The device is of course an eye-catcher, especially when the whole is also illuminated during operation. However, the lighting shows the weakness of the concept of mercy, namely excellent visible lime stains on the hot plate and edges forming the glass. Monthly decalcification is the minimum. Apart from doing the kettle his duty, after decalcification even very quiet. The spout is working well and does not drip, the automatic shut-off function. So pretty the glass may be, it is of course very hot during operation. In this respect, the device in households with children is always to supervise and otherwise touching the handle. To the boiling time of the water heater needs a good 5 minutes at maximum filling. Concerns I have if I want to cook quick succession 1.7L twice - the Schott glass, quasi still 100 ° C degrees Celsius, should a filling with cold tap water hardly too often survive.
So far I have considerably more favorable unit Braun WK 300 used, the me regarding ease of use (for example, determination of the level is, the outside is not hot)) like better - the course is not quite as stylish.
