Fast boiling time!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a recall replacement for the KitchenAid electric kettle we used to have. There was a recall on the handle although ours didn’t seem to have any issues. But since it is a safety concern, KitchenAid gladly replaced our kettle even though it probably had years of life left. The new kettle we received works the same great way as our old kettle. Set your desired temperature and press start. Cheaper kettles only boiled water. Being able to set your desired temperature allows you to make a great cup of tea since boiling water can make some green and chrysanthemum teas bitter. Being able to set the temperature is the best feature you can have on an electric kettle. We’ve had it for around a year and is still going strong.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had 2 of these kettles, and they were both recalled. The new ones are much better. They are easier to open and quieter. Glad they were recalled because the new ones are improved.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great electric tea kettle. It boils water very quickly, it’s very well made and looks really nice on my kitchen counter. It looks and performs like a quality product. I’m very satisfied with it.

Great except one tiny defect

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Positives: love how low the beeping volume is, sleek/simple/effective design, love being able to manually choose the temperature
Negative: the circular lid is a little loose so when the kettle is upside down, unfortunately water leaks through the lid (instead of only coming out of the spout)
I would recommend this to a friend!

My morning companion

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This unit was a warranty replacement because my pot was recalled. I love it the same as the first one. I love the "keep warm" button. I can start the pot and go take a shower and then steep my tea when I am done. I love that I can choose what temperature to bring the water to based on what kind of tea I am brewing. I am sad that they reduced the volume of the "all done" beep. I can barely hear it now unless I am right in the kitchen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the Kettle and only gave it 4 stars because the whistle is very low and there is no way to make it louder
The degrees is celsius instead of fahrenheit I wish they would change that
The water boils quickly nice kettle

Fast boil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am astounded at how quickly my new kettle heats water. The on/off switch turns the heating element off automatically so I never have to worry about forgetting when I’m done. The color is rich and the kettle looks so nice sitting on my counter. i’m pleased.
