True, the kettle is heavier than other kettle, and when pouring me was already something wrong, when I poured out too much at once. I can also confirm that it is very loud when cooking - louder than all the plastic kettle, which I had previously. When heated, forms at the top of condensate. There is no water level indicator. That does not bother me personally, but everything not essential. However, the steel in my opinion not of the highest quality - you need a lot of polishing to get him free of stains. That bothers me personally, so I subtract a star.
Among the advantages:
The base is non-slip. As the kettle is inside of one piece, it can not become leaky (in all my previous kettles eventually ran out of water at the bottom.) The cable is not less than any other kettles that I have been using - I is the length just right. The water's hot in a very short time and cools down more slowly than z. B. in plastic kettles. The cover is removable and thus easy to clean the unit inside despite the depth.
