Looks great in the picture, the gaudy red, for that you have to lie down yes 30 euros more than for black or green. So ordered, shipped quickly, unpacked ............ oh oh! Who has experience with plastics, which immediately falls on the thin, soft and generally cheap quality of this material. The color is much paler than shown. Light pressure on the housing deformed it. Not that you have to do that, but it's not inspire confidence when one thinks of boiling water. Up at the edges traces of mold is which emerged from the housing. The cover of two thin struts mounted, promises a long life. How it looks like when it has been exposed for some time because hot steam? Fascinating how Bodum can afford it for 130 euros so offer a cheap quality. I can not give any information about the function, have packed the unit again.
