great kettle, very visually appealing. Noise during cooking ok, of quiet but I would not exactly say. Time normal until reaching the cooking temperature. Not dropping as some other kettle during pouring of water. Needs improvement: stability of the stove on the floor plate, shakes a little, especially when bladder development nearing activation of the automatic shut-off. However, there is no danger. Another advantage would also be an angle connector in order to better run the cable at tile outlets along the wall can.
However, one must be aware that you can see any lime deposits, especially on the hot plate in such glassware. We have concerned us because of our very hard water a water filter. All in all a best buy!
