Shapely and stable kettle

The kettle Russell Hobbs 18947-70 in Royal Blue makes an elegant and stable impression. It is meticulously crafted and I could not detect any unpleasant plastic smell. The unit has a capacity of 1.7 liters. It consumes 2,200 watts and to allow the water to heat up quickly. Since I am always Heat 1 liter of water for our tea, I once brought to trial one liter of water with our old kettle to boil. The old kettle has 1000 watts of power and required for a liter of water three minutes and 15 seconds. The Russell Hobbs kettle needs 90 seconds to bring a liter of water to a boil. But he also consumes more power. I would not use these 2,200 watt kettle in our motorhome. because I was afraid that the fuse pops out. But for a motorhome use the device is not intended.

The kettle has a removable scale filter. The trial removal of the filter and reseating was quite a fumbling, but I think if you did that a few times, it's even faster.

The kettle is stable and secure on his heater. The lid is easy to open and the pouring out of the water I had no problems. Something I found inconvenient attaching the water level indicator under the handle. Since I had already think about how I have to hold the device now, to see the capacity of the water during filling. At the base or under the base there is a cable winder. The insertion of the cable in the winding requires some concentration. But if you perhaps tucked the kettle in the kitchen cabinet, then it's handy when no cables lying around. In this respect, the manufacturer has thought of something.

The device is provided with a protection against overheating, which is quite handy if the water is boiled again unintentionally. When the water boils, the device turns off by itself. One can also stopping the Aufkochvorgang already manually, which is important because every now and then I prepare green tea and for the water to be hot and not only a lively boil.
