Styline TWK8631GB Variable Temperature Cordless Kettle, 1.5 litres,3000W - White

Was going to get the Ninja kettle, so glad that I compaired it with the bosch. The weight is perfect for weak wrists and hands. It is built for quality, and the capacity level is brilliant. The temperature control really does make a big difference. It is a very expensive looking kettle, I will be buying another one very soon. It also has a stay hot feature, it's a very clever and money saving kettle.

I had a previous version of this kettle - which got lost in a house move. I got a cheap replacement which was just awful and so back to Bosch. I returned the one Amazon sent - as despite being described as new it had small dents in the metal section. The new one I bought since is lovely, in white with a white handle and base unit. Very smart. It’s true that the water level is slightly difficult to read initially but you can soon work it out. I like that the lid opens. with a switch on the handle - you can easily fill it too via the wide metal spout. It boils very quickly and I think is quieter than my old Bosch kettle. The kettle switches on via the base unit and you select the temperature there too. Very easy and intuitive. Nice beep when it’s boiled - just the right level of loudness to alert you without being annoyingly too loud. Not too much steam produced when it boils which is also a plus - will be useful in winter in my current badly ventilated kitchen which is prone to condensation. I have a lot of Bosch appliances in my home because they are good quality and last.

The media could not be loaded. So far this is the best kettle I have ever purchased. It has different temperature settings from 70 to 100 degrees which is really easy and obvious to operate on the base. The amazing function of keep warm is really practical as well. The design is good, maybe not as artistic but rather reliable and practical which is superbly German. I would highly recommend this kettle to anyone. Last thing to emphasis, it is much faster than before to give you a boiled water, and it is also quieter than any other kettles I have used before.

It's a kettle.Yes it's fancy with some nicer features than your bog standard fill-up-and-switch-on job.But, it's still a kettle. And as a kettle, it works fabulously.My only gripe is the placement and readability of the water gauge.Why, oh why, would you put the gauge under the handle? Your hand/arm partially obscures the gauge when filling from the tap in the sink. Very poor design, especially from the normally exacting and fastidious Germans!!Also the readability of the gauge is poor, sometimes necessitating you to pick the kettle up and give it a shake to see where the level is, particularly at the lower end of the scale, whereas my old el-cheapo supermarket kettle gauge could be read at a glance from across the room. Again very poor design., not at all typical German quality.Other than that, it's great. The keep warm feature is particularly useful when going to make a cuppa, but also multitasking doing other things, you can set the kettle to boil and then keep warm until you are finally ready to pour.

Great kettle. Temperature selection is simple and water boils nice and quick.The kettle and the base unit are quite chunky-monkeys, so may not be ideal for a super-small kitchen, but hasn't bothered me particularly.Overall, good kettle for the job it's wanted.

I’ve learnt from experience that you get what you pay for with items like this. This is by no means a cheap kettle but it should greatly outlast and outperform cheaper appliances, if my previous experience is anything to go by. It’s therefore a better option in terms of value for money too.My first impression was of a chunky appliance, thanks to the double-wall, insulated design. However, it’s not excessively weighty and looks great. It may be made in China - what isn’t these days - but it oozes quality and feels far more substantial than similar items. I suspect it was designed and built ‘up to a standard’ and not ‘down to a price’.The 3kW power rating means it boils in no time and the minimum water level is less than other kettles I’ve owned. That means it’ll save on water and electricity in the long run for someone like me who mostly heats one cup/mugfull at a time. I'm using it to boil water for tea and heat water to 80C for coffee. It performs both tasks flawlessly.Just buy one; you’ll have no regrets.
