Somewhat confused by the reviewers before me, I have longer weighed the pros and cons of different kettle. Despite warnings that the kettle intrusive beeps when you take him out of the station, I bought it because it is not made of plastic but made of stainless steel; He also looks really good and suits my other devices. And he can wonderfully heat water only to 100 degrees and then logs reliably, once the desired temperature, for example, 80 degrees is achieved ... all automatically. If I do not want to bring to a boil, but to a certain temperature, the water, this is also completely simple. The temperature corresponds exactly with the display in line (compared to tea thermometer), so I know I will pour my tea actually with 80 degrees hot water. And by some reviewers as extremely intrusive 10-times beeping I find absolutely not so disturbing, as described, my breadmaker or the microwave beeping much penetrating and loud ... and, moreover, I can handle this beeping, where I previously the switch my Steckdosenleiste operator. All in all, a good device for a fair price for me.
