Very positive is:
The optical (red lacquered brushed stainless steel) is appealing in any case, and the illuminated water level indicator is when the unit is in operation, each time a looker. The water is reddish, the paintwork of the device and so you can watch reddish water bubbles during bubbling. The paint is resistant to fingerprints, which I really like because you do not after each use with a stainless steel cleaner should remove the unavoidable fingerprints.
The spout is he Kocher earned another plus, because it is so well formed that during casting absolutely nothing drips or spills, which I unfortunately know only too well of several kettles. The water comes in a pleasant narrow beam from the pot. The removable scale filter can be removed easily and readily re-insert, which also stands out positively.
The device is pleasantly quiet during heating and cooking, and the shutdown time to start cooking is reasonably set, so that not too much steam escaping through the spout. The state is safe and floating through the cord storage on base and the concealed heating element for me is a must, because it is much easier to clean, as a heating coil.
The criticisms are inside:
The heating element is concealed, and an annoying heating coil does not exist, but unfortunately is located in the jug continuously from bottom to top, a metal rod, which acts as a lid opener and can also calcify as a heating coil. The transparent water level indicator plastic is an ideal opportunity for calcification approach because it does not form a smooth surface on the inside, but like a narrow deep shaft is constructed. Both rod and shaft are not very easy to clean, especially as the pot becomes narrower upwards and therefore you a hand not quite so easy in gets to clean.
My conclusion: This kettle scores with its great looks, his well-shaped spout and be quiet operation, the inner life, however could be improved a bit, so I pull an asterisk.
