Bosch TWK7203GB Sky Kettle Review

The Bosch TWK7203GB Sky Kettle is a kettle with its primary focus on temperature management. It achieves this in two ways. Firstly, it has four temperature options, namely 70C, 80C, 90C and 100C. Secondly, it has a keep warm function which maintains the water's temperature for up to 30 minutes.

On top of this, the Sky Kettle has many of the usual features associated with modern kettles such as a water level indicator, a push button lid, a 360 degree base, and more.

Design

The design is in classic Bosch style. The body of the kettle is slim and sleek. There are a number of areas with shiny black plastic, making the kettle look smart. The handle is at a 90 degree angle and does not form a complete loop, giving the kettle a modern look.

The interior is made from stainless steel, as pictured below:

Specification

In further detail, the Sky Kettle has the following features:

• Capacity - 1.7 Litres, which is about 6-7 cups.
• Dimensions - 25cm x 24cm x 23cm.
• Temperature Control - As mentioned above, there are four temperature settings. These are 70C, 80C, 90C and 100C. These are particularly useful, as tea and coffee have different optimal temperatures.
• Keep Warm Function - In addition to the clever temperature control, the kettle features a "keep warm function". This essentially keeps the water at the designated temperature for up to 30 minutes.
• Water Level Indicator - There's a water gauge under the handle. The markings are as follows: 0.3L (minimum), 0.5L, 1.0L, 1.5L, 1.7L (maximum).
• Safety Locking Lid - The lid has a safety locking mechanism for added safety.
• Automatic Switch Off - When the kettle has finished boiling, it will automatically shut itself off.
• Lift Off - When the kettle is lifted from the base, it will switch off.
• Cleaning - The lid has a large opening to allow for easy cleaning.
• Ready Signal - When the kettle is ready, it will emit an acoustic signal.

360 Degree Base

The kettle has a 360 degree base, which allows the kettle to be placed at any angle on it. This is particularly useful if the kettle is in constant use. Essentially, the kettle can be picked up from the base and placed down again with ease.

The base has non-slip feet to stop sliding.

Water Filter

Inside the spout there's a removable and washable limescale filter. By reducing the amount of limescale leaving the kettle, your drink will both look and taste better.

Push Button Flip Lid

The lid is controlled by a button on the corner of the handle, as seen in the below picture. It allows you to conveniently fill up the kettle.

Summary

To reiterate, the Bosch TWK7203GB Sky Kettle is geared towards people who wish to have more control over the temperature of their drinks. We particularly like the "keep warm function" which maintains the water at the desired temperature for up to 30 minutes. This kettle would definitely suit a modern kitchen or office. We rate the Sky Kettle 4.5 out of 5 stars.
