So this "cordless" kettle Russell Hobbs. He's a normal manageable but strong kettle (up to 2200 W) in fine style. A glass jug was here beautifully framed in brushed stainless steel. An additional blue / purple- LED installation during operation visually reminds a bit on a small gas stove.
The cooker fits comfortably in your hand and is subjective in the empty state is not too heavy. The lid can be easily opened for filling by pressing a button by the holding hand. If you switch the kettle on the bottom mounted lever switches that the entire glass jug and the water filled in is "gas cooker-look" background bluish. Neat effect when the water starts to boil, you can see the rising bubbles blue shimmer. The level display indicates the fill level in liters, at the top are still the max. Marking - 1.7 L, at the bottom there is a green cup on the 1-cup option .....
The kettle switches off when removing it from the power supply board or upon reaching the appropriate water temperature automatically. If you fill 1.7 liters of cold tap water a, so is the max. "Cooking time" to switch off the set at 5-6 min.
Attention, because the stove is mainly made of glass, it is quite hot even on this material. Of course, the handle of heat-resistant plastic and therefore is easy to handle.
Depending on the water hardness is produced more or less quickly a decent layer of lime on the heating plate and the glass walls of the digester. A small Kalksieb in the cooker therefore effectively prevented when pouring, the Kalkkrümel in the cup land (cleaning instructions see instructions). Here is the crux of the beautiful appearance, because the white lime stains are then quickly ugly. In the manual is then also advised to descale once a month the boiler.
Conclusion:
It is of the functionality that is a normal ordinary cooker additionally really very noble appearance. The stove does its job as usual (he "cooks" water). For me, the price at the time of review, however, is still very rich, here the design is clearly credited - nevertheless I forgive like 4 stars - product works and I like it very visually.
