The WMF kettle is quite expensive, for the price you get from other manufacturers three transparent kettle, some still with lighting, also boil the water. As for me, no kettle has the temporal blessing, no matter how cheap it was (and I had therefore still a), there was to be no good reason to choose this expensive branded product. The large capacity of 2 liters (1.7 liters official limit, but there's more), the little extras that the attractive appearance and especially the Duran glass were ultimately the reasons for the WMF product.
The product is very high quality, the visual and tactile impression correspond to the price. Also, I've found that the stove considerably faster 1.7 liters of water with its 1700 Watt heated when the old boiling 1 liter of water with alleged 1200 watts (fresh decalcified, no deposits which would impair the heat transfer). Obviously, also makes for a simple low-cost product that is never broken, the price / brand a difference. Therefore, five stars for quality product with appropriate price!
