After I had a bad experience with a comparable expensive kettle of Gastroback (short circuit to 3 years), I ventured once again an attempt by one of the nobler models under the kettles. The result: When the kettle for very fast delivery arrived, he smelled a little neutral metal (like a pot, so completely normal), that no other "strange" smells. The water boils incredibly fast. Here, the kettle itself is surprisingly quiet. He is relatively huge but looks very chic. Although the handle is not moved, but because the lid is large enough, you can very easily fill the water under the tap. Moreover, viewed from above on a plate indicating the maximum level - which is super handy because saving time and you also need not wear glasses. Other kettle doing often problems such. B. because condensation is like fog in the level indicator or similar obstacles make it difficult to recognize the filling level. Thus, the filling is a breeze with this kettle. In addition, the smooth metal is easy to maintain. Buyer, I sent an email with a request to replace the standard plastic filter against a metal - it worked without any problems. And as a small gift, there were 6 pretty teaspoon to. I am completely satisfied!
