ERGONOMIC DESIGN

Jug. Made of stainless steel. Stable and solid kettle, reminding of the good old kettles, which were put on the stove. Rotates through 360° on its base.

The scale. Clear, but not detailed – only three levels: 0.5, 1 and 1.5L. But it lights up beautifully, changing colors depending on the temperature of water, t. e. Acts as a temperature indicator.

Stand. Plastic, on the bottom – a device for adjusting the length of the cord. Small rubber feet prevent slipping.

Lid. Small, easy to grip. Opened “manually”, without the help of buttons. Special latches ensure secure closing and easy opening.

Handle. Beautiful, convenient, and the whole control system is placed on it.

Bowl. Wide, cylindrical shape – the most convenient in terms of exact water in the cup.

Scale filter. Mesh, nylon. Fits in not very handy: you have to reach down through the narrow neck and touch the contents.

ERGONOMIC CONTROLS

On the handle there are three buttons: boiling marked with the “on” symbol , long boiling symbol “steam” , temperature control symbols “+” and “-” , as well as a display that shows the temperature parameters in big digits.

Nearby there are inscriptions 50, 60, 70, 85 °C, with one of which is combined indicator-point on the display when selecting the appropriate mode. We could not avoid a mistake: we chose the mode e.g., 60 ° C and pressed the button with the traditional icon, but it turned out that there was no need to press it!

We were surprised that the kettle, reaching the selected 60 ° C, did not turn off, and continued to heat water to boiling. If you follow the instructions step by step, everything will turn out correctly, but for us it was psychologically habitual to press the button “On” to turn on the kettle.

Otherwise everything is convenient: a separate button activates the long boiling process 3 min . , after boiling the kettle goes to temperature maintenance mode which you can choose , and after half an hour it turns off.

RESULTS OF WATER TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS

Heating. One of the most accurate devices, it allowed itself a deviation of 3 ° C only once: in mode 50 ° C it showed 53 ° C, in mode 60 ° C was accurate, in mode 70 ° C – 69 ° C, in mode 85 ° C – 84 ° C.

Temperature retention. Kettle should automatically keep temperature for 30 minutes. Set temperature 85°C, after 30 minutes – 83°C. In this case, the display shows the level of temperature in the hold mode.
