Positives: This kettle from Tefal has absolutely its merits. First, it looks very good. His body is kept in matt black, which is not only chic, but also smaller dirt laminated before then times to come to remove them. Second, it heats up the full filling of 1,5 liters in 4.20 minutes, which is a good value. And third, he holds as promised, the water not only warm but hot. After half an hour it was still so hot that I could not keep the fingers clean. In other words, even later arriving family members or guests still get immediately their soluble coffee, a broth or whatever requires hot water. The lid closes tightly and with closure, so that at high slope can not suddenly flow out all the hot water. Fourth, easy to clean On the positive side, inside there are no steps or edges, only a smooth stainless steel body, so that one gets along well with a cloth or sponge. And fifthly, it can burn the exterior of the device is really no one accidentally. Unlike several other stoves the exterior is always cold. Excellent for homes with children and people who can not or no longer applicable assess such risks.
A small criticism dots is the scale filter or better its attachment. Here my personal a Einsteckschiene would have been better than this little fiddelige Dreipunkteinhakung. But you get anyway with some skill out well. All in all, a thoroughly successful, very visually pleasing kettle.
Negatives: Under certain circumstances, can run out of water from the lower part of the handle and then collect in the switch area. The whole is not a singular phenomenon, but - unfortunately - replicable. How can this happen? The stainless steel container itself is of course closely. It is the condensation that collects on the lid necessarily base on heating. If you open the lid and keeps the cooker slightly obliquely backward, then added the condensation residues in the region between plastic sheathing and Wassebehälter. Above a certain amount, it shall then be deemed to trickle under the handle again. This in itself is unfortunately a very problematic event, the water runs but in the areas directly at the counter inside.
Basically Tefal should urgently revise my opinion the device. Nevertheless, one can also now largely avoided the critical problem because it does not have to occur necessarily in normal operation, but as I said only if you tend the kettle back. To see inside or because you swung about the residual water in order to flush out impurities such as calcium particles or with can. Is it aware, allowed to remain backward tilt and then no problems arise.
Were it not for this downside I would probably have found the ideal device to boil water. But there remains a bitter aftertaste UDN hope that it shcnell are a successor who has not this problem.
