Excellent! Quick boiling. The button must turn red to start boiling. Initially, it is always green. So if you fill it and place it on the base, once it lights up, you press it once. If you already have it on the base and it has gone into standby, you press it once to "wake it up" and another time to start. It makes a sound every time anyway so you can tell if you actually pressed it (because it is touch-sensitive, it might get stuck a bit). Now for the limescale, it depends on the hardness of the water in the area. Leave it overnight with boiling water and vinegar, and it will be like a mirror in the morning.
Very good overall, the temperature setting is very convenient. One star is lost due to the very poor insulation of the body. If you heat water at a high temperature and touch the iron, you get burned.
Obviously, it collects limescale like all kettles, but you can clean it very easily with vinegar and it shines like new. The quality of the materials is very good and most importantly, the water does not come into contact with any plastic because simply there is none in the Jug. 10/10
After 2 years of operation, not very frequent, it suddenly started to lose water.. at first only when the water was boiling it lost it from underneath and then you simply added water and it would leak from the plastic "window"
It doesn't have the best material quality but the temperature adjustment is convenient, especially when you want to make milk for the child or some beverage
Nice stainless steel kettle, no problems with its operation after about 9 months of use (almost daily). The temperature setting is very convenient, especially for beverages that need hot water but not boiling.
It collects limescale inside, like all kettles I think. Every few months I boil water with lemon juice, let it cool, and then just rinse it and lightly scrub the inside with paper. This way, almost all the limescale goes away, without using strong cleaners.
I bought the Gruppe HHB8702D 1.7lt 2200W Kettle based on reviews and very quickly reading only the 3-4 most useful ones.
The use I wanted it for was only to boil water.
What none of them mentioned is that after the water boils, don't make the mistake of touching any part of the kettle with your skin except for the handle, you will get burned!!
I didn't expect a kettle costing €30 to be something you can only hold by the handle; I had much cheaper ones that had protection on their body.
The temperature setting and the touch button are personally irrelevant to me, and I believe they add extra steps to the process for someone who just wants to boil water; I would have preferred just an on-off button.
As for limescale, color duration, etc., I don't have an opinion yet; it's too early.
Poor quality materials. I got the red one, it was a mistake, the color faded after a few months. I find the on/off button annoying, but that is subjective, others may like it.
Beautiful, functional and at a good price. The 3 stars are given because if you leave water inside after boiling, for more than 30-40 minutes, it starts dripping from the base (and the base is in the socket as we know). I have never had a similar issue with the dozens of kettles I have used, but with this one after each use I have to drain any excess water, otherwise I will find it on the floor. I have learned it now and it's not a problem, but the first few times it happened I needed it.
I have 4 of them, they all work perfectly, they are touch buttons, and the great thing is that it can keep the hot water at a constant temperature! awesome!
Very nice kettle, very practical temperature selection. It shows live what temperature the water has, so you can stop it between the dozens (e.g. 65, 73, etc.)
Very good kettle, I wanted a kettle with temperature control and it proved to be a very good choice. It has been working daily for 8 months now, two or more times a day. The temperature adjustment is easy if you read the instructions for use. My previous kettle had an easier temperature adjustment, that's why I didn't give it 5 stars.
Flawless everyday use for 7 months for heating water 2-3 times a day for baby formula. It works perfectly!
It's a lifesaver.
I repeat, it is used at least 3 times a day. The temperature indication is accurate as it has been checked with 2 other thermometers.
You set the desired temperature from 40 to 100 and it goes there where you set it!
A lifesaver for the formula...
Excellent kettle for everyday use.
Does not easily catch limescale.
Very convenient the option to choose temperature.
The red color is very nice.
The touch button is a bit "weird" only, but once you find the way everything is fine.
Boils quickly, there is no particular issue with the salts, of course, this also depends on the area where each person is located. The unique feature is that you can choose exactly what temperature you want (30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 & 100), truly unique. For the money you spend, I think it's worth it. We'll see how long it lasts.
Very high quality kettle. I wanted a kettle that you can adjust the temperature and this one fully meets my needs. Plus, it is made of stainless steel. It heats up the water quite quickly.
It boils water quickly, it has a nice appearance, very convenient that you can adjust the temperature where you want.
Unfortunately, my model was defective and when you set it to boil at 100 degrees, then the sensor never reaches 100 degrees (96-97) resulting in the water boiling non-stop and the kettle shaking from the boiling and splashing water outside. Very bad because it can cause a short circuit and the house to catch fire.
I informed the store where I bought it and they told me that I should contact the company, I sent to the company and explained to them what was happening (I had it for only 1 week) I sent them a video and the only response I had from a gentleman there is "to make sure if the kettle has salts and to do a descaling and use it with the lid closed, otherwise I will have to take it to the GRUPPE store (who operates a kettle without a lid?)" I'm not going to waste time and effort to go and have a look at a kettle, they should send a courier to pick it up and take it to the store for repair (or replacement) and send it back to me.
In other words, they didn't really care about my problem, they just answered with the poem they know (they may know the problem and just avoid answering), how can you give such an answer for a product that has NO trace of salt, it's only ONE WEEK, simply unacceptable the "courier".
Just because they didn't help me with my problem, I will not choose them again (I know, I know, they cared a lot) hopefully others with similar problems will appear, to withdraw this model, it is also dangerous, nothing else.
I bought the kettle from a well-known supermarket chain (so there is no confirmed purchase here).
It is amazing, the temperature setting solved my problem, especially when you want the water at 70 degrees for Nescafe (without burning it). With the old kettles, I had to sit on top to close it myself.
As for the limescale, the hardness of the water definitely plays a role depending on the region! With a good boiling at 100 degrees with water and vinegar, it shines like new!
I like that the lid is detachable because this way I can place it upside down to drain.
The price at around 33 euros is really value for money! and it's worth it and more!
I relied on the positive comments and bought it. It is as described. Nice appearance, especially the red color. It is worth its money. In some negative comments I read before buying it, it was mentioned that it makes a lot of noise and there was a comment about a loud whistle. I would describe it as quiet because the only thing you can hear is the water boiling at very reasonable and low levels. Honestly, I don't know why each negative comment was written. I don't have an opinion on its durability over time, simply because it is new. From my previous experience, my kettles lasted about 3 years with daily use. -- I highly recommend it
Excellent kettle!!! It's worth its money and more. By pressing the power button for two to three seconds continuously, it keeps the water warm at the temperature you have set for two hours
Good construction, very convenient temperature selection and it doesn't catch any salts at all. For this price, I don't think there is anything better.
Very good kettle and very good that you can choose the temperature. Regarding the issue of minerals, the water is important, we add water with a little vinegar once a month and there is no trace of salts
