DELIVERY (5/5)
Amazon has delivered before léchéance provided in an oversized cardboard (probably to facilitate the conveyance on conveyor belts) containing the box intact, of the unit.
ESTHETHIQUE (4/5)
The kettle is very well packed in a cardboard box with clear sides, colored and multilingual descriptive.
Its size is reduced, it sinscrit, on its base, in a cube of 21 cm side.
The body and base are made of plastic decorated with some metal buttons, the bulbous shape of the body is seen. Its black color "graphite" suits me well.
Manufacturing is neat, materials (even if it's plastic) and good quality adjustments.
OPERATION 4/5
The working length of the power supply cord, about 65 cm, can be a bit short for some.
The water filter is difficult to extract, we must insist, its plastic appeared to me quite fragile and it must go, this is the case to say, sensitively. The spout does not bleed.
The manufacturer's description mentions a wide opening. True, but it is crowded by half the filter devices and opening up, making it difficult for inner cleansing that has no a little hand. That is, the cover souvre 90 °, its adjustment and its control are correct.
The instructions (in multiple languages including French) is very clear and complete.
Water is boiled in 3 minutes
Operating temperatures are indicated by 5 sensible keys match their uses:
100 ° - black tea / fruit tea / herbal tea
95 ° - hot chocolate / instant soup
90 - instant coffee
80 ° - green tea
40 ° - without recommendations (probably bottle)
Sy adds a touch "keep warm" to "hot-to-edge" of 30 minutes.
Compared to a competing high-end tea that I will not mention, she has less key 85 ° and more than 40 °.
I Navais no thermometer to measure the reality of actual temperatures reached; but unlike a previous opinion, I have found through the visual side of the device, filled two cups, that water is not boiling on the positions 95 °, 90 ° and 80 °.
I am not a 'taster of water "professional, but I have not found between different taste even boiled water in a stainless steel pot and boiled in the kettle.
When the temperature is reached, the kettle discreetly beeps (too?), Repeated after 2 minutes
PRICE (4/5)
At 60.49, this is the third of the price of the "Rolls" (stainless steel it is true) kettles for virtually the same services. But it is a third above the average price of plastic kettles temperature selection, perhaps of lesser quality, recently appeared on the market. The quality / price seems good to me.
