Not just a pretty face

Would Recommend

I brought it as a gift for my wife. I must say first how we designed it is. Almost a statement piece. And it's very functional. Well done Kitchen aid

Needs a visible warning not to put on gas burner

Would Recommend

This is the third pot I've received. Two of them were burnt to a crisp by guests who unknowningly set the pot on the gas stove to heat the water. Could you make a tag of some sort to warn people who somehow don't realize it is an electric pot!! I'm afraid now to leave it on the counter!

Out with the Old in with the Holiday gifted one.

Maryann uses this kettle to heat water for her tea. It heats water much faster than her previous one (I can’t recall the model number, but it was a much taller one.)

Compliments and space saving

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) It looks like a stovetop kettle which is nice. Lightweight and boils water very fast. It would be nice if it whistled to let you know when it's ready as it's very quiet.

Smells of Mildew

I love the look of this teapot. However, it smells mildewy. It’s too late to return it.

Fantastic Kettle

Would Recommend

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) The kettle is so well made, look great and boils fast. It's the first of many kettles I have owned that I finally trust not to leak or simply fail. It pours quickly and safely and is a pleasure to pick up and use.

Stylish and effective Water Kettle

I purchased this kettle years ago after seeing similar ones on a trip to Ireland. I bought this one because it is colorful, stylish, and fits into the decor of my kitchen. It has performed flawlessly now for the past 7 years.

My Red Electric Kettle

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This kettle is fantastic, not only beautiful but also the most useful small appliance I’ve bought in a while. Boils water very quickly—a cup of tea right away!

Great looking kettle!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is definitely getting highest rating for the looks. It is good looking appliance and I do like its simplicity. It takes about 4 minutes to go from tap water temperature to rapid boil, and size is good for three mugs. So far works pretty well and is being used about 4-5 times daily.

No features is good, simple solid, beautiful and r

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the color, the robustness and the general design like retro. It’s not fast, but works to boil the water. Great weight and balance. A few screws are too much visible, what makes the luxury fell a bit less intense. No features is good, keep it simple and reliable.

So Happy to Have It!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So sturdy and cute, It's KitchenAid through and through. Heats quickly. Pours cleanly. Comes with an extra long cord that can be tucked into the base. I'll be using this for years. Nice to have a space separate from the stove to have boiling water on demand. Love the safety feature of the automatic shut off. (I'm terrible about leaving teapots boiling...)
