Optics / haptics
The kettle is visually beautiful fall simply. The majority consists of a chrome-like material and shines. All points that you can touch or has been processed in black plastic and does not heat up so. When you switch a white LED in the boiler indicates that the boil water works. Furthermore, the plastic lever lights up when. If you want to complain about something, then it is actually the input / Aushebel. The does not quite fit into the overall picture of the kettle as it is clearly made of cheaper plastic.
Functionality
As discussed above, I have the old kettle scrapped because it has dropped. This is of course infinitely annoying when you want to pour a little and the egg splashed beside. That's not the case with the WMF cooker. It's pouring a pure joy. Even the boiling of water is in a reasonable time. For the water fill folds the cover by 90 degrees upward. This one has enough to fill space without problems of water.
Bottom line, I can en kettle, even if it is quite expensive, without hesitation recommend.
