She smells more like plastic than my previous model did at the beginning. Once she was also a slightly burnt smell of itself, but it no longer appeared at the next use.
Very unpleasant, I find that the steel element is not all of a piece, as in many other stainless steel cans. A floor and wall are two different elements which are put together. This increases the risk that they will leak, immensely. On the product photo can not be seen, unfortunately.
She is really unwieldy. The lid can not be found, if it is open. I thought before buying, I'd get used to it already. But if you constantly have to keep the pot during filling with one hand and with one hand the cover, which would otherwise fold down, annoys. If I'd let down fold it on the faucet, I would no longer see when I have enough water in it ...
It also spills when pouring. Only if you tip very slowly, this does not happen. The spout is sized too small. With the lid closed, therefore, you can not dump the water anyway quickly. So you have to turn the lid with one hand to stop, then spills less.
