I own this model for about 4/5 years, I use it daily and it still works as well. great speed heating, high capacity (1.5 l) no minimum water as long as the bottom is covered with water, we can make it just a cup of warm water, no waste. cleaning is ultra-simple, a little white vinegar in water that comes from heating and hop it's all clean! and that even where the water is very hard! This tea is perfect at all points of view. it also comes in white but I find the most chic black!
