+ Real stainless steel cooker (exterior and interior); on both sides big viewing window for water level (you can also watch the water while cooking;))
+ Interior can be cleaned easily (hand fits in) is meticulously crafted and combines generous 1.7 liters
+ Shutdown when not enough water
+ When operating the kettle will light blue (blue LEDs in the interior, illuminating the water that then blue lights through the openings). Although I am not a fan of such shenanigans, I find it implemented well. It does not look cheap and you can see whether the stove is on, even during the day
+ Kettle is fairly quiet (cooking takes one was insulated, contributes to the high quality image, below)
+ Switch on the handle to open the lid (lid jumps when operated smoothly on). Switches to turn on easily accessible at the rear wall of the digester.
+ Scale filter can be cleaned quite costly in dishwasher and even descale
+ Water tastes great, but caution is hot;)
+ No power consumption when turned off (yes, there are kettle from Philips that have a standby consumption)
+ Water can be readily and accurately dosed. It runs down anything on the outside
+ High perceived quality (Open & Close, switch to work accurately); it rattles nothing; All parts have a good feel, it looks nothing cheap.
+ Fits optically perfect to my stainless steel kitchen
+ Filling works over the spout, or via the opened lid.
+ Looks good when it's not on the station (is not at all the case, cookers)
+ Station is also well done (visual and functional). Cable can be in the floor (invisible) roll up so that only as much cable out looking as necessary.
+ Optimum weight of the kettle (not too heavy, not too light)
+ Can be switched off manually
+ There is a matching toaster, coffee maker
+ Stainless steel color fits well to my old stainless steel toaster, so that I can save me a new purchase.
minor weaknesses, which, however, have little impact and do not adversely affect the rating for me.
- Is to be expected as with stainless steel cookers and the outside of the stove hot (as in every pot); for the water is really tasty without plastic residues in the water or in the taste
- Not much else I noticed, except that my tea consumption has risen since then;)
Conclusion: 5 *; strong buy recommendation for all provide a high standard of quality, at a good price.
