The kettle of AEG has a classic shiny appearance, personally like me. It summarizes 1,7l, at the side level indicator can be seen from outside the level. But you have to turn the handle to the left, otherwise the cover in the field of view is (which comes primarily into play if you do not fill the kettle under the tap, but with a pot). The lid opens with a switch on the handle, so you do not have to touch it if you want to heat up 2 times in succession water. It opens so far that you can easily fill water. One must conclude the lid then manually, but it snaps instantly with light pressure. Very positive, I find that there are no plastic parts inside the digester, which are cooked with. The scale filter is indeed made of plastic, but it is not submerged in water cooking. You can remove him if he wants to. The handle of the kettle is ergonomically good, even a completely filled kettle has so well under control. It does not heat up with the heating of water. The rest of the cooker is obviously already hot, but the handle is so far that you can not run the risk of touching the stove when gripping. The water can be poured in a very controlled, both when completely filled kettle, as well as the last bit. The water boils very quickly, even with full facilities, the performance is good. Especially the controlled pouring and the good handling like me. Of course, the kettle has all Sicherheitvokehrungen: a dry protection, automatic shut-off when the water boils and he goes out, if you take the kettle from the base. If that style so like, I can recommend this kettle full.
