The kettle never stops short of boiling so if you set it to oolong (top one 90c) it will boil then once temp drops down to 90c it will reboil and keep doing that. Not the way I thought it would work but that's fine as I like water temp hotter then that for oolong.
It tells you the exact temp in C in increments of 1c so you know exactly where you are as its boiling. I just switch it off before boiling.....and then you can see the temp fall over time and its easy to know when you need to re-boil.
The major thing for me was the pour. I was using a classic western kettle with a huge fat short opening with a terrible clumsy pour.....this is like a micro fine laser beam in comparison....very nice and the boil is very quite. Its also 1 litre rather then my western one which is a huge 2.5 litre and I never even half fill that one. So its really nice to handle.
Alex, you seem to know your way around those buttons. Can you help me figure out which does what? Have you seen an instruction manual in english? It's all -ahem- chinese to me!
I've just recently purchased it, then I had to wait for a power adapter/converter from chinese to schuko, and now that it's finally here I'd like to know more about those buttons and labels.
Well top right turns it on.
Top left: boils then re-boils once it reaches 90
Middle Left: boils then re-boils once it reaches 80
Bottom left: boils then re-boils once it reaches 50
And bottom right: boils then re-boils once kettle is placed back on the base
Hope that helps....I only use the bottom right button

Thanks man, that really did help a lot.
I've noticed that the top right actually has three states:
1. on w. top left green light also on (temp display on)
2. on w. none of the lights on (temp display on)
3. off (temp display off)
I have not yet tested if moving from state 1 to state 2 stops the boiling but keeps the temp display on, or not...

Yeah you're right it has 3 states and yes moving from 1 to 2 stops the boiling and keeps the display on. I usually boil it to 85c then click top right to go to state 2 and then it crawls up to and stops on 90c bang on.

I'm pretty sure there arent any. And if there were it would probably be around about the same as just getting it direct from DTH....price wise.
