Now my criticisms:
The lid opens when handed operation by pressing a button only one piece. If you want to open it completely, you have to push it back manually. Is he open, it remains there however and does not tilt back. Overall, I find the lid opening but too small. Although the lid goes on attack to about 70 ° C, unfortunately, the opening having a small diameter. To get on the ground, in the event that you have to clean it out to, I have with my really very slender hands had problems. Even taking out the Kalksiebes is quite pfriemelig. When pouring the last, remaining in the pot water some water runs with me every time the cover up out of what apparently has to do with the Kalksieb. After you take out the filter running anything from the cover, but the pot then spills when pouring. One can choose So what is a rather ;-) The heating element at the bottom is covered, that is true, but vertically the pot starts up the heater, or whatever you call the. What I find a bit clumsy, is the non-angled power plug. Takes on the countertop, unfortunately a lot of space, because it stands in the middle pure. Who is fit, can tinker a new plug off of course.
The longevity remains to be seen, since I use the stove several times a day.
Conclusion: Actually a great pot, if he had not the defects. I'll keep him now anyway, since it is already quite favorable, but would not order it again. The Amazon also offered Klarstein Morningstar Kettle seems to be the same.
