The Tefal KI170D teapot has demonstrated during tests that it is a well-balanced product and at the same time it is inexpensive.
Small features are a two-sided filling scale, which makes the device convenient for left-handers, but contains only three divisions. In addition, the limescale filter is easy to remove and put back after rinsing.
The process of pouring water is quite accurate when restless, however, if the jet is larger, the accuracy of filling is reduced. And this electric kettle when boiling is one of the loudest.
