A very very nice look, that the photo presentation does not really do. It is heated to boiling the water capacity of 0.8 l to about 2 minutes (tap water at 13/15 ° c). Its base allows 360 ° rotation of the container and it is more significant when one has a much cluttered work area, this allows the positioned as desired. The power cord of a meter is a bit tight, especially since it is quite rigid (there is more flexible). The scale indicating the level of water is clearly visible and can fill the desired amount of water, 1 cup 2 or 3 25cl. But the real plus is the flat resistance that makes cleaning the carefree limestone descaling with white vinegar kind, unlike resistors twisted chrome, which over time degrade. In chapter strength all is well made, the on / off switch that is the organ that is most sought appears solid and the fact that it is light in working order is also a plus. The hinged lid is now open itself is useful. In summary a very good product, I did not find honest criticism has formulated, although I am an avid user of this type of product. The price is reasonable, certainly there are less expensive but the quality of plastic is probably not as good.
