As I read in the reviews of other devices, some consumers are but for a device without plastic inner workings looking. This device looks inside like a saucepan - drawn in one piece.
For that the kettle is designed for 1.2 l, it is the same size as the 1,7l devices - shame really. However, this has to do with the specific technology of the lid opening. This works out an inward. This is only possible with a mechanism of a button - no hope that the lid opening to the weakness is. Have to cover those openings in boiling water always made a wide berth, but in this instrument the stainless steel container was inside the decisive purchasing criterion. The advantage of the lid opening is that you can leave the lid open, without allowing it snaps shut dry to the stove.
The functions:
Cool container from the outside, automatic 'cut off, switch off when high take and the cooking time are properly and well. Pouring works very accuratly and perfect for small openings like a hot water bottle. (Bottom to more)
The appearance is very nice. It looks really classy. Even better than the pictures.
The handling is perfect. He sits comfortably in the hand, is not too heavy, and put the power to the station is very good.
The lack of Scala on the charged amount of water does not bother me, on the contrary. There is also no minimum display like most kettles which is also at 500 ml - that would be me too much. I cook daily water for a cup of tea, because I have the measure of the feeling and have little water over. There are only a max. Water display, which is difficult to see, in fact, but because the open lid extends into the boiler that's logically the ceiling ....
Now I would like to say a few words about the negative reviews regarding the poor pouring performance:
So as you can mess with this kettle and water is poured next to a mystery to me. .... I've tried deliberately over the sink - you have a real ordinary (unnatural) pour momentum to shed water because the water runs namely the side of the spout over. I wondered just: Who pray tell pours so peppy boiling water from? With the momentum, I use just ne large 10 l watering with sprinkler watering a flower bed.
So these negative reviews I can not understand completely. I rarely (never) so USER a device that pours as accuratly as this. This is I think of the "anatomy" of the device, it's like you can see in the pictures, the higher spout, so the top edge is not level.
From me, there's a strong buy recommendation.
