Bear 4-temperature Control Electric Kettle,300ml Portable Travel Fast Boil Kettle with Keep Warm Function and Storage Bag,Single Touch Control,Double Layer 304 Stainless Steel Lining

I bought this travel kettle mainly for using on travels abroad when hotels and apartments don’t always have a kettle or other water heating facility. It seems that not all countries have the same need for a cup of tea that we have in the UK! This Bear brand kettle is surprisingly compact, being not much larger than an insulated water bottle of the same 300ml capacity. This makes it very portable and I’ve carried it in both small suitcase and rucksack without it taking up very much space. The power lead that comes with it is around 70cm long so is also fairly compact for carrying but a reasonable length when in use. The kettle seems well-made and is robust enough to survive carrying around. It comes with a soft cloth bag which also gives some further protection from scratches and so on. As I wanted this for mainly foreign travel, it was important to me that it would work with various power supplies that are used in different countries. The plug on the lead is a three pin UK plug, so it is necessary to use a travel adaptor to take account of the different plug configurations in most other countries. The electrical specs are as follows and are relevant to exactly where you can use the kettle: Power: 300-360W (most multi adaptors are easily able to handle that power level) Voltage: 220-240V Frequency: 50-60Hz As the kettle is not dual voltage, it shouldn’t be used in countries with power supplies that have a voltage lower than 220V. So that means that it isn’t suitable for use in the US, Canada, various Caribbean Islands, Japan and a number of other countries. That is slightly unfortunate as although it can be used in many countries (you can find lists of voltages in different countries from various websites) it can’t be used everywhere. In fairness, this was not an issue for me and the listing does show the suitable voltage range. As described in the listing, the kettle is designed to heat water to a choice of four pre-defined temperatures of 45, 65, 85 and 100°C. I have used a probe to test these and can confirm that my kettle heats the water to within a degree or two of these temperatures. In my experience, the time taken to heat tap water to 100°C is just under 8 minutes and there is a beep when the kettle is ready to open. I’ve done this in the UK and several EU countries (the latter using an appropriate adaptor). The lower temperatures obviously take less time to reach so if you don’t want your tea scalding hot you can make your cuppa more quickly. The 300ml capacity is sufficient for a decent mug of tea or coffee or for Pot/Cup Noodles. The kettle successfully keeps water warm just as described in the listing and can also be used as a flask. This kettle has really improved my travel experience. It has been reliable, is compact and it achieves the temperatures it claims to in a reasonable amount of time. The price is good and it is a nice object to own. Overall, I very much recommend this product although if you need a travel kettle to use in countries with lower voltage you should look at dual voltage alternatives.

I bought this Bear travel kettle mainly for preparing formula for my newborn, and it has been a real time-saver. I usually fill it with fresh water, heat it once to 100°C to make sure everything is properly sterilised, and then keep it set to 45°C when it is time for a feed. It heats up quickly since it runs directly from electricity, not a battery, and the temperature control is very accurate. The size is just right for baby bottles — about 300ml — and it fits nicely on the bedside table or in a travel bag. The stainless-steel lining feels sturdy, and the lid closes securely so there are no leaks when pouring. The keep-warm function is especially handy at night because I do not have to reboil water each time. Pros: fast heating, precise temperature control, perfect size for baby feeds Cons: Unable to heat up while traveling or outside as it is not battery powered

Bear 1.7L electric kettle. Doesn't have the functions it says it does. It has no indication of water temperature after the boiling process has completed. It doesn't hold a constant temperature after boiling. After boiling, the kettle goes into standby mode, displaying 00, and nothing else. Also, really slow to boil, but at least it is relatively quiet due to this. In conclusion, it doesn't work as advertised, doesn't work as stated in the manual, and is a complete waste of £25 unless you just want a basic kettle with a few temperature settings.

This kettle heats water very quickly and performs well in terms of basic boiling speed and capacity. In day-to-day use, it is easy to fill, comfortable to hold, and pours cleanly without dripping issues, which makes it practical for regular kitchen use. The noise level is fine, and no louder then a standard kettle. The water taste as expected. However, the main drawback for me is the control interface. There is only one button and feel overly sensitive, and I found it difficult to reliably set and maintain the desired temperature. Even small, accidental touches can change the setting, which became frustrating over time when trying to use specific temperatures for tea or coffee. It may simply come down to personal preference, but I found the control less intuitive than expected, and for that reason I personally would not choose this model again. Overall, it is a fast and functional kettle with good usability in handling, but I feel let down by an overly sensitive control system.

This kettle has surprised us in how good and useful its features are. It looks good, is very stable on its base when boiling the water and the actual temperature of the heated water can be set easily. It's surprising how often one chooses to heat water to a temperature other than boiling. It shows that continually boiling water up to 100 degrees centigrade isn't always what you need to do and is also a waste of electricity. So being able to choose the temperature you want and set the keetle to keep warm at that temperature if required, is a really useful feature. On that point, the way to set the temperature is really easy and straightforward, requiring only a light touch or 'brushing' action across the knob on the handle, to cycle through the temperature options. Just stopping touching the knob will allow the kettle to select that temperature and start the heating process. It has been reliable in every respect. I would certainly buy this kettle again.

I travel to the Lake District once a week for work and stay over one night in a room with no access to a kettle! Not a good idea for a tea lover, like me. I was using a travel mug and making a tea at work for the following morning but it was cold. Then I came across this little gadget! I’ve only used it a few times but it’s very easy to use and means I can make tea in the evening and a fresh one in the morning when I wake up. It’s very compact, well made and quiet. I have a 600w power bank so I’m going to try using it on the road too! Ideal for campers and people who stay in hotels without a kettle (or, if you don’t want to use a hotel kettle). Ideal for making up baby bottles too (as long as you have access to electricity or a power bank).

The switch is very sensitive to touch, if pressed too hard- the digital temperature numbers start circulate around on the display. It is very fast, moderately quiet. It would be a bonus if the filter was made of a fine mesh to keep any lime scale off- instead off a build one with a relatively bug holes. Important- no water level indication on outside- which I missed to notice before buying it. You have to look inside while pouring water in to know the amount of water going in. Over all not bad, but.. could be better.

I consider that the price of this kettle was very reasonable. The ability to select the temperature to which the kettly heats the water is frequently very useful. However, the procedure to start the kettle heating, with only 2 control mechanisms - switching electrical power on & off at the mains plug, & pressing of the only control switch on the kettle (black plastic switch set on the black plastic kettle handle, which is difficult to locate by sight or touch) - is complicated & time consuming every time, rather than the more usual single button press to start heating the kettle to heat to the same temperature as last used. Overall, though, I consider this kettle good value for money, the single stainless steel can is vastly more leakproof that most kettle designs, is much easier to clean scale from periodically due to such easy access, &, to me, lack of an externally viewable water level is no problem (& avoid likely site of future water leak).

Bajo el aspecto de una cantimplora de agua se esconde un potente hervidor capaz no solo de calentar y mantener la temperatura sino de hervir el agua. Excelente para tener a mano en caso de querer una infusión de viaje o en el trabajo, ya que es mucho más discreto que tener un hervidor en la mesa. Tiene incluso un selector de temperatura. Evidentemente está pensado para hervir únicamente agua y luego rellenar una taza o vaso (no incluido), no para beber como si fuera una botella. Obviamente es más pesado que una cantimplora y su capacidad es mucho menor de lo que aparenta, ya que el interior está forrado con el elemento que calienta. Para una taza de té es perfecto, y me sorprendió la relativa rapidez con la que llega a la temperatura adecuada. Obviamente habrá que ver con el tiempo, dependerá del uso, del cuidado de la limpieza de la humedad.

Carino e maneggevole. Mi piace il design. È leggero ed entra facilmente in valigia o nello zaino senza occupare troppo spazio e senza pesare tanto. Il fatto che si possa scegliere la temperatura mi piace particolarmente. È anche il motivo per cui l’ho acquistato. L’unico punto un po’ debole secondo me è che ci impiega un bel po’ a raggiungere le temperature alte (85/100 gradi). Comunque è utilissimo. Non lo uso solo quando viaggio, ma anche a casa per preparare i tè giapponesi che richiedono una temperatura più bassa.

Top Produkt, Temperatur lässt sich schön einstellen, kein Überkochen, läuft auch in Umgebungen mit schwacher Sicherung. Optisch sehr gelungen. Reicht für 2 Espresso Double 👍

Après 3 semaines d'usage 3 fois quotidien Cette bouilloire est parfaite : - matériaux lourds et solides, de bonne facture. Interieur en métal inoxydable. - chauffe à la température voulue (45, 65, 85, 100 degrés celsius) grâce au bouton set tactile ( le petit rond avec un dessin de thermomètre). Très pratique. - sécurité totale car couvercle à vis, pas de vapeur qui sort et pas de risque de renverser de l'eau bouillante pendant le chauffage. - bien lestée à vide, ne se renverse pas. La semelle en caoutchouc est anti dérapante et anti glissades. - cordon électrique avec terre - chauffe l'eau en 3 minutes maxi - alerte sonore quand elle a fini de chauffer l'eau -sécurité : l'extérieur reste froid, il y a une tout petite zone tiède au niveau de la résistance, mais vraiment pas de risque de se brûler - quand elle est débranchée, la prise mâle est dissimuler par un opercule en caoutchouc, ce qui la protège des poussières et saletés, ainsi que de l'eau Cette bouilloire est en plus jolie, petite et compacte. Pratique son pochon de transport. Elle m'a sauvé mon thé et mes tisanes en hopital où les bouilloires classiques sont interdites. Très bon produit. Attention, c'est une bouilloire, donc elle n'accepte que l'eau.

Mycket bra. Gör det den ska. Perfekt för en mugg varmt vatten
