Deborah : I purchased this last March for my niece’s birthday; she loves it! She just told me the other day that it was the best gift I ever bought for her, and it’s almost a year later. It heats water so quickly, and it stays hot. I bought her the bright red one. It is so pretty! I’m thinking of buying one for myself!

Amazon Customer: I’ve used a traditional stove top tea kettle for years & finally purchased this electric kettle. It’s a nice pop of color on my counter. Easy to clean, nice to look at and heats water up super quick! Very happy with my purchase.

linda durdov: I love it! We are tea drinkers. However in the past I would use the stove top kettle to heat water for instant coffe or other hot water needs. On several instances we would not hear the tea kettle “whistle” and it would boil and boil. One day it boiled down to nothing and the handle started melting. This was a safety issue. Yes we paid more attention to when we turned it on but we realized that it could happen again. We got this electric beautiful (blue to match my kitchen decor) just right size teapot. I chose kitchen aid because of the brand name I trusted for past appliances and because of the reviews, the “automatic shut off” was of most importance. No more worries about a possible kitchen fire. The exterior is easy to clean just by little soap and water. The interior after a few months is just as smooth and shiny with no corrosion I have just rinsed it out. I have no idea what some of the reviews said about plastic parts it looks like only stainless steel and or aluminum. The base has the cord that you plug into the wall in the center is a raised plug that fits into a hole in the bottom of the kettle when you place it there. If you want hot water...

Beth A: I almost didn't get this kettle because it's not as large as I would prefer, but it's *so* cute that I kept coming back to it. So far I've been quite happy with this. It heats up quite quickly, even when the water is fresh out of the cold tap, in the dead of winter in the northeast; and believe me, that water is COLD. The handle stays cool to the touch, and the kettle is easy to lift because it's easy to find a good balance point on the handle, something which can be a real issue with larger electric kettles we've had. As with any kettle, you need to make sure that you keep your hand back from the mouth of the kettle when you take the lid off, and that you open it away from you (i.e., open the side closest to the spout, with your hand on the other side when holding the kettle to refill it when it's hot). Our last kettle didn't allow us to turn it on right away after emptying and refilling it for some reason, but this one has given us no difficulty with that. If you want to get every last drop out, you do need to tip it way over, which is a little bit of a nuisance.

Time will tell how well this holds up. The original kettle, a GE, lasted a good...
