I got one of these from the high street to replace a Swan D01 which died after 20 years. Big mistake. The design is full of flaws:
1. No flat top for a tray, so you need to find somewhere else for that.
2. The backlight for the LCD clock is too bright, and is always on.
3. The viewing angle for the LCD clock is too narrow. From my bed, I cannot see the time at all.
4. It boils the tea before the alarm goes off, instead of after, which I want.
5. To work round this I tried setting the alarm only, and then making an "instant" pot of tea. Unfortunately, it will not let you set the "instant" function until 2 minutes after the alarm has gone off.
6. The alarm also rings after making an "instant" pot of tea - which is plain wrong!
7. The filler cap for the kettle is awkward.
Do yourself a favour and get the Swan instead. I found out too late that it is still available on Amazon.
