good kettle... Sent: 19 December 2008
At last a kettle that is working well and with a simple elegant design that doesn't have fancy extra bits that fall off, crack or leak in a few weeks after buying. This kettle doesn't need special cleaning to look good like the stainless steel ones do. I find the filter thing easy to clean (unlike most others I have used). It is pretty quick to boil and not as noisy as some alternatives. My only gripe is that some water pours around the edge of the lid as well as from the spout.
Top quality kettle Sent: 15 September 2008
I bought this mainly because I'd seen many kettles with broken filters and this one has a metal filter. Add to that the facts that it's Bosch, smart, rapid, has a concealed element and a gauge, and it was an easy decision. Actually got it from John Lewis (the only stockist at the time) for a similar price. A couple of years on and it's still going strong.
If you live in a hard water area (like Cambridge), descale monthly with vinegar (don't use chemicals, they're not nice and will degrade the materials in the kettle over time - if Bosch recommend vinegar over shop-bought descaler, why waste your money): fill kettle with water, boil, add a cup of white vinegar, leave for a few hours/overnight (soak the filter in vinegar at the same time); in the morning, fill with fresh water, boil, discard and you're away.
The single and minor gripe is that the gauge isn't very clear and sometimes doesn't work (air bubbles), but that's it.
This item has renewed my faith in German engineering!
