I can not understand the other reviews for this product. This kettle has several design flaws: 1. The lid spring is extremely tight. Women have massive problems, the lid - the not can be removed - even aufzubekommen. 2. The spout is a bad design. It is almost impossible to pour water without this runs down the unit or otherwise uncontrolled leaking. Even if the boiler is only half filled. The cause is probably the slot of the non-removable cover. 3. The device is apparently not sealed between stainless steel container and a plastic part. Result: After less than 4 months obviously water has gotten inside the heater. Short circuit. FI triggers. We sit in the dark. Feierabend. The unit returns. Can I absolutely recommend!
