2nd Edit:After 5 years we've decided to buy a new kettle. This one still works - no leaks, no electrical issues - however it does take longer to boil, and seems to reach boiling point and keeps going for an extra 10-20 seconds or so before stopping. We figure it's time to get a better one now as we use the kettle so often. I wouldn't pay 30 quid for it as the current price is, but I am surprised by other reviewers' experiences as it doesn't reflect my experience. No worries, this is why we share knowledge so you guys can make a better decision.Edited above the dashed lineI've had this kettle for half a year now and it's still going strong. It's quiet, fast and easy to pour.

We needed a kettle that was fast to boil, easy to fill, had accurate and easy to read filling markings and would not scale up in a hard water area.This Bosch Village Collection kettle looked as though it would fit the requirements and it turns out it has.First of all the lid has a flip up action when you press the button on the top of the handle and is easy to position under a tap or, in our case, fill from a Brita water jug - http://amzn.to/2x29lNM. You can clearly see the fill markings on both sides of the kettle (a bonus for right or left handed people) and these are remarkably accurate - the 2 cup marking fills two mugs exactly and is just right for a small pot of tea.In use the kettle boils pretty quickly - I'm sure there are some that are faster but this is rapid enough for us.

Within recent months, this is the third kettle used. With the first, the plastic portion of its switch fractured and could no longer be used, the handle on the second alarmingly loosened with a few weeks of use and was also the most expensive of any previously purchased by almost £15.This is plastic-bodied with a moulded-in handle so there is nothing to loosen. Empty, it is very light and appears not to be any heavier when half-full. It is also quite stubby without being unduly wide and still holds the common 1.7 litres of water. Its power cord is longer than on some models but still well under 1m in length; if there is an excess, it can be wound into a storage area in the base and reduces the length by about half.

We live in a 200 year old stone cottage and since we've moved in I've always used a well known brand cast iron whistle kettle which cost a fortune but even though it took a while to boil, I just loved it. Unfortunately it has no cup indicator on the side and I can't always judge how much water is going in the kettle and also with the kettle being cast iron it weighs quite a lot which only adds to the miss calculation of how much water is in it. So after many many years of waiting for long periods of time for the kettle to boil and the shock of realising on a good few occasions I'd forgotten to flip the whistle down and walked into a kitchen full of steam,

I'm in mourning. After nearly 5 years of loyal and faithful service, my Bosch is finally showing its age. It's still working, bless its heart, but there's a small leak of water at the base when I lift it off, and that is the usual prelude to gradual decline. Although, nothing has been usual about this kettle. I'd been used to kettles lasting one year, maybe two if lucky, and I thought I'd struck gold when I found the Braun AquaExpress which I think lasted three years. When I came back to Amazon to order another, I found it wasn't available anymore, so I took a punt on its Saxon-sounding cousin in Bosch, and I'm so pleased that I did!We're a household of tea and coffee fanatics and more besides,

I am one of those people who spend a huge amount of time researching before buying things, to make sure I get the best product for my allocated budget. At the time of purchase, this one was £24.99, and while there were cheaper kettles with loads of positive reviews just like this one, I have decided for this kettle from Bosch. And that was due to multiple reasons. The average rating is 4.4 which is one of the highest, and to make sure I get something that's been tested by a lot of people, I only focused on kettles with 500+ reviews. I was eyeing other kettles but some had less than 4 star average rating and that was a little off putting.I have to say that for the first few boils,

Bosch TWK7601GB Village Collection Kettle, 1.7 L - White. Bought in November 2015 for £20.15.My last few kettles have been low-cost supermarket models, and all have had shortcomings. But after a few weeks of use I can't find anything wrong with this one.It's good-looking. It has no internal light but none is needed because of the very clear windows on each side. The power switch does light up.A separate button opens the lid - you don't need two hands for this one. The lid opens very wide making filling easy and giving good access to the filter for cleaning. Filling through the wide spout is also easy and it pours well.It's fairly quiet and boils small or large amounts quickly.

It happens occasionally that a product comes along that is a fraction of the price of its competitors, and better. We had been using one of retro-style, colourful kettles for a while, till it blew our circuit breaker one day, so a replacement was imperative. This was the chosen item - and what a good choice it is proving to be.First of all, it is round and tall. 'So what?' you might ask. Smaller footprint! It takes up less room on the counter. It is less obtrusive. It fits in.Secondly, it feels robust. OK, it's plastic, but everything works with a satisfying click. For example, with our previous kettle it was possible to put a towel or similar down near it and find that it had been inadvertently switched on.

Love this kettle! As I'm a 'Methodical Mary' I researched A LOT before deciding to try this... so don't waste your time; if you like what I have to say and it answers your questions, just buy it and spend your time doing something more worthwhile. ;-)I bought the TWK7603GB to replace a very old Black Bosch Brita Filter kettle that, although working perfectly, had a build-up of limescale around the spout and looked unsightly, as well as being no longer needed as we recently had a Brita Torlan tap fitted.At first I thought it looked a tad cheap and wasn’t 100% sure about the grey trim, but once in the kitchen the kettle looks good and more importantly is great to use.Pros:* Fill level at the front (& back)

I'm reviewing this kettle as I'm looking for a replacement; it has lasted almost exactly 4.5 years. I might well get the same one again, although, like others, I am disappointed that nowadays products don't last long anymore. Before this one I had a Philips kettle which lasted for 6 years but which overall I liked less, and before that, one that lasted over 25 years (am I that old??). I live in a soft water area, so limescale was never a problem. But the limescale filter nevertheless disintegrated relatively soon. The kettle also never leaked or crumbled, as others seem to have experienced.I liked that the kettle is light, boils water very fast, has a one-hand opening mechanism, a 360 degree base,

Purchased from Argos with a 3 year additional warranty, after taking back the latest Breville Illuminating kettle which failed after 2 months. I've been a loyal fan of Breville and saddened the kettle I purchased from Argos November 2015 failed, and was non responsive. For the Bosch, I have got used to the power lever. I miss the illuminator facility as with Breville, but I very much like the lid mechanism on the Bosch which the Breville didn't have. Simply push the button and the lid flips/ springs open. Once you have water and closed the lid, you can lock the lid by pressing the top half of the button. Very nice !!! The water gauge is very visible and was a plus before choosing this.

The kettle was slightly smaller than expected in size but is fine. As mentioned by a few other people the wire is quite short. Perfect for me as it is positioned right next to the plug but if your kettle needs to be more than about 30cm away from a plug socket it will not be long enough.I don't really understand the noise factor that people complain about, it's a kettle, you switch it on, it boils, you would expect to hear it boil, its not continuously boiling so why does the noise of it boiling cause a problem? - Not really understanding this issue at heart I can say, you switch it on, it boils quickly so isn't 'noisy' for long and the sound isn't so deafening I have to move to the other room,

After our kettle of many years broke we had been using a tempory cheap basic kettle from a supermarket which leaked every time you poured it, and a cup of water would pour out of the lid too when it was opened......I didnt want to make an expensive mistake and get a nice looking kettle that wasnt any better.THIS KETTLE is just what I wanted, looks lovely in cream, very glossy and the red switch lights up when its on, it isnt noisy. The lid opens nicely and is deseigned so any condensation goes back into the kettle. It sits on the plate very well and goes on softly.....not with a bump.Its got a good comfortable handle to hold, even when full and pours like a dream,

I wanted a transparent, prefereably glass bodied kettle, I've had 3 different makes/models before and all eventually developed a leak where the glass seals to the base. Checking out all the reviews I failed to find a satisfactory alternative to those I'd tried so after yet mor intensive study of reviews, I settled on this.I've not experienced the slight off-taste to the water some reviewers have mentioned (maybe there are other factors like quality of the water being used, I'm in a soft-water area).It feels like a quality-build and is easy to use, easy to open/close lid with very positive action, pours well, positive illuminated when on switch, fast enough, not unduly noisy,

New buyer review: No plasticky smell in the first cup of tea (regular tea drinker here). There was a strong plastic smell in the kettle on opening the packaging, but I followed the instructions in the manual (1 boil, add vinegar, swish, empty, 2nd boil, swish, empty). Added vinegar to the second boil as well. Did a couple more warm water swishy rinses after that, and let the kettle cool before boiling again. Good from the first cup.The kettle looked oblong in shape in its solitary side profile pic. It's actually ROUND - a cylindrical kettle. And like the partner toaster I purchased with it, it's appealing but wouldn't win any beauty contests. My favourite thing about it is that while the body of the kettle does get hot just after a full boil,
