I bought because it looks as it looks!
And when he is in operation and the heating plate is blue!
The heat output is very good, the lid stays firmly in it, which is important when you rausgiesst the rest (so hinged lid go there once on).
Because it is made of thick steel, it has quite a weight, which is surprising for now. But even I with my weak arm can hold the stove and filled (is always short), so that's irrelevant.
