Bosch build a great-looking kettle, gracing any kitchen counter-top. We were really pleased with the design and the function of this kettle - easy to pour, boiled quickly, no problems with the metallic taste issue.
But after 18 months, it suddenly started to leak gently at all the seams - a crust of limescale appeared at each seam around the base and either side of the handle. Now it's puddling water from the base, and we're looking for another model.
Wouldn't you expect a kettle to last longer than this?

Edited 3 Jan 2010 - unfortunately, the kettle now looks awful! Over the last six months limescale has gradually built up around the nozzle and other areas (and it is regularly cleaned!) and leaks. Now having to buy a new one and definitely avoiding Bosch.
Original review...
Overall, a good kettle. No problem with metallic water that earlier reviewers had, so it looks like that's been solved.
Points for:
- It's a good looking kettle (subjective).
- Despite looking like it might not fill from the spout (and despite not filling from the spout the first time I tried), it does fill from the spout fine.
- Boils fast (although I'm comparing it to a 6 year old Kenwood here).
- Price.
Points against:
- There's no float in the level guage, making it hard to read.
- The lid only opens 25% when you press the button, meaning that you have to open it manually to fill etc.
- You have to shut the lid manually, although to be fair we couldn't find a single steel kettle that had a lid that could be opened *and* shut using the button.
- Some steam escapes from around the lid and some of that condenses on the top of the lid. Still, we think it's acceptable (and we'd previously returned a Bellini kettle for just this reason).

Whilst this kettle is stylish, boils quickly, and is easy to use, there seems to be something of a design fault...it leaks after a short time.
Looking at other reviews on this website and others, this seems to be a common fault.
if you want a kettle that will last you a good few years (and why shouldn't it?), I would suggest you buy something else.
However, if you don't mind spending around £40 for a kettle that you will have to throw away in about 18 months, then you might as well go for this one.
Please note that Bosch do not appear to be willing to recognise this fault and are not willing to replace faulty kettles.

OK for few months then started leaking
I loved this kettle when I first bought it. Really stylish. But after less than 6 months it started leaking badly from the seams around the water guage. Read more

Awful product.
After countless attempts to clean the interior of the kettle (as per instructions), it proved impossible to get rid of the foul chemical taste that tainted every drink. Read more

Leaks
I didn't pay anything like full price, but still... One hopes for better from a German brand. As others have said, it leaks, especially when full. Read more

Expensive failure
Similar story to many others here. Nice kettle if a little noisy and expensive by comparison to others on the market. Read more

Short life but fine when it didn't leak
We were happy with this kettle when we first starting using it. It looks good and we felt (wrongly) that being a Bosch it would continue performing well for a long time. Read more

Fine but nothing special
Kettle's fine but didn't live up to my expectations. Was looking for a quiet kettle that switched off as soon as it boiled - according to Which reviews this was the one to get. Read more
