u0026#149; Noisy.u003cbru003e During the dry boil test the kettle does not seem to recognise that it is empty and continues to go through the entire boiling cycle, turning off when it indicates it has reached 100°C. However the kettle remains undamaged.u003cbru003eu0026#149; Only OK for handle comfort. The handle could have more grip and kettle is a little bottom heavy.u003cbru003eu0026#149; Handle has to be tilted a fair way towards the end which could be uncomfortable on the wrist.u003cbru003eu0026#149; It exceeds the preset temperatures of 50°C, 60°C, 70°C, 80°C, 90°C and 95°C by 8°C, 5°C, 8°C, 5°C, 5°C and 1°C respectively.u003cbru003eu0026#149; Poor water level visibility.u003cbru003e
