The device is indeed mostly made of plastic, but has a really very good quality and has a steel base, which heats the water (so no heating rods or heating coil, but everything "smooth"). When even a small water outlet (entnehmebares) sieve is conveniently placed so that any limescale deposits can not be reached in the cup.
Conclusion: Very good price / performance ratio, therefore strong buy recommendation!
A short afterburner with a tendency to "Off-Topic":;)))
In various test magazines this kettle has received significant point deduction, because it is hot outside. This view is completely incomprehensible to me, because if you put a pot on the stove, is the all also hot. That's exactly what you would expect. Constantly making everything extremely "childproof" harms children in the long term more than it benefits them because they lack the corresponding respectful and serious dealing with such things!
Another good example of the recent development is the way to give the children only LED lanterns at St. Martin's procession. When should children or else learn how to deal with fire, if not under the supervision of tens of parents, caregivers, kindergarten teachers and other adults ???
