Video at Amazon.com See The kettle is not bad - maybe even very good, especially when you look at the design. I find it, however, not optimal, that the measuring scale is poorly visible, the kettle really hot we dim operation and also very loud (66dB up in my test). The cooking time for one liter of water is very good with about 2:40 - the performance is in line with 2400 W! My conclusion: Who has a design kitchen and this will auststatten with another gadget, this is the place - whom the function is more important than the appearance and who might also want to save a few euros, which is better!
