+ Very good workmanship. Everything fits perfectly, switches and membrane keys are reliable and have a good pressure point.
+ Class design: The brushed stainless steel case looks elegant and seems to be surface-treated, since keeping fingerprints very limited and if necessary are easily washable.
+ Large capacity (1,7l) and yet the kettle does not look too bulky with a height of just 26 cm from.
+ Different temperature levels can be selected: The substance may have 80, 90, 95 and 100 ° C. For most applications (eg tea) ranging from 80 ° absolute. Once the water has reached the desired temperature, there is a beep, the temperature button lights steadily and the kettle switches off.
+ Removable water tank. The pot can be lift and settle in any position.
+ Good handling. The lid opens by pressing a button on the handle, so that someone can easily fill water. When pouring nothing goes wrong.
+ High stability: The broad device base with 15 cm diameter ensures a secure footing.
+/- The device is not just a kettle, then 1.7 liters of water until approx. 5 1/2 minutes at the boil. No really bad time, but competitors are faster.
+/- It can be heated to instructions even small quantities of 0.25l. With my old stove it had to always be at least 0.75 l. However, this minimum amount is not specified on the scale. This can probably explain only the product designers.
+/- The warming function may indeed be innovative and practical, but in my view is a waste of energy.
- The outer housing is - how often to "metal kettles" - piping hot, so burns. It should at least indicate Philips with an eye-catching warning label on new device, because the instructions for a kettle is probably hardly anyone read before.
- The window with the measuring scale located behind the handle, making it difficult to read when filling. The problem is compounded when hanging from the previous use still Kondenstropfen on the inside. It's annoying in the long run very.
- The lid does not removable for easy cleaning of the container. But honestly, I miss this person not because we have soft water and an internal cleaning has never been necessary otherwise.
A good kettle with an attractive design, high-volume but room for improvement in detail.
