First: We have the kettle now more than a year in operation, and there is still nothing broke or canceled. We were looking for a nice stainless steel kettle and ultimately has given us this most liked - even though we were willing to spend up to 100 E. The kettle works quietly and the blue base lighting is real dandy. One shortcoming is the maker really (was already mentioned in a previous review): The lid is beginning to something heavy, which is a bit better with time. When the lid had a screw or bayonet connection I would give smooth 5 points. So there are just only. 4 Conclusion: If you can live with the slightly stiff lid, receives a beautiful stainless steel kettle with an excellent price-performance ratio
