I ordered this kettle, because our old the shutdown was broken, which may have unpleasant consequences. In the supermarket I found unfortunately only on low-priced equipment, which I unfortunately can now give no confidence. So I was looking for a device of a renowned manufacturer.
The kettle is with me several weeks in operation. He makes a very sophisticated look and is well made. A plastic smell was never available. The wide opening, it can be easy filling and emptying and the cleaning is quite possible.
