An electric kettle (also known as an electric kettle, electric kettle) is a household appliance whose main function is to heat water to a boiling state. This device is usually used in kitchens or other places that require hot water. Among many household appliances, electric kettles play an important role. However, the wrong choice can lead to serious pitfalls. Low-quality electric kettles are often made of non-compliant production materials, which may contain ingredients that are harmful to human health. Long-term use of such products can not only harm the health of consumers, but sometimes even lead to difficult diseases such as cancer. What are the hazards of electric kettles? As a senior expert in the evaluation of household appliances, today I will summarize the relevant knowledge of using electric kettles.
Here are some of the products I've reviewed recently:
1. What are the hazards of electric kettles?
What are the hazards of electric kettles? Many people find that the electric kettle is not suitable for use after buying it, such as the inferior product selection and the peculiar smell of the boiled water, which are very common phenomena, because there are many electric kettle brands on the market, and there are many harms when you choose an unprofessional inferior electric kettle. Regarding the dangers of boiling water in an electric kettle, I have summarized the following 4 points:
1: Pungent odor, emitting toxic and harmful substances.
Due to substandard manufacturing processes or the use of low-quality materials, low-quality electric kettles can release pungent odors during the heating process, which are often produced by toxic and harmful substances. These harmful substances may have a negative impact on human health.
2: Repeated heating produces thousands of boiling water, containing nitrite.
Nitrite is a common food additive, but excessive intake can cause harm to human health. Inferior electric kettles are easy to produce thousands of boiling water after repeated heating after long-term use. The nitrite levels in this boiling water tend to exceed safe standards, and long-term consumption may increase the risk of cancer.
3: Inferior electric kettles may have potential safety hazards.
Inferior electric kettles are often a safety hazard due to the manufacturer's pursuit of profit maximization and neglect of product safety. For example, problems such as short circuits and leakage may occur during the heating process, resulting in fire or electric shock accidents. In addition, inferior products may also have design flaws, such as not being able to automatically power off during the heating process, causing the water to continue heating after it has been boiled dry, which in turn can cause a fire.
4: Inferior electric kettles are prone to residual heavy metals.
The internal heating elements of low-quality electric kettles are often made of low-quality metal materials that may contain heavy metals such as lead, mercury, etc. When water comes into contact with these metals during the heating process, there is a risk that heavy metals can be dissolved and contaminate the water quality.
2. Summary of the 5 slots of inferior electric kettles
What are the hazards of electric kettles? There are many people complaining about electric kettles, precisely because the demand for electric kettles has increased in recent years, the industry is hot, and many three-no products have entered the market to get a piece of the pie. However, these brands are not professional, and they often attract consumers by means of crazy marketing, **, etc., while ignoring the product quality itself, so what are the common slots on the market about electric kettles? The following picture is a summary table of negative reviews about electric kettle boiling water summarized by the health forum, and I have also summarized the slots of several top-ranked electric kettles:
1.Thousands of boiling water:In the process of heating water, there is often a problem of boiling water in the inferior electric kettle. This means that when the water starts to boil, the heating device inside the kettle does not automatically turn off, causing the water to become too hot, and even after boiling, it continues to heat up, which not only wastes energy, but also poses a threat to the safety of the user.
2.Poor quality, inferior products:Inferior electric kettles tend to use cheap materials and processes, resulting in poor overall quality of the product. For example, the wall thickness of a kettle is thin and it is easy to deform or crack; The heating plate is prone to rust or fall off; The switch button is easy to be damaged, etc. This not only affects the service life, but can also lead to safety issues.
3.There is a pungent odor:Low-quality electric kettles may be manufactured using low-quality plastic or rubber materials, which often emit pungent odors. When water is heated, these odors are heated and absorbed by the water, posing a health hazard to drinking water.
4.Poor temperature control:The temperature control system of an inferior electric kettle is often not precise enough to accurately control the temperature of the water. There may be a situation where the kettle cannot be automatically powered off in time after boiling, resulting in the temperature of the water being too high; Or the heating is insufficient, and the kettle is not able to heat the water to the ideal temperature. Such problems can adversely affect the user's experience and the quality of drinking water.
5.Noise on the high side:Inferior electric kettles may produce noise when working, which is mainly caused by poor contact between the heating plate and the bottom of the kettle, poor material of the heating plate, etc. This kind of noise can cause discomfort to the user, especially when used in a quiet environment, which affects the user's experience.
