By producing in painted steel, the device is outside already hot; should take a long time right off you, so do not a short contact, however, has not harmed me. The handle remains fortunately cold and can be touched without any problems. The standard safety features such as the shutdown when the water boils or if there is no water in the boiler is working properly at the stove. (The latter I think is very important because as a forgotten kettle is not equal to a cause for the fire!) Likewise, the lock of the hinged lid grips well and firmly. Due to the large opening and the compact design you can easily fill the kettle even when under the water crane is very little space; even in the bathroom the kettle fit loosely under the rather short crane.
Very well resolved is the spout of the digester. Even during rapid pouring the hot water arrives where it should go. It drips and nothing beside the water flows smoothly from the spout without falling. As had previously been very different devices experience where you could be lucky abzubekommen no hot water.
The compact kettle from Russell Hobbs is therefore a safe device, the water heats up quickly and you can handle the kettle well. All in all a solid kitchen gadgets, to which one can draw well.
