Bosch TWK 8611

Advantages: Beautiful, stylish, easy to use. Quiet when boiling, keeps the set temperature for 30 minutes.

Disadvantages: I don’t know whose idea it was to build a beep into the kettle - but this is real evil! Plus it's LOUD !!! As a result, after a week of use, spitting on the guarantee, disassembled the kettle and filled this beeper with glue. Now there is sound, but very quiet.

Comment: Having disassembled the kettle, I can say that it should last a long time because there is nothing to break there.

Advantages: It is a pleasure to use this kettle. Good build quality. Double walls for heat preservation (this is a thermos kettle) and noise reduction (power-2.4 kW and air bubbles collapse louder than 2.0). Beautiful smooth plastic of the bottom half on the outside and bottom, black matte plastic inside. Polished stainless steel upper on the outside with a hollowed-out BOSCH nameplate (just a beauty trim). Wide neck - you can put any hand in, but it is better not to climb with your hands with your hands - citric acid several times in a row in the same solution and that's it. All manufacturers now specifically make all models with a small throat. The lid with a button opens to a decent 60-70 degrees, enough to pour water from the tap or from any jug, the spring opens the lid completely. Inside the lid, at the joints with the body, there are silicone gaskets so that steam does not escape. When boiling, steam comes out only from the spout. There is not a single button / display on the body of the kettle, which in theory will increase reliability. Anti-scale filter made of stainless steel, fits snugly in place, fine mesh. The water level scale is large. The handle is rubberized at the bottom (this is real rubber - not SoftTouch plastic). The handle can be taken both by the base and by the handle itself, which is pleasant to the touch. There is a seal under the handle on a metal plate so as not to burn yourself. The case heats up very little - even a child will not get burned. Load element in the entire bottom which will help to heat faster over the entire area and reduce noise compared to small plates. Beautiful stand with buttons and light indications: on / off; - / + (70,80,90,100-default); support for tempera. When turned on and after boiling, a squeak is heard - you will not miss it (Phillips with a call began to quietly call almost immediately). The beeper is not very loud, but sufficient. The teapot can be placed on the stand at an angle without vertically aligning too much.The spout is comfortable, does not spill a drop, allows you to pour water from the tap without opening the lid. Auto shut-off when lifting 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 many horrors. Made in China. The window for the level at the back under the handle, who pours from the tap is not very convenient, but if it is from a filter jug. Inside, the risks of the maximum and minimum are made convex, but it is unrealistic to see. Doubtful drawback: the volume is 1.5, not 1.7, although this glass of water is super important for someone. Moreover, there is still a lot of space inside, but you cannot pour the risk, as in any kettle it can splash and not turn off. In revision 01, i.e. TWK8611 / 01 and TWK8613 / 02 have a jamb with a lid - if the kettle is hot, then opening the lid with the button often does not work, sometimes it helps if you press the very edge of the button, closer to the handle and raise your hand sharply. And the majority stupidly pry off the nose with a finger and are generally perplexed that this is a jamb - they just got used to it. Either it is because of the silicone gasket, or because of what (the gasket completely covers the lid and if you turn the kettle over, then the water runs only from the spout, i.e. complete sealing - maybe it sticks from the steam). The good news is that now only teapots of the second revision TWK8611 / 02 and 8613/02 are on sale and they do not have a jamb with a lid, now the button is pressed differently, more smoothly, or something, and you need to close the lid more tightly. Relatives will test further revision 2, maybe the jamb will appear later. TWK 8613 looks unrealistically chic: black mirror-like plastic under varnish, metal plate is much more harmonious with black than 8611 with white. In 8613, the handle is the same black, but you have to pay for it - handprints and dirt are visible much more strongly than on white 8611

Comment: After reading reviews, there is no choice - this is the best teapot with the maximum rating. I wanted to buy a 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 was with Vitka and Binaton. The kettle is specially made with plastic inside so that it does not cool down quickly, to keep the body clean and not scald. In metal teapots, the opposite is true: the metal heats up to 100 degrees; extremely easily soiled, difficult to wash and stains remain; since the thermal conductivity of the metal is large, then the water temperature decreases rapidly; funny that for teapots you can use only stainless steel, and not Chinese alloys, are you sure that there is a stainless steel? to some even the magnet does not magnet. 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 out near the bottom, it is better not to touch it with your hands and generally not to clean the kettle from the inside with your hands. The temperature selection function allows you to heat already boiled water, because the water cannot be boiled the second time (heavy salts). It will appeal to those who do not want to wait long for the tea to cool down. The cord can be pulled out in three directions. The stand has rubberized feet. Never use descaling agents - they can dissolve plastic, especially since there are many different ones, and what good is not clear. Citric acid, vinegar and soda will help you. About noise, we can say that those people who say that it is noisy used to use exclusively old teapots with a spiral. All flat-bottomed kettles are noisy, especially the more powerful models, and this one is quieter than anything I've heard: quieter than a metal Phillips and Elenberg and quieter than a 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 condensation forms in me, I do not have it. It's just that when you pour water, it starts to drain along the outer walls and gets stuck in the place where the iron transitions to plastic, so "condensate" - pour from the jug / filter

Advantages: Nice appearance. Simple controls. Boils quickly.

Disadvantages: First: Literally after a week of use, the lid stopped opening by pressing a button. I have to help her a little by pressing the open button with my thumb and moving the index edge of the cover, where the latch is located. When the kettle has just boiled, it is not a pleasant occupation. Second: Despite the small volume of the water tank, the kettle looks larger than it seemed in the picture; the platform on which it is installed also adds dimensions. The monster is shorter.

Comment: In general, the model is normal, we'll wait and see, the main thing is that it works, while it seems to work in this regard. The truth is still not used to its size. Well, it's a shame for the lid - I have never had a kettle with a convenient and reliable closing / opening of the lid.

Advantages: All advantages are listed in previous reviews: quiet, beautiful, informative, keeps warm for a long time, etc.

Disadvantages: There is a significant drawback, it is a beep that sounds when the kettle is turned on and off. Firstly, this is a nasty squeak, and secondly, it is very loud, if you live in a small apartment, be sure that the child in the room will wake up from such a squeak. On the day of purchase, I disassembled the case of the "docking station", found a squeaker on the board (a black cylinder with a hole with a membrane inside) and successfully poured super-glue into this hole))) For greater reliability, I sealed this hole with adhesive tape. Collected everything back, now squeaks gently))) P.S. If anyone wants to disassemble and do the same, here are some tips - the "horned screwdriver" tool. You can make it out of a regular screwdriver by making a cut in it in the middle with a small file. You need to unscrew 4 screws, 2 of which are under the rubber supports, they are pulled out using narrow pliers, then they are calmly put in place during assembly. After unscrewing 4 screws, the hardest part will be the latches! To open the case, under the front panel there are 3 rectangular holes into which you need to push something sharp and squeeze the latches, one after the other, after you squeeze the front part, the rest will go like clockwork))) in any case, do not push anything metal into the slot of the case, traces will remain on the plastic, then it will not be beautiful. Hope it helped someone!

Comment: Great kettle in need of a little modernization.

Advantages: Good plastic, no smell! Solid firm of contacts Strix! probably the best that is installed on top models. The idea of ​​control on the base is much more reliable than everything in the handle of the kettle itself. Not a standard interesting design. Heating signal, otherwise you are often distracted and, after boiling the kettle, you forget to brew tea.) Fast heating! The sense of opening is completely different! Not like in many kettles due to the pressure of boiling vapors, but due to the thermostat! I think this is a significant progress affecting accuracy, durability and reliability! After all, now the kettle can turn off and not with the lid closed. There used to be a problem, if the lid is not closed tightly, it will boil until "victorious" until it knocks out the button. Support of the set water temperature. Large water level window. Correct spout (water never drips or runs off). The double walls of the teapot allow safe handling and retain heat for a long time like a thermos Because of this, it looks like three liters, but in reality the standard is 1.5 liters !!!!!! The handle with plastic under the rubberized surface does not slip in the hand even if the brush is wet.Great cover !!! The point in it is that it opens easily and, most importantly, does not let air through! And this means that a stream of boiling water will never splash out of the kettle due to carelessness, but will slowly pour !!! Super!!! A REALLY good, thoughtful THING!

Disadvantages: 1. There is no memory of the set modes. 2. The sound signal does not turn off, to drink tea at night, it is fraught with the convocation of the family for buns. The problem is solved by removing the base cover and sticking the speaker (yes at least with chewing gum) to reduce the sound or even solder it out of the circuit. 3. The maintenance of the set water temperature is dropped when the kettle is removed, although it may be correct to anyone. 4. Due to the absence of a second water level window, it is dark in the kettle, therefore, you need to look closely to understand how much water is in it.

Comment: With such a huge selection of teapots, the really good selection is not great. The best kettle of all time BRAUN WK 210 certainly boiled off for 8 years with dignity, but this Bosh, I'm sure will work no less !!! We click like and happy shopping!

Advantages: Just a nice kettle. It boils quickly and quietly. Easy to clean - no sipes a la sip, which most teapots are ill with. The outside is not hot after boiling. There is a temperature setting and a temperature maintenance function.

Disadvantages: At first, the lid smelled a little of plastic. After a few days, the smell disappeared. The squeaker is tin! The logic of work is crooked, with any removal of the kettle, everything returns to the initial settings, the function of maintaining the temperature is reset. Although it is understandable that all this is done for security reasons.

Comment: Much has already been written about the buzzer, there is no point in trying to understand what the bosch engineers were thinking. I'll write how easy it is to shut her mouth. There are 4 screws on the bottom, two of them are hidden under the rubber feet. The slots are non-standard, but now such screwdrivers are easy to find or you can make yourself from an old soft screwdriver using a file. Open it and look for a black cylinder about 8-10 mm in diameter with a small hole on top. We push dental floss or tap floss into this hole with a toothpick to seal the thread. I think even chewing gum can be stuffed. :-) You can shove a lot, strongly and boldly - this is not a speaker with a membrane, there is a metal resonator. The more and tighter we fill, the quieter the buzzer will be. You can taste the sound before closing the case. You can still close up the top with electrical tape. Putting it back together. Enjoy exquisite quiet beeping in space fantasy style! :-) I think the kettle of your money is worth it.

Advantages: Temperature selection function, appearance, soundly made.

Disadvantages: No.

Comment: The kettle is almost 1 year old. I liked white, but black is more practical. I chose a kettle with buttons on the docking station, and not on the handle - it seems to me that this is more reliable. Boils fast enough. Used the heating function 1 time - it works. We often use heating up to 90 °. There are no complaints about the quality of workmanship. Made soundly! I descaled it 2 times - a sachet of citric acid and inside like new. With regards to the sound notification. Gentlemen, dissatisfied, is there a kettle in your bedroom on the nightstand? The sound is loud when you are near him in the kitchen, but not to the point that he engages in suicidal behavior in you. We are happy with this model and its functionality!

Advantages: The teapot has a pleasant design, a strict white cylinder with an aluminum edging on top. It looks strict and fresh. Comfortable handle, rubberized on the inside. A very useful feature is heating to a certain temperature. You can choose 90, 80 and 70 degrees. Having got used to it, you can make yourself a drink in a hurry in the morning so as not to waste time waiting until it cools down. For example, I put it on 80, brewed coffee, added cream from the refrigerator - and the temperature is just optimal, you can drink it right away.Unusually, there is almost no scale on the heating disc, we use it for about one and a half years. What is the reason - I do not know, the water after Aquaphor.

Disadvantages: The lid is already slightly sticking, you have to pry it with your hand a little. Beeps when switching on and off. Moreover, the sound is very loud, you cannot turn it off or turn it down. But if it really interferes - you can!

Comment: How to reduce sound on Bosch TWK 8613? Many have already written about this, it is not difficult, you need straight hands and accuracy. We disassemble the base by unscrewing four screws for a horned screwdriver and then we need to squeeze three latches in succession from the bottom of the base. There is a small cylinder of a piezoelectric emitter on the board (with this tweeter). You can seal the hole with thick foam double-sided tape - it will be much quieter. This seemed to me not enough - I pasted it over from all sides, and filled the hole with instant glue. Now the squeak is barely audible

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

Disadvantages: The cable is really short, it ends up near the outlet

Comment: The sound signal, which is written about in almost every review, in this model at a standard volume, is even quieter than some. Most likely, the manufacturer began to reduce the volume in the last batches. If, after all the reviews, there were doubts only on this point (as, for example, I had before buying) - feel free to take it!

Advantages: The choice of temperature, the quality of materials, the absence of specific odors.

Disadvantages: Did not reveal

Comment: The kettle was excellent, until the old grandmother put it on the gas burner.
