On transparent cover water droplets are permanently fused.
The opening is so small that a cleaning is difficult.
Temperatures are reasonably in - unfortunately we do not have precision thermometer.
And the heating times are typical for the current consumption.
Otherwise, it's a good device that beeps softly when the process is finished.
The device looks good, and so the Teemachen makes a lot of joy.
I highly recommend this device very, and it is probably worth the price (yet ists expensive ...).
Best Regards.

Addendum on 11/03/2013:
The device does still commendable his service as the first day.
The descaling is because of the small cap quite fiddly, but after hard work the unit again looks very nice.
The heating works perfectly (but takes a while for the annual thermal energy calculation, thanks to the review of "The Count").
We can use the device continue to recommend, who can afford the purchase price, and if you want to shell out the incomprehensible annual standby cost of just 20EUR (with 0,25ct / kWh).
