Step up to the triple-layer SF1868EK only if small children are likely to touch it, or if you want water staying hot longest between drinks. At 1800W it boils quickly, and 1.7 litres is the family size — enough for a full teapot plus mugs without heating water you will not use. #304 food-grade steel is worth confirming on any kettle, since cheaper alloys taint the taste. The trade-off against glass is that you cannot see the water level or scale, so check through the lid and descale on schedule — every month or two with weak vinegar, boiled and rinsed well. Never boil below the minimum mark, since that is what trips dry-boil protection or damages elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst the triple-layer SF1868EK, that runs cooler outside and holds heat longer at a higher price. Compared with the 1500W SF3364EK, this is 300W faster at the same double-layer construction. Against the glass kettles, those show the water level and scale but get hot outside and break more easily. Against a plastic kettle, no taste transfer and a considerably longer life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDouble-layer or triple-layer?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDouble-layer suits most households and costs less.
