My selection criteria were: stainless steel kettle, wireless, auto power off, a pilot lights next to the handle, not a possible "new" flavor. Had a first "SEVERIN 6005191 kettle stainless steel", which I have sent back because of Neu-taste in the water. This kettle is indeed almost twice as expensive, but worth it. Small and handy it is (even if he acts for 1l quite large), the pouring works great, filling well (the cover is completely on). Is very robust and of high quality. Handling is great, and the water boils in zero-comma-nothing. And the best: the water does not re-taste! It's worth it just yet, spend a few more Euros. Only I would wish now that he has pilot lights on both sides, and he now has no allerschickste style. Conclusion: Thoroughly recommended
