So the kettle from Hobbs comes in nice packaging and therefore looks quite classy, which is mainly due to the materials glass and metal. The blue lighting in operation gives the whole a little classy. The scale filter on the spout can be removed a little hard, but it sits firmly and beautiful. Unfortunately, the beautiful appearance is very quickly marred by limestone and water stains, must constantly brush! In addition: my old kettle of Petra half price cooks the same amount of water in a little less time (and also has a blue lighting). After all, he does not drip when pouring. And the glass may seem to be stable, falling down times it would not survive well. The lid opens gently at your fingertips. The display lines for capacity could be a bit more visible. All in all, a device "state-of-the-art" with beautiful design, but also requires maintenance.
