Kitchenaid Variable Temperature Kettle | 1.7L

This is beautiful looking kettle. I was disappointed from day one that the lid didn’t function well but I’ve persevered due to its good looks and it’s my experience that many modern kettles have a similar issue. Now after only 6 months the kettle is leaking at the base at the decorative metal strip. I may have to give up having a nice looking kettle for something that is robust!

Very good!

Haivng been pleased initially that the replacement we received under warranty after reporting that the lid on our previous identical kettle no longer operated, we were disappointed that the new one showed exactly the same problem within a month. We requested a refund as the fault seems to be a design issue but this was refused as the warranty period covering the original purchase had now expired. It is disapointing that an expensive item from a reputable manufacturer is apparently expected to last little more than the two year warranty period.

Boils quietly and very fast. The only trouble is the lid. It does not always open on first second or third try. Looking online they tell you to open the lid fully when filling as this will reset the hinge and make the.catch sit in the right place. For the price this is not ideal. Lid catch needs a little more thought
