Pretty much any Kitchenaid product I've ever bought is really nice, and this kettle is no exception. I bought it in yellow to match the bright colors of my kitchen about 4-5 years ago. It continued to look like new, until I clumsily dropped it on the floor the other day and broke the handle. So I'm glad that this same kettle is available for me to replace. This small pot at 1.5 quarts is plenty big enough for most uses, I've made tea for up to 5 people at a time with this little kettle. And a good value at [$$] for the slightly larger 2 quart version. I LOVE the one-hand operation. Some kettles you have to use one hand to hold the handle and tip, another hand to open the spout. This kettle you just have to squeeze the handle to open the spout. see less

If i didn't like this tea kettle so much, I would not have bothered to make an account just to write a review. It is a sturdy tea kettle and holds the heat for sometime. The whistle is just right as well. I bought the teal color and it is very pretty in my kitchen. I paid more for this in the store. Worth the money even though I paid more. However, I must complain about this review process, it is very annoying. see less

PROS Trigger spout handle ... see more

PROS Trigger spout handle. Handle comfortable to touch after kettle boils. Pretty turquoise color is more greenish than photo shows. Nice globe kettle takes less room on burner than other very wide flat-bottom kettles. Globe design doesn't need a high flame to heat kettle. Pleasant whistle that's not shrill. Pour spout is not huge so there's more controlled pouring - wait a couple minutes to cool to avoid splashing when pouring. Enameled body is smooth on the outside bottom as well as smooth interior bottom for easy no seams cleaning. CONS Trigger spout doesn't stay open on its own. Enameled body seems thick and sturdy but stainless lid is very thin IMO-this is my second KitchenAid tea kettle and the lids are very tight to open but that's a good thing to keep the steam from escaping during boil. Take off the plastic MAX FILL sticker off pot before first use. Seems like this is being discontinued as this used to come in more color choices. see less

[...] I opted for this registry item for my friend's wedding shower. I loved that it's an everyday appliance that looks sleek, and yet it's so affordable! I would certainly consider this again for another future bride! see less

My whole family will have tea in the winter evenings, and this heats the perfect amount of water for all of us. Really nice quality and heavy, not cheaply made. see less

Got this tea pot on my wedding registry. I'm a tea-drinker and have it once or twice daily. This teapot heats up quickly and efficiently. It looks beautiful, too! One thing is that it does not whistle, but that hasn't been a problem since I can hear the water boiling when it is done. see less

I probably should wait to write a review because my kettle literally just arrived and I've only taken it out of the box...haven't used it yet. But I wanted to be sure to review it. I had read on another site that someone was disappointed in the color because they felt it wasn't red like the photo, but more burgundy. I want to say that while this is a deeper red, it is definitely NOT burgundy! I think it's a beautiful color and will go well with standard red...my red [brand] mixer cover was right next to it...as well as deeper red shades. It looks great on my stove and can't wait to try it later! see less

I received this kettle in Robin's Egg Blue to match my pots and pans, and my husband and I are loving it. It looks great sitting on the stove. It makes the kitchen feel very homey. We both love tea, and have a rather large collection, as well as teapots that cannot be used on the stove. We enjoy using the kettle to pour hot water straight into teacups, or using it to fill our fancy teapots for serving. Very happy with this! see less

First of all, I bought two! The overall style is elegantly splendid. I just like to look at it. Nice capacity to accommodate tea for four. Nordic simplicity, easy to clean, reflects rather than radiates. I could not be more pleased. see less

I absolutely love this kettle! It gets used several times a day in our house. It is easy to use, works perfectly, and looks lovely sitting out on the counter to boot. I couldn't be happier with it! see less

Not only is this kettle nice to look at, it heats up quickly, holds more water than previous kettles I have owned and is very quiet. I gave it 4 stars on "easy to use" because it is a little heavy. It might not be good for kids/seniors due to the heft. It's taller than previous kettles I have had such as Melita, Sunbeam, but has about the same footprint on the counter. I highly recommend it!! I will be buying this one as a gift as well. see less

I have used many electric kettles in the past. I am always on the lookout for one that is completely free of plastic parts. Pros - Beautiful, ceramic, boils water fast, free of plastic parts. Con - No water level indicator. [...] most stainless steel models feel hotter than this one after the water has boiled. The base stays cool so you can have one hand on the handle and another on the base when you're pouring. Love it. see less

This is a pretty large teakettle. I LOVE IT. VERY study and well made....high quality material. It matches all my other strawberry decor in the kitchen. I've never seen this type of design on a kettle...super cute. Very satisfied. see less

Beautiful,better than i expected.Not sure i'm going to use it on the stove OR just to make my kitchen attractive.Very sturdy as well. see less

We have done over our kitchen in red, black, white, and terracotta floor. Since I love strawberries, both to eat and to look at, that is the theme for our kitchen. I got knobs for the drawers and cabinets that look so much like a fresh strawberry that I'm tempted to eat them, and wallpaper with strawberry plants scattered all over it. We also have dishes with strawberries on them. So when I saw this , or a similar, teapot on another website, I hurried to buy it. I don't use it for anything except decoration; it just sits on top of the refrigerator looking beautiful! I prefer making coffee and tea in glass pots because the flavor is so much better and I believe it's healthier. I'm so glad you are carrying this pot, in case I ever want to buy another one! see less

I'd like to address a cou ... see more

I'd like to address a couple of issues raised regarding this tea kettle. First is the handle getting too hot. Try reducing the heat 'slightly'. Water will still boil, and the handle won't get quite as hot. However, this "is" a stove top implement - so, if necessary, use a pot holder to avoid burning yourself. Second is the rust issue. Instructions with this tea kettle say to use "fresh water" each time (in other words, don't leave water in the kettle - and it won't rust). If you are making tea for one or two, use less water. If you are making tea for your card club, then heat a full pot of water. And then empty it after each use.I have had this tea kettle for almost four years - and I've been thoroughly satisfied with it. It is solidly built, heats water rapidly, and has never given me a problem.Oh, and just like any pot or pan, wash it inside and out on a regular basis, and it will give you years and years of service. :-) see less

I really like this teaket ... see more

I really like this teakettle. I haven't had any problem at all like the previous reviewer did with the handle getting hot; in fact, I have found the opposite to be true. The handle is cool as room temperature when I'm handling the kettle. The kettle is sharp looking and works great. The whistle on it is certainly plenty loud to get my attention. The materials and workmanship on the teakettle are great - no problems at all! see less

I put this on our registery, because of the color. It matches our kitchen. We drink a lot of tea and hot cocoa, so I've used it a lot. It's a pain getting the lid off sometimes to put water in it. The spout cover isn't the easiest to open either like I'm used to. Instead of flipping it open with your thumb to pour the hot water out, you have to grab it with a couple fingers to pull it back. Not a big deal, but I'm used to my old one still. When the kettle is done, water drips out of the spout all over my stovetop. see less

I bought this item as a gift so it's difficult to say how well it's been working but no complaints yet. It's a beautiful looking teakettle and I'd totally get one for myself if I needed it. I'm sure the lovely noise it makes calls the new married lovers to tea often. And that handle... must be so easy to lift and pour. I'm jealous. I'll need to find me a man quick so I can get married and put this on my wedding registry. ^_^ see less

I bought this for my husband and I like it so much that I use it everyday. I've never had a teakettle before, so I don't have anything to compare this to. I like that the spout opens when you're ready to pour. The handle is very comfortable. I thought it was a little expensive, but worth it. (I just read the other reviews- my teakettle does not jerk and the spout opens smoothly.) see less

The kettle is a good size and the handle works just fine for me. I think it's a great idea to have it open when you are about to pour. see less
