The article presented here is a kettle and is composed of two parts: the base for electrical power and the kettle itself. This allows to move the pitcher and serve the hot water without worrying about the power cord.The base has a cord long enough electrical connection, which can be wrapped in a practical way in the bottom of the same, so you do not have a cable too long when not needed. The top of the base, but while electrical contact that feeds the tank once it is placed above. The joint between the base and the kettle is not particularly firm, which may give a certain feeling of lack of solidity to the product, but in fact poses no security problem and even allows you to easily lift and remove the kettle without the basic will remain dangerously attacked.
The kettle can be from a minimum volume of 0.5 L up to a maximum of 1.7 L of water. The liquid level can be controlled through the clear plastic graduated on the side, stroking 0.5 L (min), 1 L, 1.5 L, 1.7 L (max). The upper door can be opened only by pressing the gray button on the top of the handle (not manually) and is automatically locked at an angle of about 45 °. Once opened, the door can make a further shot back if pulled by hand to achieve greater openness, so that the device can be filled more easily. The inability to manually open the door but only by pressing the button for example, ensures that it will not open because of the pressure of the liquid when you want to pay and are a guarantee of safety from unwanted spills, and then burns to any .A closed door you can pour the liquid from the nozzle face, which also has a filter to trap any impurities plastic fluid. This gives the impression of being removed, although after some testing honestly I could not remove it and then I gave up (perhaps my inability). In addition, the filter also acts as a barrier, preventing any hot splashes from escaping during the boiling process. The kettle itself is a good solid feel and the plastic it is made not by the impression of a cheap product in his hands, showing good attitude as a thermal insulator. This allows the device to handle without burning too much in case it is necessary effetturare grip on the body and not on the handle. The electrical contacts of the tank that are in contact with those of the base are visible by looking at the bottom of the carafe, and are placed in sufficiently so that we can avoid accidantalmente wetting or splashing water or if it rests the carafe on a wet surface.
The device can be operated with a slight pressure on the red button located under the handle, which pivots forward and thanks to LED lights under the clear plastic red (visible also from the bottom of the carafe). Once the liquid reaches the boil, turn off the red button is automatic and you reposition yourself to the starting position. As with any cylinder, should be careful because at the end of the boil, steam is emitted from the nozzle (there avoid placing the unit under such a cabinet made of materials sensitive to moisture).
As far as running times, boil 0.5 L of water requires less than 2 minutes and if filled to max level of 1.7 L is necessary to wait just under 6 minutes.
In conclusion I am very satisfied with this product because it performs its task admirably and, despite the budget price, returns good solid feel and the impression that has been paid much attention to detail, especially with regard to security conditions everyday. The device also has a very attractive which in my opinion it combines nicely with the design of most kitchens (because the eye wants its part :-)).
I recommend it to anyone who needs so well under a kettle of value for money.
