Stovetop Tea Kettle Product Detail

Estimated Arrival:

Rated 2 out of 5 by Peggy64 from Poor safety features I bought this teapot to replace an old KitchenAid kettle and I am returning this one. The silicon that was on the lid handle is gone on this one and the metal gets so hot you cannot touch it. Also, more importantly the handle on the kettle itself has a very narrow silicon strip and you must use a pot holder to pick up the kettle. It also does not whistle as loud as the older version of this pot, which is the whole reason I buy a "whistling teapot". I love the look of the kettle and the fact that you can keep the spout open, but the design flaw of the handles is bad enough to make me return it and hope they rectify these flaws soon.

Rated 1 out of 5 by starlove from Poor design This kettle has a poor design. After boiling water, I can not hold the handle with out a towel. It gets very hot. Also, the plastic part that lifts the little whistle part to pour the water has melt. I have put it in a box to give it out to charity. I have few kitchen aid products and I love them. But this particular kettle however, needs a better design. Other than that, the look of the kettle and the amount of time it takes for the water to boil is great. Sad, that I had to get rid of it.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Lia from RUSTING SPOUT I purchased this tea kettle in Jan 2015. I was ok with the product until I recently noticed rust developing on the inside of the spout. This kettle has a design flaw that allows water to gather and sit within the spout to promote the growth of rust. My other issues, as some other reviewers have stated, is that the whistle is not very loud on this product - whether it is partially full or over half full. You also need a mitt to handle the kettle once it's hot enough. I have always been a big fan of KitchenAid products with about half of my kitchen appliances making that statement - but this simple kettle disappoints me the most. This product only has a 1 year limited warranty. For the price tag and my diligence of care, a kettle should not start rusting this early. I'm giving this one star because it is a very aesthetically pleasing addition to the kitchen stove and it is a good weight.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Siouxieq from Rusted interior of tea kettle I bought my Kitchenaid stove top tea kettle about a year and a half ago. Today, I happened to look inside the kettle and saw numerous rust spots throughout the interior. How grossed out was I realizing I had been using this kettle every day and drinking rusty water?? Yuck! So if Kitchen Aid responds to this comment by "apologizing" and "reaching out" I am going to scream. This tea kettle is a cheaply constructed product obviously cheapened to be competitive in the marketplace. What a waste of money.

Rated 1 out of 5 by angie from Looks great, boils water, No Whistle. I received this as a gift from my kids, I wish I had returned it immediately, but I loved the look and it was a welcome gift. I noticed when there was no whistle. All I hear is the sound of steam rushing through the whole, but you have to be standing right next to it to hear it. I use the kettle daily now because I switched to tea rather than coffee, I'm aggravated first thing every morning when getting ready for the day because often the water has boiled down too much by the time I get to it. I don't want to standby while having a busy morning. Kettles are meant to whistle!

Rated 2 out of 5 by SorryButNo from Looks great, but the plastic melts. This is our second try with this kettle. The plastic on the handle/spout lever melts, even without using a high setting to boil water. (We moved, so have used different stoves with the same result. ) Kitchen Aid is mystified, and said they've never heard of this before. I love the look, but the design is poor.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Martz from Rust I bought this for my husband a couple of years ago, because it is all metal with very little that can melt on it. It is also very beautiful in the blue. It has lasted longer than any other teakettle to this date. However, I have watched the inside of it develop a rust deposit. I have tried to clean it out, to no avail. What I don't understand is, Where does this rust come from??? We use only distilled water, because this area water is full of minerals. This kettle is porcelain coated inside and out. Could it be that the inside was poorly coated with the porcelain. Vinegar will not remove it, it is rough and brown, now. It used to be shiny blue. I have used a no-scratch pad to try to clean it, but it just takes some off and I cannot get to it easily enough.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Tea drinker from THE KETTLE IN RED-LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING (very disappointed! We are a tea drinking family. My wife purchased a Kitchen aid (KTEN20SBER) Red 2.0-Quart Kettle with Full Stainless Steel Handle and Trim Band. It is suppose to have a steam whistle, but from the very beginning, it has not whistle but once or twice. We think that the Polished Stainless Steel Thumb-Press Spout does not close tightly. The design is poor because you can burn your thumb and fingers on the thumb press and kettle lid. IT IS HIGHLY UNSAFE AND CAN BURN YOU! Looks aren't everything!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Marty from Kettle Dribbles water when pouring Hi I love the look and feel of my kitchen aid stove top kettle but the handle gets hot and when pouring the kettle dribbles water back down the outside of the spout and onto the bench, I contacted Kitchen aid Australia who were happy to replace the one i have but, wouldn't you know it they don't have a green one and they aren't importing any more. So do I purchase another from the states and take the risk that it won't leak or do I just put up with what I have??
