Bosch TWK 1201N

Advantages: I have been using the kettle for over 2 years. I took one home, one to work. At work, he plows almost without interruption - 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, uses at least 8 people. And working. Full metal flask nothing to leak, large lid easy to clean, shutdown when removed from stand, very reliable.

Disadvantages: An open metal surface is easy to burn, a large lid does not fit well over time, when it is full, it spills past the cup, due to a wide spout. At work, the plastic of the lid began to peel off, possibly due to additives in the water (we use the water from the cooler) and crazy operation (at least 50 boils per day).

Comment: An excellent kettle for its money, with careful use it will last a very long time.

Advantages: After a thorough examination of about 300 teapots of different models and firms, I can say with full responsibility that this is the only teapot on the market that does not have internal joints. It is actually MACHINED from stainless steel on a lathe (you can see it). You look inside - and there is nothing there, an ordinary flat bottom like a saucepan. So, by purchasing this kettle, you will forever solve the problem with boiling water. It will never leak or burn out. In addition, the Germans managed to come up with some secret method of polishing steel: the outside of the teapot is absolutely mirrored, but at the same time it is ABSOLUTELY not getting dirty from dirty fingers. Wonders. Of course, the all-metal kettle is also a huge plus in terms of the quality of the prepared water: you can forget about the smell of melted plastic forever. Huge filler neck - you won't miss, no matter what you pour. Of course, it was not without the automatic shutdown of the toggle switch when removed from the stand - this prevents the contacts from being burned and significantly increases their durability. (Although it's better to get into the habit of first turning off and then removing the kettle). Well, the nose. At first I was very afraid that it was not pronounced enough, and the water would flow past the cup. However, the miracle polishing helps out here too: since the outer side is not wetted with water, a barely noticeable protrusion as a spout is quite enough - even when the angle between the jet and the kettle wall is only a couple of degrees, water does not even think of sticking to the wall and flowing along it to table.

Disadvantages: Power! Power! .. All kettles on the market have a minimum of 2 kW, many have 2.4 kW, there are even several kettles of 3 kW (!). And here - 1.8. It takes 7 minutes to boil. Lot. Although, on the other hand, such power allows you not to worry about frail wiring. There is no water indicator. (Personally, this is exactly what I need. _To_n’t_was_indicator_). You can always open the lid and look inside. In extreme cases, the protection system will be activated from being turned on without water. The metal case, in addition to its advantages, has one drawback: very high heat dissipation. After a few minutes, the water starts to cool down. And, of course, there is a good risk of getting burned. No limescale filter. I don't give a damn about that, becauseI live in St. Petersburg (water hardness is about 15 times less than in Moscow). Well, the design. If I made myself a teapot from steel ingots on a lathe, it would look like this. But it's me! And Bosch? .. Could have been prettier and more prettier, why is there ... At least some other model, with essentially the same flask but more expensive ...

Comment: This kettle has been produced by Bosch for over 10 years. For the life of me, I absolutely do not understand why competitors have not yet released anything like this.

Advantages: 1. Adequate price (1250 rubles in 2013); 2. No smell and no leaks (one-piece metal flask, excluding the lid); 3. Boils quickly for its power (1800 W); 4. Good assembly, lack of lurid inserts and patterns; 5. The presence of REALLY necessary "bells and whistles": 360-degree rotation, auto shut-off (when boiling, in the absence of water, when removed from the stand), on indicator; 6. It is very convenient to pour water - nothing interferes, the lid is fixed in the open position, the neck of the flask is very wide (15 cm); 7. In reality, nothing leaks when pouring, although the spout is small, it does its job perfectly; 8. Closed spiral.

Disadvantages: 1. Unusual "pan" design; 2. A bit noisy at work, like all metal kettles (if you live in a hostel or in a communal apartment and are afraid to wake up sleeping neighbors or family members in the morning, then you should look quieter); 3. Short cord (65 cm); 4. It does not turn off instantly when boiling (8-15 s, depending on the volume of water poured); 5. Flimsy fastening of the lid, requires accuracy, people with Valuev's complexion or in the morning with a hangover can be broken; 6. The lid locking function makes it difficult to open it with one hand, but you can adjust; 7. Outside, there is no level of poured water - the marks are marked on the inside of the teapot wall; 8. Outside, on the polishing traces of drops, etc. remain, so that for sophisticated aesthetes and purity maniacs there is extra work to wipe the case; 9. There is no filter, although in my opinion this is an absolutely unnecessary thing, unless you boil water from a river. 10. To turn on the kettle, the pedal must be lifted up (this is certainly not a drawback, just a matter of habit, it may strain someone); 11. The bulb heats up during operation, but during normal handling it is unlikely to get burned, after turning off the bulb cools down quickly. 12. Condensation accumulates on the lid, some of which flows into the kettle (when the lid is opened).

Comment: All of these shortcomings are of an uncritical nature and for those who need a reliable, plastic-smelling kettle without unnecessary bells and whistles (such as an LCD screen and color-changing drawings) this model is very good. In my opinion, the terrible comments encountered are connected with the fact that you can run into a fake Kulibin from China or the "creativity" of our retail chains (such as equipment after repair under the guise of new). Be more vigilant when buying, do not show your ignorance in the technique, if there is one, if the technique has visible flaws, do not listen to the sellers (like they are all like that) - look elsewhere. Yandex Market to help you!

Advantages: It is quite a convenient and durable thing I have been using it for two years, no problems in the form of scale were observed (you just probably need not pour water "from the tap", there will be less "scale" for some), therefore, a filter from scale in the form of moronic strainers a la plastic models are not necessary here. For superfluous. There is a scale with a level, you just need to look inside the flask - there will be an engraving of half a liter, a liter, and a half. Isn't it a scale? So there are no contradictions here either. External indication simply cannot be due to a completely metal bulb. But there will be no leaks. Steam also does not escape much, only if you take the handles by the very top - then there is a possibility, and so - Bosch is not to blame :) Before that, he used plastic reputable firms like - with all the consequences, smells, burned in vain, leaks, etc. , not one lived for more than six months, then one, then the second ...Take it, very good kettle

Disadvantages: not noticed

Comment: It boils quickly enough, makes no more noise than others, the price is adequate. The kettle must boil water, this model copes with this task with a bang, who is interested in gadgets in the form of lights, calls, timers, and other rubbish - of course you can turn your gaze to other models, but be prepared for the fact that the more sophisticated model is faster it will fall apart

Advantages: An all-metal vessel that will never leak.

Disadvantages: Low power. A rather tricky and not very convenient mechanism for opening the lid. A little steam burns your wrist when you pour boiling water into a cup.

Comment: For good, all the flaws can be tolerated. The benefits outweigh.

Advantages: 1. The water in this kettle does not come into contact with plastic at all, and therefore no harmful compounds get into the water. 2. There are no windows, lights and other elements through which the kettle can leak. Only a steel flask and an engraved scale on the inside of the flask. 3. Price with such a well-known brand.

Disadvantages: 1. A fairly simple design, it would be possible to make a taller and more interesting version. But I did not find such teapots with an all-metal flask :(.

Comment: Even the best plastic or plastic will sooner or later release harmful compounds when it heats up. When choosing a kettle, I tried to choose a kettle that would be as environmentally friendly and reliable as possible, and would preserve the health of me and my family as much as possible.

Advantages: Incredible reliability.

Disadvantages: It can burn with steam from under the lid if taken carelessly.

Comment: My Bosch regularly boils my water, almost every day for over 10 years !!! He is the oldest household appliance at home, I have known him longer than my wife.

Advantages: All-metal stainless steel flask! Overheating protection, auto shutdown when turned on without water! Comfortable, super robust platform.

Disadvantages: After several years of operation, the plastic of the cover turns yellow and becomes more fragile. On two teapots, after about 5 years of operation, it began to turn off a little without bringing to a boil, re-turning on immediately solves the issue. There are no more cons.

Comment: KETTLE # 1 !!! A UNIQUE OFFER ON THE MARKET, THERE ARE NO ANALOGUES! I bought my first TVK1201 about 10 years ago, in 2009. Over the years, this teapot was bought by all close relatives, parents, grandfathers, grandmothers to replace the thrown out harmful plastic and pseudo safe glass (but with glued bottom) or supposedly metal, but with plastic windows and glued bottom of misunderstandings. I will repeat the all-metal stainless steel flask, there are no analogues! Shl bought myself a second one for the dacha, as well as a 10-year-old hard worker in the frame!

Advantages: Nothing extra, compact, modern design

Disadvantages: No mesh filter., Noisy when boiling

Comment: Fully metal bowl - you can cook DUMPLINGS !!! Because. no grid, you can doze one dumpling at a time, which is especially important in student years. Can be used as a mug !!!!

Advantages: Simple, Reliable, Metallic

Disadvantages: no

Comment: excellent price quality, reliable second such teapot has already been bought, the first one worked for several years in the office.
