    you can control the temperature from 70 80 90 100 degrees so excellent for different drinks such as white tea that brew best at specific temperatures. Boils quietly and quickly. Set a six minute

    Great buy
    Great kettle, had it around 3 months now with no issues. Nice big lid for filling, large capacity and boils pretty quickly. No elements showing so easy to remove limescale. Looks good even though I was unsure if it would look tacky with so much plastic but looks classy in the kitchen. Buy with confidence

    Good looking kettle
    I like the kettle, noise wise it’s average but the beep when it’s finished is helpful and the keep warm button is good when you remember to press it. I do find that once it boils you have to give it a second to stop bubbling or it’s spirts out everywhere if you fill it to max so the beep maybe a little premature. Energy efficiency I have no idea, it boils pretty quickly so I’m guessing it’s probably not great but the keep warm button may make up for this. I’m happy with it and I’m fussy.

    Can you live a kettle?
    Well I admit I love this one.
    It looks fab in my kitchen, the black & chrome – very stylish.
    But it works brilliantly.
    It’s quick to boil and quiet too, except when it beeps to let you know it’s ready.
    We are a family who drink different types of tea and coffee, hence why we went ahead with the different temperatures. And I must say it improves the flavour of the tea / coffee if you prepare it at the correct temperature too!!

    Certainly staying in our kitchen as a must have!!

    All good so far. Boils quickly and pretty quietly. Various tempreture settings useful for coffee and green tea. Flip lid – where most similar kettles fail – appears robust. Only failing is the darned stupid place where the sight glass is placed under the substantial handle – how does such a thing get past the design stage?

    Best Kettle I’ve Ever Owned.
    Love this kettle. Looks the business and does the job without any drama. Not too noisy and not annoying to live with.

    Opening for refilling is nice and big and the base is sturdy. I love the contemporary design and I bought the matching toaster which is also great.

    Not many products with this type of look/functionality at this price point. Buy it.

    BUT it beeps really loudly when it boils, when it turns on and it is not just a subtle soothing beep to accompany your coffee. It is an ear splitter, especially at 5:05am when my wife puts the kettle on.

    A high quality, reliable, feature packed kettle
    Since purchasing my last mid-range kettle two years ago, I found myself in a dilemma after the appliance in question cracked its glass housing whilst heating some water.

    I decided to go the extra mile and purchase a more upmarket kettle which could handle frequent use. After some research I settled for this Bosch kettle and have not regretted it.

    The Bosch kettle has a premium finish complimenting it’s modern, stylish design. The top third of the kettle has a stainless steel finish whilst the remaining two thirds has a white plastic outer layer with the stainless steel embedded behind it. This certainly helps to keep water hotter for much longer; I found water remained hot since boiling it 40 minutes beforehand, whilst the kettle body remained cool to the touch preventing me from burning myself.

    The handle is ergonomically sound making the kettle comfortable to grip, lift and hold whilst filling it up or pouring its contents.

    There is a easy to view transparent window located behind the handle to check the water level over a scale ranging from 1 cup to 6 cups. This is also presented in its litre equivalent of between 237ml to 1.5 litres.

    The top of the kettle has a flip open lid which is opened by pressing a circular button located at the centre of the lid. When opened there is plenty of space for water to be poured into the kettle up to the desired level.

    Adjacent to the flip open lid there is a stainless steel temperature selection switch used to set the water temperature between 70 Degrees Celsius and 100 Degrees Celsius. I found this option rather useful for heating the water to an ideal temperature for hot drinks and cleaning. Or, if I required water which was not boiling hot, but hot enough for use in food mixtures or recipes, this saved me the time I would have spent waiting for the water to cool down to the required temperature.

    A touch switch is located on top of the handle to turn on the kettle rather than the traditional pushdown switch which is usually located on most kettle bases.

    A “keep warm” switch is situated beside the aforementioned switch used to keep the water at the selected temperature for up to 30 minutes; a great feature when hot drinks are in constant demand.

    The kettle also has a detacheable mesh limescale filter located at the spout which can be washed and reused.

    The separate kettle base has a nicely designed cable holder which allows the length of the power cable to be adjusted and neatly tucked away underneath.

    I found this kettle to be the quietest I have come across when heating water; once the water has reached the desired temperature the kettle beeps in a pleasing fashion.

    As with all kettles limescale does begin to rear its ugly head inside the kettle body; this can be removed using white vinegar as per the Bosch instruction manual. I have however, found the level of limescale buildup is significantly less than other kettles I have owned.

    Whilst the kettle is certainly at a more premium price point, the sheer quality, features and beautiful, yet practical design has left me filled with confidence this kettle will last for many years to come.

    A quality kettle, if somewhat expensive.
    After buying a lesser make and it lasting barely two years, I returned to Bosch for the replacement. The variable temperature control is handy (and effective), and the kettle is stylish. The base unit is compact so takes up minimal worktop space. The fill volume is easy to read from the clear panel, and the kettle boils fast too. Worth the money? Time will tell.

    I bought this kettle after seeing it when visiting family over Christmas. I was so pleased with it that I decided to buy it & Amazon was selling it at a very competitive price when I compared it with other retailers. It boils very quickly and I particularly like the fact that you can reduce the temperature if you’re making coffee. My husband always says his coffee tastes much nicer when it’s made with water that’s not boiling. The kettle looks good too. Really happy with it & would definitely recommend.

    Arrived damage so had to retu
    Ordered one of these kettles as we had one in our holiday cottage on Mull and found it to be very easy to fill, pour and heat up. It does have a very loud beep to announce temperature achieved which may annoy some! We rated this kettle on that experience.
    Unfortunately, when our ordered one arrived the metal rings/rivets in the base had fallen inwards into the base of the kettle and so it rattled! Probably caused by delivery method – it just arrived in its box with no added packaging. Bosch helpline suggested it would be safe to use but also agreed we should return to our seller for refund as it was “damaged”. Once we feel happy to enter a shop we will attempt to buy another kettle in person so we can be assured it is okay!

    Does the job nicely.
    Despite some negative reviews on here I decided to give it a go anyways. Not many other kettles had a temperature function which I wanted for green tea and coffee. The ones which did were either very expensive or cheap with awful reviews.

    Temperate function works really well and ‘keep warm’ function is nice too.

    Love that the kettle is insulted and you can touch the outside of it – even when boiled to 100 (if you so desired). This serves a dual purpose; prevents accidental burns and keeps the water hotter for significantly longer (especially compared to my previous glass kettle).

    Seen some reviews that it’s noisy but compared to previous kettles, it’s quieter by a fair margin. I don’t know what you expect when you’re boiling water?! The beep when boiled is loud but again, it’s meant to be…?

    The base and button are very nice and intuitive.

    In terms of longevity, I cannot comment as I’ve only had it over a week but so far so good.

    Brilliant! but a couple of niggles
    The kettle is a mile away from our old Morphy Rich. However, couple of things: When you fill you cant see the fill level which is behind the handle. Takes a bit of getting used to! Second, be careful when pouring boiling water dont rush the boiling water out, be gentle!. Would still heartily recommend.

    Good kettle
    A very good kettle that should’ve been a great kettle. It boils quickly & is amongst the quieter kettles I’ve owned. It has a good capacity but it can be hard to read the amoun of water in it on the gave as it’s not lit up. Also while the temperature control is very good if it started at a slightly lower level say 60 degrees it would be great. None of the very slight niggles should put you off though as it is quick to boil & reasonably quiet.

    Brilliant Kettle
    I purchased this kettle to replace my old one which was cutting out. A friend recommended the Bosch Styline so thought I’d try it. It is so fast and very quiet. The variable temperature choice means you can use it at 100 degrees for very hot, which makes a perfect cup of tea, 90 degree setting is best for coffee and the 70-80 degree setting for herbal teas and hot water bottle filling etc. You’re saving on energy, because you are not boiling a kettle to the max when you only need a lower temperature. It also has a Keep Warm setting which is very useful too. They do it in black or white. Can highly recommend this kettle.

    Efficient and easy use
    I have had one of these kettles before and they are so reliable my last one I am sure I’ve had it for 8 years or more and sadly something went wrong on the base unit but on average most kettles dont last this long ,
    So on that reason alone i searched for the same model . After my delivery i checked my old kettle on the new stand it still boiled water , that’s how reliable it was.
    Sadly the base unit on my old kettle a contact had failed after 8 years and although it may have been serviceable it had anti tampa screws on it. So the old kettle will be boxed and kept as a spare .
    It is a good quality unit I apprpve it and it comes in a choice of 4 colours .
    Great choice well worth the price for quality.

    could so easily have been 5*
    The kettle works very well and we like the different temperature settings and the ability to keep the water at temperature for 30 minutes.

    I could not give it 5* due to what I believe is a basic design fault. The window to see how much water sin the kettle is placed behind the handle instead of on the side. This makes it difficult to see the amount of water in the kettle. It also means that the kettle could be less efficient than possible as people could be putting in more water than required and therefore using more electricity.

  72. Cristina90L says:

    Worth the money!
    Chunkier than I’d usually like, this kettle feels like a durable piece of kit. The plastic outer coating means the outer walls maintain a safe temperature and despite its size it is surprisingly lightweight.

    Handle is comfortable to grip, lid works effectively, pouring spout doesn’t dribble. The temperature controls are easy to operate and it is really quiet. I particularly like the little “beep” as it hits the selected temperature. Hopefully it will last longer than my previous two non-branded kettles which both died within a year of purchase due to frequency of use.

    I’m slightly amused by how much I love this kettle, I would definitely buy it again!

    MADE IN CHINA! - lost it one star, however - - -
    As there’s absolutely no reason to boil water for any kind of brew we were keen to replace our defunct and now unrepairable old kettle with a temperature control kettle, and something a little smaller than our old kettle. An electric kettle is more efficient than a stove top, and temperature control increases that efficiency, less wasted energy. However, by comparison with the short-lived of modern electrics, our old cordless stainless steel kettle kept a boil for more than 20 years, only becoming problematic this last year…

    Well aware of the 1, 2, & 3 star ratings, and having read them with concern, especially life expectancy and reported faults, we saw the balance, 4 & 5 stars making up 91% of the reviews, and we decided to go for this one anyway.

    What we like – the temperature control and the way it counts/lights up from 70 to 80 to 90 to 100, depending on which you’ve set it at. The ‘Keep Warm’ option/button is a nice touch too. The balance, handle to kettle, and the pour, are great, and it is lighter than our old fully stainless steel kettle. Despite some reporting a plastic taste, and while it is predominately plastic inside, following the instruction, two boils and a little vinegar, thrown away before first actual use, we’ve not detected that problem at all. However, the double walled construction does really add a level of insulation that means the water keeps warm longer than it did with our full metal one.

    Some disappointment was found inside – except for the stainless steel bottom it’s all plastic, as too most of the outside, minus that purely cosmetic band of steel around the top two fifths or so of the kettle, but, as already said, there is that added insulation. As others have mentioned, the level reading behind the handle is also a bit of a drawback. However, it’s quite wide and it’s easily read, left or right, and when it’s on its stand. If you’re filling with an open window before you, it is VERY easy to read and to measure out what’s wanted. So, really, that very wide bit of clear plastic is not a drawback for us. It works brilliantly, is easy to read.

    We’ve been using it for a couple of months now and our appreciation only grows, including for the various noises, as when it lets you know it’s reached the temperature you’ve selected. Time may reveal more…

    Our biggest disappointment with this purchase – ‘Made in China’! It is for me a serious concern and reading that did make my heart drop a beat and cause hesitation. But, as you’ll no doubt know, it’s damned hard to find almost anything that isn’t ‘Made in China’. We absolutely do not equate that with ‘quality’, on the contrary. The 1 & 2 star reviews speak to some of the experiences we’ve had with other things ‘Made in China’ – cutting corners, short life expectancy, cheap materials, poor quality plastics, etc. And there’s much worse – the putting of profit before human & environmental concerns; the general corruption of a communist system; a general lack of quality control – from a distance; their general disrespect for patents and human life and liberty; and China being the world’s capital for the making and distribution of counterfeit products.

    Why do multi-national companies choose China to do their manufacturing – profit! – no environmental controls! – cheap labour! – from those mining the resources to those working along the whole line of processes towards the finished product, kettles included – with a lack of care or concern for work and life conditions, for human or environmental rights; high incidences of pollution (land, water, air); high instances of lung ailments, cancer and mental health issues… But, hey ho, the dirt of all that isn’t in our backyard, we export it. Yes, I do feel some shame in that, mea culpa! Our general opinion of Bosch has gone down a star because of this choice of theirs to make their products, this kettle, in China…

    Those companies that have kept their manufacturing at home, or have pulled out of China, those are among our heroes, deserving praise and more deserving of our consideration and money. I so wish we could have found something like this that wasn’t ‘Made in China’, and that was fully stainless steel inside, with loads of reviews that were 100% 4 & 5 stars…

    Great Kettle.
    I bought this Kettle to replace one of the same that l have had for years, it has a beep signal when you turn it on and also when it turns off. The temperature light flashes as it heats up, you get 4 temperatures to choose from 70 to 100, a choice to use depending on what you are using the water for. I certainly recommend it.

    Superb kettle
    V quick & efficient due to double wall. Outer wall is coolest I’ve ever had on a kettle. The temp control settings are 100, 90, 80 &70C. Several minutes after cutting out at 90 water still v close to 90. The beep when switching on is actually short & quite quiet, not at all the horrendous noise some reviews state. I guess if you were blind this could useful. The beep at reaching temperature is useful as I am often doing other things while it heats. Looks v smart. Delighted with another quality Bosch domestic appliance.
