Important to me is personal but the function. For filling it is necessary to remove the cover, you can not fold up by thumb pressure as with other models it. Then to set the pot on the stable glass base. The power of 2200 watts is enough to bring 1.5 liters of water in about 3 minutes to cook.
Positives: The glass base has a rubberized bottom plate, so that the kettle on the workspace can not slip. Also very good: When pouring the water of (plastic) lid keeps absolutely tight, so you can not scald with ascending, hot steam up.
What I liked less: The on / off switch is a simple, transparent plastic pen (see product photo), here I would have liked a more stable version. What personally struck me not, but other family members, is the plastic smell when heated. It probably comes from the transparent level indicator. As I said it did not bother me, but users with sensitive noses should bear this in mind with.
Conclusion: Great design, perfect function, good value for money, but ideally suited as a second boiler for the office, for buyers with high quality standards under certain conditions. Knappe 4 stars.
