The kettle was not for me, but for my mother. A small kettle with max 1 liter sought. She is a very old lady with little force. As your normal kettle so you can buy everywhere were too heavy, I came to some searching on the Clatronic WK 3462 Kettle. It seemed to me that he has only 1 liter content and not to be 1.7L Suited like most. Furthermore me gefiehl the cover mechanics which can not be served as in many with the thumb but with the index finger and the on / off switch was not such a sensor Knöpfchen but is an ordinary switch. So everything seemed to be ok. I ordered because the Clatronic WK 3462 Kettle and behold, everything super everything perfectly, and my mother is happy to more than 100% by Clatronic WK 3462 Kettle. So just to be recommended above all if one does not constantly so large amounts of hot water.
