Normal product, but wanted more for the money.

I fell for the gorgeous and "metal" exterior of the Braun WK 5100 kettle, which led to my purchase of the appliance. However, upon closer inspection, we discovered that the interior of the teapot is made of plastic, and the metal is really a cosmetic overlay on top of the plastic. And on top of that, it sways when it's placed on a stand, which is really upsetting, and I returned it to the store because of that. Prior to that, there was a Braun WK 210 kettle that had fulfilled its purpose for nine years before it started to leak in the region of the water level indication.

Pros

I was under the impression that it was made of metal due to its stunning appearance and the fact that it has a "metal" finish.

Cons

Plastic lines the interior of the kettle, with the metal exterior serving merely as a decorative overlay on top of the plastic. Hangs from a stand. Swings. It is roughly twice as heavy as a standard teapot.
