We have the kettle now about 2 months, it will be used often and daily. We cook exclusively tea water with it. Because everyone wants to have us another tea was a necessary kettle. This performs its duties since wonderful. Processing: It is a stainless steel housing the interior is free of heating elements. That was very important to me, because you can do it better descale / clean. The plastic is processed unfortunately somewhat carelessly. The Gußkanten are clear to see and feel. Therefore, for the haptic trigger star. Technology: The cover has to be opened or closed with the mechanics on top of the lid. The cover snaps on opening vertically so that you can fill with water very convenient - Good idea! Unfortunately, by latching a simple push very stiff. If you use the mechanics but very simple. When pouring the water, it is necessary that the lid is closed, otherwise the water running in a broad surge out of the pot. The kettle switches itself off automatically when the water boils. Well if you take forgets him ;-) The device you turned on by a switch on the handle and out - also very ergonomic. The power supply is done by a plastic base. Simple and easy - all in all very simple and well thought out. Conclusion: A simple kettle which what he is making very good and fast. From the optics, could be improved a lot.
