Love it .

Kettle started leaking…..Woke up to water on counter and running down cabinets…KITCHENAID has gone to s#’t…..

Very dissatisfied with this expensive electric kettle. I've upgraded from older version of KitchenAid kettle thinking this would be an improvement. The exterior is hot to the touch unlike the older version it would be slightly warm to the touch. Not more than a month and there are lime scales on the bottom of this new kettle with "lime reduction" as one of their new features of this kettle.

Dreadful kettle. Lid opener stops working within a month. This is a replacement since the first one lasted about 4 months. The lid opener stops working so you have to try to open the lid with your nail. Dangerous if you are refilling the kettle while it’s still hot. Worst kettle I’ve ever owned (and I’m British so I’ve had many). Do not recommend. Will be asking for another replacement pretty soon as this one has stared to intermittently refuse to open. Disappointed to say the least.

I'm so glad I got this for free, because I would return it just because there's an airplane style ding for when it turns on and finishes heating and I'm just annoyed to all get out that every piece of machinery has to have sounds and lights. Just let it heat water.
