The old kettle broke down and I started looking for a new one. After a long time of comparing the parameters of various products I came across this piece and satisfaction is great even after a long time when some of the "blemishes on the beauty" are already manifested. This kettle has a temperature setting option, which is great for making tea and coffee both in terms of proper preparation and power consumption. The power cord is sufficiently but not excessively long, the base is stable. What was a pleasant surprise is the still good function of opening the lid, a common problem of many kettles, when the lid gets clogged with limescale and either stops working, creaks in various ways, or even breaks off. Buttons on the base and signaling diodes without a single problem. I can only recommend this kettle.
The kettle looks fine, but one thing bothers me - the pouring spout is quite small. And there's no air suction. That means the water flow is pretty low, or it's doing that glo, glo, glo thing where the beak has to bring the air back. It's a big problem when I take the water right after boiling and go to pour it into a cup. In this case, the still actively boiling water will overpressure the kettle and the water will quickly rush out, as the excess pressure has nowhere to go and must leave through the water stream. All the kettles I've ever seen had a space at the top somewhere for the steam to escape/air to escape. Here the cap is hermetically sealed and everything goes through the tiny beak. Some intentional damage to the cap seal, a pinhole or something, would solve it. I'll see how I feel about that. It's not exactly pleasant as it flows slowly or sputters. (I often pour larger volumes of water from the kettle into pots etc, so it is quite time consuming - and running it with the lid open is not ideal) Another minus is the zero documentation on how the kettle behaves in what situation. I am referring, for example, to the state where I have active temperature maintenance on. I was quite surprised that this maintenance "survives" even lifting and placing the kettle back on the base (it has to reach the set point, if it is taken before it reaches temperature, nothing is restored)! I researched it more and if the kettle comes back with at least some warm water, the sustain resumes (beeps twice). However, if the kettle returns with water at a temperature below 40°C, this is partially cancelled - the setting remains, but the start button flashes and the target temperature LED and temperature hold LED light up. Pressing start will start it (restore it). If the kettle is now lifted and put down without pressing anything, the default mode is restored. If you want a lower temperature, first click right, left temperature and then start. If the temperature hold symbol is pressed in addition, it will hold.
If you put the kettle on the base with cold water, nothing lights up or beeps - it looks a bit strange, dead. If it's taken off while warming and put back on, it beeps. If it picks up and sets down again, it no longer beeps, it just displays the current temperature. You can click the temperature or start almost immediately after putting the kettle on - there is no need to wait for a second or two "before it starts". I understand that praising such a stupid thing is strange, but I've seen worse things nowadays, so one wonders when something is logically done. The quality of the kettle looks nice, including the base. I was concerned about the viability of the buttons, but after disassembling the base of the kettle, there is a silicone membrane visible over all the buttons - i.e. no water can get through the button to the electronics. The base itself also has holes through which the water flows down and away, i.e. no puddle remains in the base. Otherwise, inside, the electronics look like such ordinary Chinese. The last Electrolux kettle lasted 8 years, it died of mechanical damage to the connector in the base and started to throw the circuit breaker (some spring broke and it went into a short circuit, unfortunately it was so scented that even cleaning and removing the spring did not help - there was still some conductive path of vaporized metal) That's all for the review "when you buy a kettle electrical engineer"
Lovely design
It looks pretty good
The base also appears to be waterproof
Inside stainless steel, including sediment strainer
Water temperature setting + temperature maintenance
Simple operation in normal mode
The spout is quite small
It has no air suction and therefore pours slowly or can even spurt a stream of water
Zero documentation - the 5 pictograms in the "instructions" don't really count
It only displays several water temperatures with LEDs. The older kettle had a two-digit display
Inconsistent behaviour - temperature maintenance is not cancelled by lifting the kettle. Also, sometimes it beeps, sometimes it doesn't. it makes some sense internally, but if nowhere does the manufacturer even say what it is supposed to do, it is hard to take it as a positive. to a normal user it seems to be beeping randomly
Non-linear water temperature indication - from the old kettle I could see the temperature nicely on the display, here there are LEDs, but they are not linearly graded, so it is visually deceiving towards the end - "nothing"/40/60/80/85/90/95/100°C
Lid control can be opened without problems even with boiling water
