I ordered on Mar 25 and received on Mar 30 which is a bit long on Qoo10 and from QExpress. At first I think the base is not stable as it has only 3 legs but after I added water seemed stable. Pot only gets hot after an hour.. not boiling mode as I don’t see bubbles. The exterior pot is metal, be careful if you have kids. I think is hot for me. I boiled water almost full to the rim and drained off for next use. Delivery guy service is superb as usual! Thumbs up!!
