Opening the lid with a button

Kettles (see "Type") in which the lid opens at the touch of a button. This opening is faster and more convenient, and often safer than the traditional way (grab the lid and pull it up): the lid can get quite hot when the kettle is in operation, and long contact with it is fraught with burns. And although the button can also be placed on the lid, a short press is enough to activate it, and even in such cases the risk of getting burned is minimal. On the other hand, opening the lid with a button complicates the design of the kettle and reduces its reliability.

Double-walled

Double-walled are found mainly among traditional electric kettles.

This design performs several functions at once. First of all, it significantly improves thermal insulation, allowing the kettle to retain heat longer and save energy when heating. Also, double-walled increase strength and reliability — it is more difficult to break through such a wall or noticeably damage it than a single one. And in some models, the outer side is made of plastic, and the inner side is made — of metal; this allows you to combine the advantages of both materials without a significant increase in cost.
