Wollte einen Wasserkocher mit Edelstahlinnenleben, nicht nur mit Metallheizplatte. Leider wurde man in der Produktbeschreibung nicht darauf aufmerksam gemacht. Für ein Plastikinnenleben ist er aber zu teuer. Auch wenn er so schön aussieht. Also unbenutzt wieder auf die Heimreise geschickt und doch zum WMF gegriffen Read more

I very recently purchased a similarly styled Philips kettle that I felt, after a few tests, was unreasonably slow to boil and a little noisy so exchanged it for this model at just a few pounds more. I'm pleased I did. This Bosch not only looks a little more purposeful with its less curvy profile but with its 3000w power it boils a 1.7L max load a full two and a half minutes quicker than the Philips and was noticeably quieter and quicker to cut-off when reaching a boil too. It will boil 0.5L (e.g. two normal mugs) from cold to cut-off in an average 1 minute 25 seconds which I can easily tolerate. Other points of note: As other reviews have mentioned the lid pops up to almost exactly 60 degrees (by design I believe) but can be easily pulled open to its full 90 degrees even when the kettle is hot. I didn't find it a problem filling with the lid popped at 60 and didn't need to tilt it much past vertical but whether this affects you will probably depend on your taps. The pour is amazingly smooth and drip free however much water is in the kettle. The charging base feels a little lightweight but the rubber feet grip well on smooth surfaces so the base doesn't move around when placing the kettle on it. The flex is 70cm from edge of base to the bottom of the moulded plug and, whilst initially quite stiff from being wrapped around the base whilst packaged, it is already losing its kinks. As with most kettles with a fill guage behind the handle it's less convenient to see than a side mounted fill guage (when filling) but, when it's on the base, it's fairly easy to spot whether there's enough water in the kettle for a re-boil without the need to pick it up. Realistically I barely use the fill guage anyway so this makes little difference to me and having it "hidden" behind the handle makes for a visually sleeker look than on display on the side of the kettle. This kettle is available in a "plus" version that does have a side mounted fill guage for a few extra pounds but I didn't think the extra was worth it. I followed the setup instructions by boiling with a tbsp of vinegar and then boiling clean and fully rinsing afterwards but there was still initially a feint metallic tange of "new electronics". This went away after a few further boils. Amazon exchange process was quick and easy. Read more

Very happy with this item. It's turned out to be so much better than expected - it's fast to boil and so much quieter than my old jug kettle . PROS o Quick coming to the boil o Considerably quieter than most kettles, and I've had a few over the years! o Temperature selection controls - heating the water to 70° or 80° is, of course, much quicker with 80° being recommended for instant coffee. Very easy to use and the indicators also show the water temperatures increasing as the unit comes to the boil. o Being double skinned this kettle keeps any leftover water warm for quite a while further adding to the time (and money) saved when the next cuppa is needed... in our house that is pretty frequent! o Attractive on the counter o Robust build quality from a reputable company. Bosch products are always pretty good. o Reasonably priced CONS o It's a little on the heavy side and larger than my old standard size jug kettle. Wouldn't suit someone frail. o Many reviewers find the beeps at the start and finish a little intrusive but they are at a similar volume to other beepy things we have in our homes - cookers, washing machines etc. The beeps can't be silenced, unfortunately, so if this is an issue for you then you might want to think carefully about this item. We don't find them a problem. Overall I am happy to recommend this kettle! Read more
