Very high quality look and feel plastic, all parts are well processed, very high quality workmanship. Glasses and spoons included – very convenient! You can adjust the length of the cord by wrapping it around the body and fixing it on the clip. The lid opens with the special flap, it is safe and comfortable. Double-sided, wide scale with cup water level marks clearly visible. Nice that the travel device provides for voltage switching.
Nowhere is the maximum and minimum volume in milliliters indicated – only in cups, but we found out by experience that the volume of one cup on this scale is 160 ml, the same is the minimum water level, and the maximum volume is 480 ml. With this small volume kettle has not the most compact body: the dimensions are comparable to the size of a kettle with a capacity of 900 ml. Moreover, the kettle does not turn off more than a minute and a half when it is on with almost no water.
