Good cooker - with ergonomic weaknesses

+ Concealed heating element
+ Desired water temperature selectable in increments of 5
+ Digital controllable warming function
+ Cord storage in the bottom of the base

More on functions, a stove, except perhaps an insulation cover and opening a separate button that is NOT hot, do not offer. Other points on this unit are also a good solution:

+ Fixed Stand
+ General good processing, good grip
+ Good Kalksieb
+ Free drip spout

Why is not there then 5 stars? Some achievements of the past are unfortunately lost again, another goes better. Here the points in detail, which led to an overall star deduction:

- Level indicator on only one side of the device. Right not see how much water is in the boiler. Incomprehensible to me. Despite the large display on the front panel also here Währe room for a given window. This is a real shortcoming
- The display is lit and although huge, but is slightly lower in the device and should therefore be seen not good when you stand upright in front of the device.
- The cover is quite small and does not open 90 °
- The Kalksieb is very stable, but can also remove unnecessarily difficult
- I found the use of the temperature selection and holding unintuitive
- No indication of the temperature in the meantime reached

So even a well-processed Kocher, who brings considerable comfort for its price. The manual (yes you need for something like that) is very neat. Who does not bother with the level indicator (for me the biggest criticism) can buy this kettle without hesitation.
