors in the water were found by me and my family members.

Advantages: Timer. Built-in battery. Quality performance. Saving electricity.

Disadvantages: There is no direct way to turn off the boiling function, so that boiled water is not brought up to 100 degrees, for example, heated to 95 degrees. Although there is a workaround to press the "Tea" button twice when working in boiling mode, the boiling function will be turned off afterwards - this means that it is possible not to consider it as a drawback.

Comment: Recently purchased this unit. I always look for flaws and good sides of a product, but here I didn’t even have a desire to criticize. I've been using it for a week now. There is no smell of water from the first day of use with a thermo sweat. Water is always hot. It is pleasant to use this device, it is made with high quality, interesting design. Price - took for 4200rub., Worth the money.

Advantages: Capacity, economy, silence
Built-in battery (it will pour water even when there is no electricity)

Disadvantages: I did not find it, everything is outdated

Comment: The first impression is what it is big, but is it necessary to 3 liters? But then, in practice, you are convinced that what else is needed, even for a small family.
It is interesting to protect against accidental pressing of small children, first you need to press the unlock button "Block Cancel" and only then "Pour".
(By the way, you quickly get used to it) When you click on the "Pour" button, water flows at a speed of 2 divisions; if water is poured for more than 5 seconds, the 3 and 4 speed automatically turns on.
Filled closed, left and after 25 minutes he brewed, that everything is ready. I always have a temperature of 98 (tea and coffee), others I have never used even once.
The lack of water at the bottom is not terrible, as there is protection against overheating. There is an ECO mode - 4/6/8/10 hour timer, and although this function is necessary for energy saving,
and at night you can really put on 4.6 hours of inactivity, but I still do not use it because it consumes little by itself. At the first water heating, it consumes 910W for about 25 minutes, but then it just maintains the set temperature, that is, every 3 hours the water cools a little, the kettle turns on and heats it for 5 minutes using only 23W (!), And then turns off again. Roughly speaking, it consumes less energy all day than the weakest light bulb.
Before him, I had a simple 1.5 liter kettle on 1.8 kW, so he ate energy for the terrible, since I am a big fan of tea drinking at a computer. But his time came, he grew old and died, I buried him, and started a thrifty thermal sweat instead.
Whoever has bad water and will scum, it is better not to wash it with an iron washcloth, so as not to tear off the special BINCO inner lining, it is better to boil vinegar and water in a ratio of 1: 1, or another method, to wash with citric acid powder (as was said before me).

Advantages: Everything works, no odors. Quickly, quietly, efficiently.

Disadvantages: It is a pity that Russia does not sell the same 4-liter model - NC-HU401. Well, the translation of instructions is something indescribable :)

Comment: The official website has a manual in English, which, unlike the translated one, can be read while remaining in your right mind: http://service.us.pan.com.com/OPERMANPDF/NCHU301-MUL.PDF

From it it becomes a little clearer about Energy saving.
Firstly, there it is clearly stated that the cycle period of this function is one week, and not one day, how many where in the network they write. Secondly, each subsequent week for heating uses the schedule of the spill last week. This is so simple and simple.

What kind of "Tea" / "Healthy tea" - and remains a mystery. No, I read all this warm tube dregs about “Boiled water is alkalified”. But I did not understand how the result of pressing this button differs from long-term boiling (which is caused by double pressing the boiling button). The observed result in both cases is the same: water is brought to a boil, it is unnaturally boiled for a long time and enter into the normal mode of maintaining a given temperature. The only difference is that in one case after this procedure and to the nearest topping up of water (or calling some function) the word "Tea" is lit on the screen, and in the other case it does not.

Advantages: Describing how to use the kettle:
The mode button allows you to choose from the following modes:
1) always keep the set temperature
2) start keeping the set temperature with a delay of 2, 4 or 6 hours
3) energy saving. in this mode, the kettle remembers the approximate intervals of your water consumption and keeps the set temperature only at these intervals. for example, if you do not drink water at night, it will cool to a minimum of 60 degrees, and when morning comes, it will be heated and kept at a predetermined level.

The TEA button allows you to boil water and keep it boiling, for those who need constantly cool boiling water. the water at the same time quickly boils away.

I always use energy saving. this is a bad thing saves electricity. if suddenly at the moment when I need boiling water, the kettle is sleeping (the OFF indicator next to the energy saving sign), then I simply turn on the boiling again, at least from 60 degrees to 90 heats up for a short time. but the teapot does not keep the 90 degrees I have set all day and night.

when the power is turned off, the settings are reset, so you have to fill up the saucepan.
Although the settings are strongly stated, press the temperature selection a couple of times and 3 times to select enegry saving.

when boiling water pump works very badly, it is necessary to open the lid and release the steam. in boiling water there are other physical properties.

there is a small addition - when you press the reboil button, you cannot turn it off. I use 90 degrees for tea, it makes no sense to heat up further, especially since boiling water is difficult to pour, the pump does not work practically. Normally, you cannot cancel the specified boiling, however, you can make such a maneuver: when re-boiling is on, press the TEA button, the kettle will go into tea mode (that is, boil and hold boiling water), and then press TEA again to cancel this mode, the water will stop heating.

Disadvantages: I personally really do not have enough connector for connecting the water supply directly to the kettle. It would be extremely convenient to be able to bring a tube of clean water straight to the device so as not to use a saucepan for pouring water.

Advantages: Fits perfectly into the kitchen interior, quickly boils (about 20 minutes), low power consumption, low noise (at night it is almost inaudible), intuitive control (no instructions needed), convenient buttons. Built-in battery!

Disadvantages: The price is 5,200. Real 3,500 I think so. Power cord, I did not understand its direction. In my kitchen, he does not interfere, but I think that somewhere he will be very uncomfortable.

Comment: Wife persuaded to buy, because born a new member of the family. Here for kids, thermopot is an indispensable thing. Believe it. Chose the most expensive model did not save 500-1000rub. and do not regret my choice. And Panasonic has always been the benchmark of quality for me.
