Great, until it rusted
on December 11, 2017

We loved this kettle until it started rusting both on the inside of the spout and inside of the kettle itself within 6 months of purchase. Very disappointed as we had thought we could trust the kitchenaid brand to provide quality appliances.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not great product for money spent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually drink 3 or more cups tea a day, so i bought this tea kettle thinking it would be great. After less than 6 months its already rusted inside and the bottom has stopper that have fallen off bottom where goes on to warming base and water no longer gets hot but lukewarm. Now i spent all this money and have look for new one already. Not impressed, very dissatisfied with product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Disappointed
on September 1, 2017

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.

Great little kettle but....

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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Verified Purchase:Yes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kettle makers still persist in using plastic parts internally making for a plastic taste in and potentially harmful tea drinking. When trying to purchase online, I specifically called and asked if there was plastic inside and was assured that since not part of description, there was none. Wrong. Still on the hunt.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

So sad
on September 25, 2017
Posted by: Na

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.

Love the look and feel, the stainless steel construction makes it feel like you have value for your money. Was very pleased with the quality and the appearance of quality in the color. I will be very pleased it last 5 years or more
I would recommend this to a friend!
