Although I had a choice to buy me a device at the hardware store for one-third of the money, I have decided on this unit because I wanted the one quality, on the other hand was taken with the Drop-Stop function. Precisely that was important to me. Unfortunately, the device holds especially here not what is promised. My undercounter unit drips very well. Maybe a little less than conventional devices without this feature, but it drips with any heating. That's the reason why I will not make up my mind next time for AEG. For me the difference in price to simpler devices is unfortunately clear.
