To:
- The base is operated at 360 *. It is not specified on the description of the device but that is the case, it can be installed in any position and refocused on its base.
- The indicator light. I saw a simple gadget, but it's much more than that. The visual is excellent, you can actually see the arrival of the boil with a nice effect "lava lamp". Moreover, with a kettle it can happen to leave the room and miss the boil, then return and wait stupidly before realizing that she has already taken place and that the device is turned off. Here the problem does not arise if the carafe is not illuminated is that the water is at temperature.
- The "thermostat". As can be read in many reviews, this is not a drive itself, but rather a switch between "boil" and "simmer" modes. A simple test can check it. However, this function is very convenient, whether to avoid burning with his drink, or for the safe use of certain descaling tablets that boiling generates almost explosive outbursts.
- The power cable can be stored in the database, which allows only deploy the necessary length.
Against:
- The cover does not seem to be a rock solid. I did not have a shadow of a problem, but heavy use, I think it could prove to be the Achilles heel of the unit. For cons, I read in a comment that the cover is opened only partially, which is not true. The cover open button at the top of the handle, only opened partially, but pressure allows you to open it up a notch further and maintain the fully open position.
- The electrical connection between the base and the kettle is coaxial type as the antenna cables or the old network cables. It is a registered design, and I am sure that it meets all conceivable safety standards and represents absolutely no danger, but people sensitive to the proximity of water and electricity will probably be more reassured by magnetic induction systems like Philips kettle pus mentioned above, although much slower.
