Full of plastic
Save your time from going to the returns line at Target. The kettle has a plastic filter right inside the unit near the spout. Mis-representation and super disappointed. Plus, it’s quite a hassle returning an item from kitchenaid.

Compliments and space saving
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) It looks like a stovetop kettle which is nice. Lightweight and boils water very fast. It would be nice if it whistled to let you know when it's ready as it's very quiet.

Kitchen 1.25 Electric Kettle
I really liked this Kitchen Aid electric kettle that was purhased by my husband in 2015 as a Christmas gift. So why I do not like it anymore is because of the flaking that has developed on the bottom of the inside., somethingI have noticed in the last year. I use it almost daily so I leave the filtered water in it.

Fantastic Kettle
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) The kettle is so well made, look great and boils fast. It's the first of many kettles I have owned that I finally trust not to leak or simply fail. It pours quickly and safely and is a pleasure to pick up and use.

Love this kettle!
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Love this kettle. I have bought at least 3 over the years. It gets a lot of use in our household. It is the perfect size…not too big so boils quickly and looks stylish!

Beautiful Design, Works Perfectly
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) This kettle is both beautiful and functional. The build quality feels premium, and it heats water quickly. I love how elegant it looks on my counter—it’s definitely a statement piece as well as an everyday essential.

Filled with plastics.
Thanks for all the black plastic inside. Just kidding. I was looking for an all metal electric kettle but assumed incorrectly that this would fit the bill. It has an unremovable plastic filter mount, secured by plastic fittings, and plastic pieces in the lid. It'll be returned promptly, still wet from the cleaning. Thanks for nothing, KitchenAid.

Good kettle!
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) This is a great kettle, looks good esthetically. I love the way it looks like a vintage kettle that you put on the stove with a modern twist. The only thing that would be better if it held more water and that the lid was a little easier to get out without knocking your fingers on the handle.

This kettle was more expensive but it was worth it
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I purchased this item a month ago to replace a Hamilton Beach kettle and am happy with this move.

Great!
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I bought this a little over a month ago and I’m so pleased with the sleek style of it and how it’s light weight. Minutes for it to come to a complete boil! Great purchase!

A kettle that is actually a kettle
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) A kettle that is actually a kettle. I looked at a lot of kettles that had to many features. I wanted one that boils water and nothing else. I also waned something without a hinged lid as these have broken on me in the past. It is the same a a kettle that you would use on your stove just electric. Only two points to improve. One is the switch is a bit flimsy feels like a weak point that could break. Two is it takes longer to boil than kettles that I have had in the past.

Difficult to add more water safely!
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I love the look and auto shutoff. Quite classy:-)) Otherwise I am not finding it particularly safe for me. Maybe I'm getting old and forget to slow down but often I want/need to add more water and when taking off the lid I come close to scalding myself. There is no real way to remove the lid without having your hand over the opening. If the handle swivelled some it would be better! (maybe it does but I am not strong enough to do it! LOL) I'm using it for now but looking for something more user friendly for me! I'm sure one of the kids would love it!
