[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the kettle! My favorite color ( I voted for this new color). It makes it so much easier to boil water for my tea.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellence appliance

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I get great pleasure out of the color and design of this kettle. It is ergonomically designed with the ease of lifting, adding water and pouring hot water. I use it for tea thus far which brews best with fresh water.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Smells of Mildew

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

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.)

Needs a visible warning not to put on gas burner
on March 14, 2026
Posted by: Angela
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!
I would recommend this to a friend!

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
