Bosch TWK 8611/8612/8613/8617/8619

Advantages: Qualitatively made, nice and solid looks.
Able to different temperatures
Built-in thermos
Even if there is boiling water inside, the case remains slightly warm. On the one hand, it is good - you will not burn yourself under any circumstances, on the other - you will not understand the hot water in it or not.

Disadvantages: Stupid system of temperature selection (a matter of habit)
Beeps loudly (but not very loudly, used)
Noisy (also used)
Inconvenient pen (already quite comfortable)

Comment: In general, it is quite large. More than my old Phillips 1.7l, for nothing, that he is 1.5.
But most of all I was killed by the temperature selection system. It would seem - everything is logical: turn on, select the temperature and rejoice. But you have to do this every time you turn it on!
I drink mostly green tea and in 90% of cases I need water with a temperature of 70-80 degrees (actually, I bought it for this). And to warm the water to these 70 degrees, I need to press 4 buttons EVERY TIME!
Here is a convenience: instead of one click - four.
He took the kettle off the stand - he immediately forgot about everything. Neither the temperature is maintained, nor the selected temperature.
Ancient mechanical regulators and that, in this sense, better!

After using it for about six months, I got used to the teapot. And those disadvantages that I described earlier do not seem to be minuses anymore, so, especially.

Advantages: 1. Stylish design, the kettle looks unusual
2. Modes of heating water and maintaining the temperature is really convenient.

Disadvantages: The cable is really short, in the end it stands near the outlet

Comment: The beep, which is written about in almost every review, in this model, the standard volume, even quieter than some. Most likely the manufacturer in the last installments began to reduce the volume. If, after all the reviews, there were doubts only on this item (like, for example, with me before purchase) - feel free to take it!

Advantages: It works for more than 5 years, cost just over 2 thousand at one time, Soft-touch coating on the handle is pleasant to touch, does not slip, you can choose the temperature or see how cool the water is when it is turned on. Full boil for 3 minutes, oak is the kettle's variant, reliable but stylish at the same time. It is repaired independently with direct hands (see flaws), the household ones washed the stand under a direct water jet, filled the electronics - turned on, turned on several times - did not work, disassembled - dried and for 3 years after that it works. The teapot does not break on its own, saying that it is said that it is flowing - I did not notice, maybe they dropped it, the lid will stick only if it is overgrown with a layer of sticky kitchen dirt, but you need to wash it the same way. The temperature is incorrectly displayed and it boils without turning off a little longer than 3 seconds? - clean the thermal sensor from scum, there its layer is already visible with a finger. Those. deficiencies are often contrived; any kettle requires basic maintenance.The level can be seen how much is left and if there is enough for a couple of mugs, when pouring, you still look inside, you can see when to stop. The volume of 1.5 liters (you can pour and two by the way - there is a place) is not a drawback, a large volume and boil longer, this is not a thermal steam. My rating of this kettle is 4.8, I rounded to 5))

Disadvantages: Households twisted it around the axis setting on the stand, often making a full turn, as a result, a situation arose when the kettle turned on after a second turns off, saw in reviews a similar problem. It is treated this way: we de-energize the stand, with a long and narrow metal object we bend up the power line petals in the plug. It is possible and to disassemble the stand so reliable, but I was lazy. Of the shortcomings, the only noticeable phenomenon for me was the lack of illumination.

Comment: Actually I chose a thermopot, I saw my kettle decided to stop by, look at the reviews and write my own. A good kettle of high-quality materials without extra ponto, in a conservative design, fits perfectly into the kitchen.

Advantages: It is a pleasure to use this kettle.
High-quality assembly.
Double walls for heat preservation (this is a thermos kettle) and noise reduction (2.4 kW and air bubbles collapse louder than 2.0).
Beautiful smooth plastic of the lower half of the outside and bottom, inside the black matte plastic.
Polished stainless steel top on the outside with a slotted BOSCH nameplate (it's just a beauty patch).
A wide neck, you can shove any hand, but in modern teapots it’s better not to climb with citric acid several times in a row in the same solution and that’s all. All manufacturers now specifically make all models with a small throat.
The lid with the button opens at a decent 60-70 degrees, enough to pour water from the tap or from any jug, the spring opens the lid completely. Inside the cover at the joints with the body silicone gaskets so that the steam does not come out. When boiling steam comes only from the spout.
On the body of the kettle there is not a single button / display that will theoretically increase reliability.
Stainless steel scale filter, sits tightly in place, the cell is shallow.
The water level scale is large.
The handle is rubberized underneath (this is real rubber — not SoftTouch plastic). You can take the handle and the base and the handle itself, pleasant to the touch. Under the handle on the met.plate seal to avoid burns.
The case heats up very little, even the child will not burn.
Load an element at the bottom that helps to heat the entire area faster and reduce noise in comparison with small plates.
Beautiful stand with buttons and light symbols: on / off; - / + (70.80,90,100-default); tempera support
When turned on and after boiling, a squeaker is heard — you won't miss it (the phillips with a call began to ring quietly almost immediately). The squeak is not very loud, but sufficient.
Kettle can be put on a stand at an angle, not aligning strongly vertically.
The nose is comfortable, it does not spill a drop, it allows you to pour water from the tap without opening the lid.
Auto power off when raised from the stand.

Disadvantages: The price seems high, but before you think that it is expensive, read about the rest of the teapots, there are a lot of horrors.
Made in China.
The window for the level behind the handle, who pours from the tap is not very convenient, and if from the jug-filter norms.
Inside, the risks of maximum and minimum are made convex, but it is unrealistic to discern.
A dubious drawback: volume 1.5, not 1.7, although for someone this glass of water is super important. Moreover, there is still a lot of space inside, but it is impossible to overflow at risk, as in any teapot it can splash and not turn off.
In revision 01, i.e. TWK8611 / 01 and TWK8613 / 02 have a cant with a lid - if the teapot is hot, then the lid is often not opened with a button, sometimes it helps if you press the button at the very edge closer to the handle and sharply raise your hand. And the majority stupidly hooked a finger from a nose and in general are perplexed that it is a jamb - just got used to it.This is because of the silicone gasket, which is why (the gasket completely covers the lid and if you turn the kettle, the water runs only from the spout, i.e. full sealing - maybe it sticks from steam). The good news is that now only teapots of the second revision TWK8611 / 02 and 8613/02 are sold and there is no jamb with a lid in them, now the button is pressed differently, more smoothly or something, and the lid needs to be stronger - more tightly. Relatives will continue to test 2 revision, maybe the joint will appear later.
TWK 8613 looks unreal chic: black mirror plastic under varnish, metal lining is much more harmonious with black than 8611 with white. In 8613 and the pen is the same black, but for all this you have to pay - handprints and dirt is visible much stronger than on white 8611

Comment: After reading reviews, there is no choice — this is the best kettle with the highest rating. I wanted to buy Czech TWK6xxx, but in the store I found that the iconic Czech models are now China (PRC). In the store the seller said that 30% of the marriage at Vitka and binaton.
The kettle is specially made plastic inside so that it does not cool quickly, to maintain the cleanliness of the body and not to scald. In metal teapots the opposite is true: the metal is heated to 100 hail; extremely branded, it is difficult to launder and stains remain; because thermal conductivity of the metal is large, then the water temperature decreases rapidly; Prikol that for teapots can be used exclusively stainless steel, and not Chinese alloys, but are you sure that there is a stainless steel? to some even the magnet is not magnetised.
If you think that you do not need to maintain the temperature, then you are most likely mistaken, it is very convenient.
An iron thermometer sticks up near the bottom, it’s better not to touch it with your hands and not to clean the kettle from the inside with your hands.
The temperature selection function allows you to warm the already boiled water, because the second time you can not boil the water (heavy salt). Will appeal to those who do not want to wait long for the tea to cool.
The cord can go in three directions. At the stand rubberized legs.
Never use the means of scaling, they can dissolve the plastic, especially since many are different, and what a good thing is not clear. Lemon sour, vinegar and soda to help you.
About the noise, we can say that those people who say that it is noisy used to use only old teapots with a spiral. All flat bottom kettles are noisy, especially the more powerful models, and this one works the quieter than all I heard: quieter than metal phillips and elenberg and quieter phillips with a bell.
If you turn on the kettle, the desired temperature will flash, and the previous ones will light up as it heats up.
Someone writes that a condensate forms, I don't have it. Just when you pour water, it starts to flow along the outer walls and gets stuck in the place where the iron passes to plastic — that's what “condensate” pour from the jug / filter
