Despite large brand name unfortunately in the sum disappointing across the board!

I had come to me the device as a replacement for my in the annual Royal "Aquagrad" Kocher ordered the hatte- increasingly completely failed after nearly 10 flawless years of operation the service or not regularly switched off when reaching the preset temperature of the "Royal" was absolutely thought: containers Edelstzahl (tasteless), stainless steel Kalkfiltereinsatz (no lime particles in the water when pouring), easy to clean (cover removed, thereby large, superbly accessible opening) installed, all the electronics in the base, temperature between 30 and 100 degrees in increments of 5 selectable, perfectly readable, digital temperature display in the base, 30-minute warm function. The only downer: No double insulation of the pot (danger of burned fingers when touched) and no automatic switching off of the base otherwise absolutely succeeded in decreasing Kanne-, and ideal for heating of children's and baby food. Only there the "Aquagrad" in stainless steel in the meantime unfortunately no longer, so I had to look for an adequate replacement. Otherwise, I would have bought the same device again because of the consistently positive experience.

Looking at the market for kettle accurately to, you will quickly become aware that there is only a limited, really useful number of devices to buy with temperature selection. Most of them either with fixed keys (usually 40, 70, 80 and 100 degrees), or else it beginnt- provided a variable temperature setting wird- given the scale usually only at 50 degrees and the range of different temperatures is only in 10 or even 20 degrees increments. A circumstance which disqualifies the stove for cooking baby food as well, as well as for fast time to prepare a "warm mouth" only drink when you should be in a hurry and do not have much time.

After much compare and examine the opportunities available, I went to the Gastroback "Colour Vision" encountered, which offers at least broadly similar ways, as I had previously been accustomed.

These are:

* Temperature control in 10 degree increments between 40 and 100 degrees
* Digital temperature display in the handle, with an indication of the instantaneous and set target value
* Temperature-dependent, variable LED indicator from blue (cold) to red (hot) is integrated in the pot
* 360 degrees base station with integrated cable reel

Once you have the "Colour Vision" fully unpacked, already the first disappointment: The digester is a "sham" - the complete pot is made of transparent, fairly cheap looking "all-plastic". The true optical quality acting stainless steel outer part, the two-thirds of the container bedeckt- and unless you believe the images in advance, suggesting the majority of the vessel was made was therefore made of metal is placed, the "noble Lock" nothing more than skillful "Shindig".

More Auffälligkeit- before the first time: but turn off the penetrating and aggressive odor reasonable "China plastic", and already the first concerns whether the flood of nose lovely "flavors" ever actual one (s) do not so directly may be biased. So set up base, plugged in and still fast the pot filled with water .... then will have the next deficiency of "Gastroback" apparently: in the container fit only 1.5 liter lean average, and certainly not always sufficient, as long as one example keeps you warm the water and wants to prepare several cups of tea. Since refilling and re-cooking is then announced.

The operating concept for temperature control is, essentially by only three buttons on the handle self-explanatory, the indicator for selected holding temperature (50- 90 degrees, marked by "luminous points" above the printed number of degrees), and arranged thereunder Digital display of set and actual temperature are clearly Readability here the manufacturer has done his homework well.

After pressing the start button, the cooker shall then also the powerful testimony at least if one of thundering noise to be believed. The cooking time beträgt- despite the smaller average container volume of 1.5 liters, so the almost 4 minute that many competitors can be faster. The case wonderfully in bright colors from blue to red light illumination may indeed serve as a guide when it is better not to touch the pot, is in total but no more than a nice amusement toy that sweetens the waiting time or little kids fascinated because everything shines so wonderfully colorful.

The temperature gauge in the handle operates both in the actual as setpoint temperature (+/- 3 degrees measured it) useful exactly the warming function (maximum operating 30 minutes), as easily fulfilled its purpose. So far so good, eigendlich spoke everything to keep the kettle of Gastroback also, and to award at least three to four stars as a consequence, if, indeed if the good piece not .....

And now comes the inconceivable: The Gastroback "Colour Vision" report already unused penetrant by plastic, but in warm or even hot condition beisende stench is almost unerträglich- since also help the manufacturer recommended, multiple Abkochversuche with always fresh water nothing , It goes, day after day, and the "Colour Vision" stinks and stinks of ausdünstendem plastic as if it were all toxic ingredients that the chemistry lab hergibt simultaneously provided worden- useless AND in modern times ENVIRONMENTAL CONSCIOUS material selection AN ABSOLUTE KO criterion! As can Me Gastroback no longer do know that this is supposed to be healthy, especially since the water is drunk directly from the container and usually also in the fluid itself continually, a clear plastic taste is perceptible.

It is already decided: THE GASTROBACK "COLOUR VISION" GO back to the seller !!!

These are joined by a few more inconvenient little things that annoy an additional:

- Can extremely small opening, thereby cleaning very bad and keep clean
- Lid opens less as 90 degrees, and can not be removed
- Fummeliger scale filter out of plastic with nylon and thin plastic noses to Attachment- breakage !!!
- Laveder opening mechanism in the can lid (does not work very stable and durable)
- Quantity scaling not stamped in in the Can case, but only printed (peeling of the paint pre-programmed)
Base Station for easy (slips, or will you lose weight the full pot with hoisted)

Conclusion: was in itself a good konsipiertes device that but not consistently thought in his practice to an end. These cheapest materials and an unbearable stench plastic ..... There remains only one thing: the return associated with the realization that a well-known brand acquisition does not always stand for viable quality. From the price, which is located at just over 50 euros and seems grossly overpriced, even to mention.

Ultimately with much kindness, so I have just two more lean Stars and of course therefore not advise. That was probably nothing, love company Gastroback- real shame !!
