Bosch Styline Sensor TWK86101GB Variable Temperature Cordless Kettle, 1.5 Litres, 3000W – White

Have had this kettle for nearly a year now. Love the fact that it has a keep warm facility, it heats really quickly and you can set the temperature – this had been a game changer! Coffee definitely tastes nicer at 90.
It is a little noisier than the one it replaced but we quickly got used to it.
Highly recommended.

All good after just a month of heavy use. No leaks and nothing broken, temp control works really well. This kettle does need a rethink on the location of the filling window – right behind the handle is a dumb place for it. So far so good – time will tell if it was worth 50 quid.

This is the third Bosch kettle we have had in this style. It is an efficient kettle and the button controls enable you to select the temperature which probably appeals to some tea drinkers, or you can keep the water warm for a quick refill if desired. The kettle is cordless sitting on a base and looks great in any kitchen.

Easy to use, looks great on worktop and is not noisy. Downside, for some reason, I don’t think it performs as well as others in a hard water area but it just means the filter needs to be cleaned more regularly. I would recommend.

This is the best kettle we’ve ever had, and given my age we went through a few ! It looks very stylish and good quality built, easy to fill due to the pop up lid, easy to see water level due to the wide gauge. Boils quickly and beeps when it’s ready. The handle has a nice feel to it and easy to pour. Not used keep warm function yet. Overall very pleased, would but again.

Extremely pleased with this kettle. Love the styling, it takes up less room on the counter than any kettle I’ve previously owned. It’s easy to remove and place on the stand. The lid springs open a little sharply but its not a problem. Quick to heat up and not too noisy. Useful beep to remind you it’s finished heating.

I drink a lot of tea and I mean a lot! I also tend to get busy and forget about the kettle once boiled, but this removed having to reboil it as it would just maintain the temps I want!
It’s perfect for Matcha at 70C, green teas at 80C and black (normal) tea at 100C. I love it and when it eventually dies I’ll be buying another, or what ever the latest model at the time is.

Looks great, very stylish. Works extremely well and efficiently. The different temperature modes and keep warm facility are a great asset i use them all the time. I keep the temperature guide handy to refer to. Very light and easy to keep clean which is a must for me as i live in a hard water area.

Reviewing the kettle almost 3.5 years since purchasing there have been zero faults. The lid still opens easily and it still boils somewhat accurately quickly. I say somewhat as I would describe it from day one, ie this isn’t a scientific instrument!

Built like a tank, the majority problems I’ve read people are having / asking are 100% user errors.

We regularly descale it as we live in a hard water area and we use filtered water in it. The only way I can see this being replaced before it breaks through age is when we upgrade to an instant hot/cold water system or a more accurate kettle for coffee.

This is the longest delay between receiving a product and writing a review I’ve ever had. Purchased in early 2014 and six years later still working virtually perfectly. Only sometimes does the lid take a couple of presses of the button to open. No complaints from me!

The kettle is quite quick and not overly noisy but it cools down very quickly and the limescale filter really isn’t very good. (Admittedly, I live in London, but I did specifically do as much research as I could to try to avoid this.) I now filter all water before putting it in the kettle and occasionally use a strainer in addition. I’m also not convinced that the temperatures reached are as high as the kettle states. I can usually drink the tea immediately when it’s meant to have been at 100 degrees, whereas anywhere else I have to wait a good few minutes for it to cool down a little! The kettle is quite heavy but not as bad as a SMEG. It looks stylish enough and for the price it’s not bad.

Liked everything once I worked out how to get the top to open every time when the big button is pressed. The secret is to press it at the back, near the handle, although others seem to press it anywhere and get the lid to open, at least some of the time.
Otherwise, it boils water for tea or 80 degrees for coffee.

I was replacing the kettle almost every 3 years once and recently purchased the BOSCH after doing a bit of research on the internet. I hope this serves me better as the cost is twice that of the other ones.

Speedy next day delivery without any extra charges! Looks elegant. Wider top lid opening helps to fill water easily from the tap without splashing all over. Good-sized water level indicator window allows me to fill the water to the required level, without having to use my glasses! I hope to save some energy as I am not heating too much of water and thanks to the 4 level temperature setting I need not boil water to the boiling temperature. (saves some time too..) The only disappointment is that it is as noisy as the other ones. My 3 year timer starts for this kettle now…

Husband chose this kettle as he does not like “boring” looking ones! We have had 2 glass Russell Hobbs kettles in the past but eventually the lid handle becomes loose and the screw rusts. After reading reviews about this one we bought it and are not disappointed. The beeping when you switch it on and when it boils is not too loud as some people mentioned, and we quite like the fact that we are alerted when it’s boiled. Very fast boiling and not too noisy. Quieter than our last kettles.

My family and I like the kettle a lot. Yes, it is noisy but it heats the water quickly and it is easy to use. It shows the water temperature, which turned out to be quite useful when we need water for tea (we let it cool off until the temperature drops to 80C). We have been using it daily for over 2 years now but just around the second year we noticed that it leaks at the base. I thought of buying another one but not reading other people’s experiences, I realise that the leak is common to this and the comparable Bosch model.Such a shame! I will look for another brand though I enjoyed using this one.

I’ve waited some time before reviewing to make sure there were no teething issues. It works fine. Very comfortable to hold. No problems with the lid as others have mentioned. No discernible alien flavours to the water. It pours well without dripping. No leaks. I like the built in cable storage. It boils nice and quickly. I like the lid mechanism, one press and it opens up on a hinge so you don’t have to put the lid down and pick it back up. The only criticism I can make it that the level indicator is where the handle is to it’s hard to see when you’re holding it and filling it at the tap. If you manoeuvre your grip so you can see the water level your then holding it so the lid hides the tap. You can always watch the level as you fill it by looking inside the kettle however I actually use the capacity markings and you can’t see them by looking inside. In all I would have found it perfect if the water level indicator was on the side. I would probably have marked it down 2-4% for that. No where near enough to lose a star for.

This is the fastest kettle I have ever owned, and holds a good family sized quantity. Easy to use and keep clean. Some other reviewers have disliked the beep that signals starting or finishing the boil, and yes it can grate on the ears, but without it I can see that you would often be wrong footed in thinking the kettle was not working or was still heating up – it is that fast – but a simple buzzer on/off function would be welcome. The fill viewing panel is in the most awkward position – under the handle – but I don’t care as this is simply the best kettle I have ever had.

We love this kettle. we bought it about 6 months ago and (as coffee snobs) have enjoyed the security of knowing we’re always pouring the right temperature water over our freshly ground beans. I know it’s tragic, but not sure what else you’d want the temperature control for. The beep is fine, I’ve looked at some other reviews and not sure what the fuss over the beep is all about. If you care about the temperature of the water to within 10 degrees, it’s surely good to have it beep when it gets there!

Never used the “keep warm” function (we don’t drink that much coffee). Also, it’s a good looking kettle, easy to fill and nice to pour. Go on, treat yourself.

I had been on the hunt for a new kettle for about 2 weeks and came across this one. I read a lot of reviews and decided to get it. This was a good decision! My first reaction was ‘oh! It’s a bit big’ but then I remembered how small my other kettle was and that the Bosch one was actually regular sized! It does have a chunkier handle but it’s not awkward at all and is really comfortable and light to hold even with water inside.
I call it the kettle docking station as to me the base section looks like something you might associate with your iPod or something, but this is what makes it look so cool! I mean, what other kettles let you decide what temperature you want your water to boil at?? It also boils super quick and if you’re not in the kitchen keeping watch, there’s a little beep to tell you it’s ready. You can also just keep the water warm once it’s boiled. Honestly, this is the best 40 I’ve spent on a kitchen appliance in a very long time!! If you are looking for a new kettle and can stretch your budget a little bit, I would highly, high recommend this one.
Also, 80 degrees is the best for making a cup of coffee 🙂

an excellent buy and good value for money so easy to operate. best kettle I have had in well over 50 years!! Having the three temperatures is really useful for so many things. haven’t needed the keep warm button yet but good to have there if needed. Don’t find start /ready beep irritating at all.. almost comforting to be told/ or reminded” it’s ready” !!! the only little thing that we have discovered is that if you are very quick off the mark from lifting the kettle to pouring it can pour wider than expected esp on the 100 degree setting.. which could I suppose be a little dangerous in some circumstances . I have poured partially beyond the straight mug onto the surface a couple of times.. I soon adjusted and don’t have to think about it now. I wouldn’t swap this kettle for any other. .. have only been using it a few weeks .. we’ll see how it stand up to use over time.

I love the design, the fact that the outside of the kettle doesn’t get hot, the ability to warm water to different temperatures and that it can be cleaned easily. It’s a very easy kettle to use, sturdy and easy to handle especially when filling a hotwater bottle – there is no spillage or water dribbling down the kettle.
The lid does sometimes stick when pressing the button to open it but that could be a safety measure not opening whilst the kettle is hot. However this is easily over come by pushing the lid at the spout area gently and then pressing the opening button. So overall a great kettle definitely worth the money. Best kettle I’ve ever bought.

Typically Bosch, this kettle is well made and works perfectly. Other reviewers have commented on the loudness of the on/off beep. I have not found the sound to be too loud and it is a very useful function, as is the ability to select the temperature of the water and to keep the water at or near the desired temperature.
The lid is easy to open and the kettle pours well. The small drain holes in the base are explained in the instruction manual as well as the need to regularly de-scale the kettle, (Bosch recommend white vinegar), to keep the heat sensor functioning.
So, it’s a reasonably expensive kettle that works well.

I bought this after reading the great reviews it had received. It arrived very quickly – I ordered it on a Monday evening and it came on Wednesday morning! It looks great and works very well, boiling water very quickly. The loud beeps at start and finish are a bit disconcerting at first and I don’t know why I need a beep when I put it on. The beep at the end is very handy though if you are out of the room. There is a small issue with the water gauge as the handle obscures it slightly but if you hold it at the right angle its not a problem. I am using the different temperatures, 90 for coffee and 80 for my hot water bottle – perfect. It looks like a solid piece of kit but only time will tell as most kettles don’t pass the longevity test.
