2 year update: This kettle worked well for 2 years as we used the variable temperature feature for teas. It took up a lot of work surface area. At 18 months we we had to press the temperature buttons multiple times At 20 months we had to press the boiling button 20 times At 24 months / 2 years this Bosch kettle will only boil if you stand over it and press it over 20 times. I've let Bosch know and guess what? nothing.

Packed up after 10 months. No good for an expensive kettle

Cannot recommend this kettle as there is an issue with the temperature setting feature. I have had two kettles and both have developed the same fault. It works perfectly for a few weeks, but then the temperature setting feature develops a fault. If you set the temperature anywhere between 80 and 100 degrees, the kettle will always stop heating at 80 degrees and has to be restarted. The dial still continues up to the set temperature before dropping back, but the heating has stopped. Have tried using a descaler, but that makes no difference. Very disappointing for such an expensive item.

Very pleased with this kettle, easy to use and pours without spilling. Slightly noisier than our old one but okay. Instructions say to use white vinegar in first boiling set up, it would be useful to know this when ordering so customers are prepared

I bought this because it's a Bosch! It has a great feature that allows you to set the temperature that the watter will heat up to - great for those of us that like tea - which tastes better at around 80degrees rather than boiling the water. It also looks great and is well!

I am thoroughly impressed with its performance and features. Firstly, the temperature selector is an absolute game-changer. It allows me to choose the perfect water temperature for different beverages, ensuring that I get the best taste and flavor every time. The kettle is incredibly easy to use. The temperature selector is clearly labeled, making it simple to adjust the temperature to my desired setting. The kettle heats up quickly, and I love that it has multiple temperature options ranging from 70°C to boiling. It's perfect for making a variety of hot drinks, whether it's a delicate herbal tea or a strong cup of coffee. The build quality of the kettle is top-notch. It feels sturdy and durable, and the stainless steel finish gives it a sleek and modern look. The handle is comfortable to hold, and the lid opens smoothly with a push of a button. One feature that I particularly appreciate is the keep-warm function. It allows me to maintain the desired temperature for up to 30 minutes, which is perfect for when I want to enjoy a second cup of tea without having to reheat the water. In terms of safety, the kettle has a boil-dry protection feature, which automatically switches off the kettle if it detects that there is no water inside. This gives me peace of mind and prevents any potential accidents. It not only looks great on my kitchen countertop but also performs exceptionally well!

Great kettle. Brings water to the "programmed" temperature quickly and accurately. Turns off very quickly once water is boiling. Minimum plastic in contact with boiling water. Not cheap but definitely the best kettle I have ever owned.

Brilliant! Different heat settings for various types of drinks and also stay hot setting which is ideal for anyone who likes to several hot drinks
