Perfect in every way!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first electric kettle & it is the BEST kettle I have ever owned. Simple in design, it is quiet & turns off by itself! Great product from Kitchenaid.

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
I would recommend this to a friend!

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!

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.)

Smells of Mildew

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