This kettle is really beautiful aesthetically. It heats water quickly and 4 programming of the degree of heat of the water is more than enough. In addition, the plastic parts are minimized. Virtually nothing inside of the kettle. The only downside, as I have read in some reviews is that illumination of the graduation of the water level that can not be extinguished unless unplugging the kettle. I found a simple and quick parade: before putting the kettle on its base I put on the base a rubber seal, O-ring type, and then I put the kettle then finds slightly elevated and contact no longer made and the light stays off. For me, the product is really worth that is interested.
