I must confess only once to have ordered this kettle for purely optical point of view and only then I saw how many watts it has. Vacuum cleaner etc. have been screwed down and a kettle has 3000 watts? But more on that later. , Unwrapped he looks very good, and I can hardly believe that the housing at this low weight should be made of stainless steel. Many parts look just like metal, but are made of plastic. The design is very nice, because above this AEG water cooking is square with rounded corners, widens downwards and ends in a round shape. The design works for itself and gives this kettle a timeless charm. The water level indicator is very difficult to see as so often with kettles under the handle and therefore when the container under the water line holds for filling. The one-handed lid opening is functioning properly, and to clean the opening is closely advised a little and the lid does not have a very good impression. In addition, this kettle does not drip and has an Auto Power Off. , Advertised this AEG kettle with its fast warm-up time, but I have tested with different amounts of water and so as advertised not even true. I have to go far below the minimum capacity of 500 ml to reach 35 seconds until boiling can. Just to make a small cup of water during this time! What do I need 3000 watts? And if they all electrical appliances (Staubsaubger etc.) are screwed down with the wattage needs a kettle which is not significantly different from other devices, these high wattage hardly have well. Also allowed an outlet that is protected by 16A, be loaded with a maximum wattage of 3680 watts. As in many kitchens but a multiple plug is used because of the number of appliances that operate this kettle could possibly also be quite dangerous if not FI is available. , In summary I can give this kettle only 2 stars because it only marginally faster the water to a boil bring than any other kettle, many plastic parts used to see the water display only very bad and the opening is very tight. Since this price wertigere devices are on the market.
