This kettle is of excellent quality and has impressed me immediately. A total of harmonious shape and color - the handle is stable (screwed!) With good insulation properties - the Tüllenmechanik processed good and easy to handle barbarian. The whistling sound is fine. The lid can be solved without loose to sit (ie just the right strength) easily - problems when pouring I have not, the water flows slowly exactly to where it should go. The boiler is well packed with cardboard inserts, without unnecessary plastic packaging. The instructions are kept only in englicher language - who does not understand, is also so deal with it. The manufacturer offers a 10-year warranty.
