The kettle gives a very good quality feel.
Workmanship and design are really top.
A truly high quality device.
The features are well thought out, such as occurs from no water from the lid, if you pour too fast times.
The pouring is virtually drip free.
The clear window on both sides are well scaled and let the Wassertemeratur visually imagine (boiling beads are well erkannbar).
Henkel provides a very good feel.
The actual function is easily explained.
There are 5 icon buttons for 4 different temperatures.
40 ° C.
Green tea (80 ° C).
Instant coffee (90 ° C).
Black Tea (100 ° C).
Herbal tea (100 °).
Why is there now 2 symbols for the same water temperature I can not necessarily understand.
By pressing on the icon button or the "Keep Warm" button, then the kettle keeps the temperature for 30 minutes.
After reaching the temperature an acoustic signal sounds.
With its 2,400 watts of Philips brings the maximum amount of water of 1.7 liters in about 5 minutes to the cooking.
This can be seen.
Descaling is, due to the stainless steel liner full, no problem.
Although I personally recommend for the tea or coffee pleasure principle filtered water (which also reduces the calcification significantly).
Conclusion:
For me the Philips Avance is a kettle with a twist.
I like it and can recommend it with a clear conscience!
