About Steamless Electric Kettles “7SAFE+” PTQ-A100

From left to right: onyx black, ruby red, slate gray

The kettle boils a cup of water in about 45 seconds, boasting the industry’s fastest(*1) speed. The dial on its handle allows you to select a temperature setting among six levels, so that the water can be heated to an optimum temperature for the drink to prepare.

The kettle is designed to have a path of hot water that runs obliquely on the interior wall of its container through the lid to the spout. This allows you to pour the water easily by slightly tilting the kettle without flipping your wrist. The ribs and slits provided on the spout help pour a thin, smooth stream of water. This structure allows you to make drip coffee smoothly. As a result of paying special attention to the detailed designs, the top face of the lustrous stainless-steel lid was designed based on an image of a beautiful water surface.

The electric kettle also features seven safe and secure structures such as a double-wall structure and steamless(*2) structure. The product also won the 16th Kids Design Award in the design category for contributing to the safety and security of children in 2022 for its advancement in safety and Tiger’s attitude of making continuous efforts for development.
