This model in black is available for two years now bought in our kitchen, I have the boiler used, a total he is five years old and looks like new.
No signs of use, nothing wobbles, the switch does not rattle, not the cover.
The cooker is very fast, at 1800 watts actually no wonder.
I especially like the water tank made of stainless steel. Here the water tastes just for water, nothing else. No plastic taste or an unpleasant metallic taste of the open heating coil (since nickel is often released).
The cooker was once criticized in a test journal that the stainless steel during cooking water is hot. This point I can not understand, a pot on the stove is hot, too.
The cover is actually a bit difficult compared with other stoves. It can be difficult to open when hot (but it remains in place when pouring). Moreover, can not see how much water is poured into the cooker one. I do not mind because the propriety of other ads cooker after some time always give up the ghost and I have gradually developed a sense of what needs to clean water for a cup or my teapot.
Conclusion: never again another kettle. Since the production is supposed to be moved to China, I'll buy myself a replacement model with the label Made in Germany. If my favorite kitchen supply should eventually cant fi give up the ghost, then I will spare me the unspeakable looking for a good kettle.
In my eyes there despite small weaknesses namely no better.
Edit: I can understand the attached here criticisms in other reviews at all. Neither drips when pouring, still runs out next to the water passes on. It drips anything on the handle, the automatic switch-off works properly.
In the hot state, the lid is difficult to open, in the cold state but without any problems. The kettle can be filled very quickly and easily with the lid open. And it is very easy to descale. A Kalksieb in the passes on the hard water would be at what we have, useless because after the first use already congested.
