What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing's temperature claims are not fully consistent: the title and details describe variable temperature control, while the manufacturer text describes boiling followed by retained heat at stated temperatures. Customer reports mention settings from 40°C to 100°C, but that range is not confirmed in the technical details. Check which controls apply to this model and distinguish heat-retention times by temperature.
