I've wanted this kettle as a gift and use it in our budget for 1 month. On the positive side, as described often, that the water quickly boils - also you can see through the glass well, how long it will nachsprudelt although already off ... However: you can see the natural limescale quickly and as they spin around in the water. But the Ausgießfilter intercepts all eventually particles. Otherwise the handling is good, the material a bit cheap quality and there are some grooves that are safe difficult to clean over time. The water smells sometimes a bit after the plastic - the cover? - Because of the water vapor precipitates yes there .. But so far I am satisfied. :)
