This kettle works great and has a small footprint on kitchen countertop.
BUT after only a few months use, has started to rust on the top, both on the body rim and the lid. Not the performance I expect from a KitchenAid product.
Spend a little more on this product, maybe rustproof ring around the top of the body, how much more could that cost you. Id pay a little more to have it last more than a few months.
I bought this kettle about one year ago. I love my kettle. I'm English and I drink about 6 - 10 cups of tea, a day. It heats up quickly which I like, but, during the heating process it makes a loud popping sound! This past weekend it died on me! Just quit working, for absolutely no reason. I am very saddened by this. I was looking forward to a long lasting relationship with my Kitchen Aid Kettle. I paid more money for this particular kettle than any other kettle I've ever bought. Over the years I've bought a lot of kettles, non of which were the caliber of Kitchen Aid! I'm so sad.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this kettle a couple of week ago. I liked the design and was happy to receive the kettle. I first boiled water, as instructed, and emptied it. The I boiled water for tea. I drank the tea and could taste the plastic. The I became dizzy and my head had a numbing sensation. I opened the lid on the kettle, and could smell the plastic. So I left the lid open to let the plastic air out. The next day I boiled some more water for tea, and I could taste and smell the plastic. Also, had the same reaction--dizziness and numbness to the head. With regret I had to return the kettle. My health comes first.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very pleased with the kettle. I can adjust the temp precisely to what I am preparing. A must have for the discerning individual.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this tea kettle, the look fits well into my primitive colonial kitchen, it heats up fast, and it's a sturdy kennel. My only complaint about this appliance is that I wish it were larger. Since we use this every day for tea, cocoa, and our use it while canning, it would be nice if I didn't have to fill it so many times a day.
