Transparent case allows you to see the level of water, the stage of boiling – small or large bubbles, boiling. The lid opens with a handle: not too tight, comfortable, easy and safe even when the kettle is hot. Kettle handle has an ergonomic grip. Operation indicator – bright red on white background – very visible. A cord rewinder helps you adjust the length of the cord. The kettle can be interrupted with an on/off switch if needed. Complete absence of any smell distinguishes this model from other plastic kettles of the same test.
Two buttons – on and off – are side by side, like “2 in 1”, so it’s very easy to miss: instead of “on” press “off” and wait for the tea to boil. Pay attention to the operating indicator light. No voltage switch, but a travel kettle could use one.
