Good points

Good Points

  • Cord storage.
  • Acceptable noise levels.
  • Very easy to fill up.
Bad points

Bad Points

  • Only OK for handle comfort and balance.
  • The kettle has to be tilted a fair way towards the end which could be uncomfortable on the wrist.
  • Only OK to pour, as the kettle feels heavy and water comes out slowly.
  • Indicator light might be difficult to see in a bright room.
  • Filter is a little fiddly to slide in and out of the kettle. If you drop it inside the kettle it is very difficult to get out due to small opening.
