Review on ☕️ KRUPS BW801852 Smart Temp Digital Kettle with Full Stainless Steel Interior, Safety Shutoff, 1.7-Liter Capacity, in Black by Get Maldonado

Several reputable consumer tests have ranked Cuisinart's CPK-17 Temperature Controlled Kettle at the top. This caught my attention. But also the high price. That's about $15 more than the new Krups design. Both have the same 1.7 liter (57 oz) capacity and very similar specs. I first bought Cuisinart and quickly found what I was looking for. However, it is quite heavy and some users have reported reliability and warranty issues. Several other companies have emulated Cuisinart's success at lower prices, including Hamilton Beach and Miroco. I'll include links to my reviews of these capable dummies below. This Krups is a whole new approach to temperature controlled kettle design. Does it compete? In my opinion, high-quality devices should be inexpensive, but still reliable and durable. Cuisinart CPK-17 vs Krups BW802852 / Design and Comfort: As you can see from the photos, the designs are completely different. Cuisinart weighs significantly more than Krups, which is noticeable when filling or pouring. For people with restricted arm mobility, e.g. B. Elderly people, Krups are the first choice. Both models have lids that are wide enough to fill, and the Krups is even wider, making it more convenient for those who don't know how to pour water, but both models have plenty of room to fill. All in all, the handle ergonomics and Krups design are a significant benefit if you don't plan on storing under the counter. Please measure the space before ordering as Krups is large. Cuisinart CPK-17 vs. Krups BW802852/ Quality workmanship, safety and ease of use: excellent workmanship for every brand. However, the Cuisinart has a large blue window that shows the filling level. Krups only shows the 1.7 liter line inside the kettle. If you are planning to fill a smaller pot, when using Krups you must first fill the measuring cup with water before pouring it into the pot. The big difference is that Krups is isolated. It's cold outside, even if it's sizzling inside. If small children have access to the cooking pot, please buy Krups.Cuisinart CPK-17 vs. Krups BW802852/. Temperature and function selection. The two kettles have almost the same temperature selection functions, but are implemented completely differently. With Cuisinart, you press the buttons on the top of the unit to choose from five presets. For example, 175 degrees is ideal for green tea. With Krups, you press a button at the top of the handle to cycle through the same temperature settings. The temperature selection is displayed in easy to read light blue color on the front of the kettle. Krups also has a very handy countdown thermostat feature, which I haven't seen in any of the other six kettles I've reviewed before. This is a cool feature for showing real-time temperature, although it's not required. Also important is the ability to maintain the temperature for up to 30 minutes. Every brand has this feature, but Cuisinart's approach is smarter. So what is the difference between these two brands? Cuisinart has keep warm on by default - it can also be easily turned off - before or after brewing. On Krups it is off by default and the keep warm button needs to be pressed manually. Due to a busy morning at our house, I prefer the Cuisinart auto-on theme by default. For example, I usually wake up first, drink a cup of green tea brewed at the correct temperature of 175 degrees, and then wait for my wife to come to me. Everything is ready to go without having to press an additional button. Later we will pour water for our daughter's oatmeal. Everything can be poured at the same temperature that the kettle keeps. However, if you don't usually need a second cup, you may prefer the Krups method. Just turn on the keep warm function. especially if you turn it on before cooking. Since we're pouring multiple cups, another benefit of the bigCuisinart that we really like is the memory feature. If you remove the kettle from the base and then place it back on the base for a few minutes, Cuisinart will maintain the temperature and keep warm mode. Once the cereal is removed for filling, returning to the base will turn off the kettle entirely. This may be a disadvantage for some. However, going back to the settings to keep the kettle on for 30 minutes longer requires pressing several buttons. You just have to get used to remembering. Cuisinart CPK-17 vs. Krups BW802852 / All the key performance tests: Since both are 1500W, each has an amazingly high speed, far superior to stovetop kettles or microwave heating. For a full 1.7 liter pot, Cuisinart shut down at 212 degrees boiling point in 7:06. Krups only took 7:06 - a new kettle speed record in my ridiculously exhaustive kettle tests. In everyday life it does not matter, but Krups is a little faster. For the 24 ounces, the Krups finished in just 3:21 against Cuisinart's 3:31. For 16 ounces, Krups was willing to fill in just 2:22 versus 2:32 for Cuisinart. Fast enough for any brand! With a green tea temperature of 175 degrees for 24 ounces, Krups only needed 2:16, while Cuisinart finished in 2:22. The 16oz Cuisinart was the winner at a stunning 1:40. Krups kept up with him in 1:51. per 16 oz. Both pots are very well insulated, although Krups is fully insulated. Even an hour or two after turning it off, the water inside is still pretty hot. Each can be brought to a boil in just a minute or two, depending on how much water is in it. ready to pour. However, it's likely that by purchasing an all-purpose variable temperature kettle like this, you'll also be able to maintain consistency at different temperatures and use the keep warm mode. Chinese green tea, for example, is best brewed at 170 to 180 degrees, while delicate Japanese senchas are best brewed 10 degrees lower. Using the 175 degree setting of each green tea kettle, as soon as the brewer beeped and stopped, I used the instant read Thermapen thermometer and was told the Cuisinart had read 176 degrees. Really great performance! Krups had 173, which is also commendable. Both pots are among the most stable I've tested for temperature retention, much better than the failed Hamilton Beach Cuisinart clone I reviewed previously. Miroco also convinces with consistency. What about the temperature consistency when using the keep warm function? Once the desired temperature is reached, each kettle will remain idle until the internal temperature of the water has dropped by 6-8 degrees. Then the sensor is triggered, which turns on the kettle for a short time and returns the temperature to normal. Both brands perform well in keep warm mode. Cuisinart CPK-17 vs. Krups BW802852/ Long-Lasting Warranty: While Cuisinart has a commendable three-year warranty, some reviewers here complain that it can be a hassle to get warranty service and that units sometimes fail before the warranty expires. Buyer should pay for guarantee shipping both ways. I paid an additional $4 for the Assurant Extended Warranty. However, most warranties of this type only come into effect after the manufacturer's warranty has expired. We have four Cuisinart small kitchen appliances and thankfully have never required warranty service. My original Cuisinart stand mixer is still working great after 30 years. As for the CPK-17 kettle, several reviews say that the number markings can wear out over time. With a completely different design, that's not a problem - the markings are under the acetate coating on the front of the kettle. The Krups guarantee is an impressive 24 months. Cuisinart CPK-17 vs. Krups BW802852/. Conclusion: Both cars are five stars. Until we reviewed this brand new Krups design, we kept Cuisinart in our main house and Miroco in our country house. When hand mobility becomes an issue, Krups is our assistant in choosing a kettle. Differences in daily use between Cuisinart and Krups mainly differ in three things: 1) The keep warm function is the automatic default setting for Cuisinart. but can be easily switched on with Krups. 2) The Cuisinart has a handy two minute memory feature that remembers the keep warm temperature when the kettle is removed and then placed back on the base. 3) If these qualities are considered key for someone, then Cuisinart should be considered their first choice.

It's also a good kettle that most will enjoy, but not in the same league as Cuisinart or Miroco in my opinion. detailed test of Cuisinart kettle compared to Miroco and Hamilton Beech: https://www.amazon.com/review/R100D8UJNUET21/ref=cm_cr_srp_d_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B0758BZKQN (I was delighted to read a reader's comments , who called my previous kettle comparison "Best product review I've ever read on Revain". Please forgive my little boast! If you spend as much time as I do writing reviews, it's nice to know that that they are appreciated.) HAPPY BREWING !
