I swapped my old kettle Tefal white plastic 1.5 liter against 1.2 liter stainless steel kettle that and I do not regret it. Aesthetically, it is very successful: slightly high, compact, discreet and very "chic" stainless steel and black. It makes very little noise in operation, heats quickly and its capacity is sufficient for at least three large bowls of breakfast (and more coffee cups). It has all the functions you would expect from a modern kettle: removable jug and wireless, automatic stop as soon as the water boils or if the jug is empty, voltage light indicator, volume gauge and wire retractable under the base. I was skeptical because of its low price and I was wrong. This is a great product
