I can not understand at the kettle looks chic and fits in any kitchen, whether modern or country style, the customer reviews of my predecessors. The machine does the job and the water is very hot. I use it not only for the tea, but also as a cooking aid to water for example noodles to heat quickly and works great. I have no personal water is very hard and therefore no spot problems and calcification phenomena after several months use. Especially to complain about lime and water stains on the outer wall of the kettle, I find ridiculous, as it for hygiene but this includes, including kettle wipe the surrounding kitchen appliances at housecleaning. My only drawback is the ON button (the little blue lever on the side of the stove), he does not look stable, and it may well be that it goes sometime broken by rough operation.
