Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Mineral buildup and bacterial growth in heating chamber, Plastic lid or handle materials and Heating element failure or corrosion on the and not on the Secura.
  • We flag Stainless steel leaching (chromium/nickel), Mineral scale and bacterial colonization and Electrical hazard from degraded seals on the Secura and not on the .
  • The is Stainless steel body and interior, heating element where the Secura is Stainless steel interior and exterior, no coating, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
  • We are less certain about the grade, at 45% confidence against 88%, because it discloses less.
