In addition, even users with large hands will find it quite convenient to wash the kettle. As the experience of testing other devices shows, this does not happen very often. However, the design of this model still has a small drawback: in order to fill the kettle, the lid must be removed completely.
The glass case is much more annoying: although it looks very beautiful, in those regions where the salt content in the water is quite high, it will require a lot of effort to maintain a radiant appearance.
For someone who uses unfiltered water, the joy of contemplating the sparkling glass will not be very long.
Which alternative to choose:
Kettle WMF Lineo 1.6l (you can buy here) at the time of publication of the report is the leader of our respective rating. It features a slightly faster boiling speed, better insulation and allows one-handed operation. To open, use the button on the handle, which releases the hinged lid.
In addition, it has a chic design and is made of stainless steel. However, when choosing this alternative option, the customer will have to give up the choice of heating temperature.
