There are preset modes that heat the water to optimal temperatures for various purposes - coffee (90 °C), tea (80 °C), rice flour (70 °C), baby milk (50 °C) and probiotics (40 °C).

Characteristics: 1.7 liters, 2200 W, 1.1 kg.
VITEK's VT-7033 ranks third in the 2021 electric kettle ranking. The volume of 1.7 liters is a practical solution, which is more than enough for an average family.

Like this device, for example, it is made of stainless steel. The main part stands on a special stand, which the manufacturer made rotating.

- Volume
- light weight

- Noisy during operation
