Moreover in a beautiful black, the glossy varnish in this case has no error. In combination with the chrome-colored accents the kettle looks very chic, only the handle and the bar with the water level indicator of matte plastic disturb a little the overall visual impression.
But the kettle works perfectly; the maximum amount of 1.7 liters of water (from the tap cold) it brings in about 5 1/2 minutes to boil, it is surprisingly quiet. Both currently my kettle of Beem and the office (Severin) are significantly louder. Pouring the water can be very good, nothing drips or runs beside it. The lid can be opened easily with light pressure. The opening for filling with water is sufficient for cleaning or removing the Kalksiebes However, you should not have big hands (less suitable for men's hands). The water level indicator is difficult to read because it is covered by the handle.
The cable is 60 cm long and can optionally be rolled under the unit; I would have liked a slightly longer cable. The on / off switch is in matt white plastic and lights up orange on the inside when the stove is on. As the kettle is made of stainless steel, it is really hot from the outside. However, the handle remains cold and can be handled well.
