Needed a new kettle. This appealed to me visually so well that I decided. It is now for about 1 week in use. The design is just amazing - a real eye-catcher. Anyone who sees him every day fun comment on it .. I am even style. The deep red and the retro design look simply great. Stainless steel boiler and heater Covered speak also for very good quality. Why do I still a star depart ???: 1. Slight plastic odor when heated (I am assuming that this gives the time). 2. Due to the small opening and the reflective stainless steel one can estimate the amount of water filled bad. Since you need then probably the mounted under the handle for scaling. It was easier with my "old" kettle. 3. If all pouring water, you have to remove the lid and place next to the pot. As often collects Kondenswasserdarin, this then usually runs on the desktop.
The old kettle was really handy. Actually, I would deduct 2 stars. But because it happens to be so fantastically beautiful and its purpose (water cook), I can bring myself only to a point deduction !!!
