Rating of the best thermopots
Thermopot - a successful hybrid of a teapot and a thermos that is now a thing of the past. The devices are extremely convenient for both home and offices. They can both heat the liquid and keep it in the desired state for a long time, without wasting unnecessary electricity.
In addition, thermopots are now being produced, which are controlled remotely by means of a smartphone. Such constructions have a number of interesting and useful additional functions.
Top manufacturers
Unlike electric kettles, the water in thermal pots is kept hot for a specified time. The most advanced devices have several temperature modes (60o, 70o, 90o), and in "smart" thermopots, the required values are set with a special switch.
The variety of modern thermopots in the world is due to many factors, but the main one is the popularity of the idea of combining a teapot and a thermos in one design. The idea turned out to be productive and gave rise to many modifications, including in the types of hulls and differences in other structural elements and parameters. According to the body elements, brands are distinguished:
- ceramic;
- metal;
- plastic;
- mixed;
- glass.
The average volume of thermopots is 2.5-8 liters, and the power is 0.6-1 kW. By the type of heating elements, thermopots are classified into designs with disk heaters and with open heating elements. Running types of thermo pots are usually equipped with two elements - for heating water and for maintaining its temperature. Combined heaters are also produced.All heating elements are protected by special anti-corrosion coatings (chrome, silver, gold-plated and nickel-plated), which greatly enhances the product's reliability.
Undoubtedly, when making a purchase, we trust trusted brands, among them we will note the main ones.
- Budgetary: Delta, Polaris, Supra.
- Middle class: Redmond, Caso, Panasonic.
- In the highest: Samsung, Bosch, etc.

How Do I Pick a Good Thermopot?
Before purchasing a thermopot, its performance should be assessed. The body part can be plastic, metal or glass. Plastic is inexpensive, but dulls over time and can become brittle. Glass is sensitive to mechanical stress, it must be constantly looked after. The metal devices are durable and look good.
Water supply methods are relevant. If the device has an electric pump, then it will work only if power is available, while products with mechanical pumps are convenient to take with you on the road.
The main selection criteria.
- The power level (along with the volume) affects the heating rate. For the home, we recommend choosing products with a power of 900-1000 watts.
- Capacity. The volume of household models ranges from 2.2-5 liters. The choice is made individually, since it all depends on the daily fluid consumption, as well as the size of the family. The average volume for a family of 3 is 3 liters.
- Heating elements are disc and spiral, open and closed. Closed options are better, since there is no need to fight scale. The most popular are thermopots with disc heating elements.
- Thermoregulators. Many models are equipped with multi-stage temperature controls, when the water is heated or cooled, depending on the user's wishes. The range of parameters is +40 + 98 ° С.
- Timers help save energy. Thanks to this detail, the thermo-pots are turned off for several hours.
- Noise level. Thermopots are available that work very quietly. Most products are characterized by a fairly low noise level (up to 45 dB), but there are also more noisy devices - up to 64 dB.
The list of additional functions should also be evaluated:
- the presence of sound signals and a timer;
- equipping with a display with reflection of operating modes;
- the presence of a self-cleaning system;
- equipping with a removable strainer;
- equipped with screen backlight and delayed start function;
- water filling options;
- the ability to rotate the device on a stand;
- number of heating modes;
- blocking the addition of liquid during boiling;
- disabling auto-boiling;
- blocking from idle start;
- protection against unintentional start.
