The special thing about the kettle is that it allows different temperature settings. Here you can choose between 80, 90, 95 and 100 degrees. Depending on the drink should be just cooked. In addition, the kettle has an on-off switch, and a warming button. With the help of the holding button, the water can be maintained at the preset temperature for 30 minutes.
The water level indicator is in 3 cups, 4 cups (1 liter), 5 cups, 6 cups and 1.7 liters divided. As the smallest amount of water not less than 0.25 liters for heating in the unit should be given.
The use of the kettle is simple and self-explanatory. Just the kettle with the required amount of water filling, press needed Start button, select temperature, press appropriate button and wait until the water has reached the desired temperature. When the water has reached the selected temperature, the kettle indicates this by an audible and visual signal. Whereby care must be taken not to touch the hot water boiler, since he is very hot outside. The black plastic handle, however, remains completely cold.
To clean the kettle can be descaled with vinegar easily. Is he outside a little dirty, it can be cut easily with a damp cloth (if necessary with a little detergent in mind) wipe.
One shortcoming is that the kettle has a small opening. If you want to wipe the kettle from the inside with a cloth that is not possible. Another disadvantage is that the water level indicator behind the handle and can thereby be read only with great difficulty. It would be better if the display would be mounted at the front or side. It would be desirable even when the water level indicator would also show a further 0.5 liters. For lovers of green tea, for example, it would be nice if a key for setting of 70 degrees would be present. The temperature setting of 95 degrees could be eliminated in return.
Overall, I am impressed by the Philips kettle. The possibility of temperature setting is super convenient. He also looks visually appealing and is easy to clean.
