    Overview

    Putting the kettle on has never looked so stylish. KitchenAid are renowned the world over for their elegantly constructed stand mixers, and they carry these design principles over to their smaller benchtop appliances.

    This 1.25-litre kettle boils quickly and quietly, closing the mile between you and your chamomile. With a removable limescale filter, 360-degree base, and aluminium lid, it can easily be transferred and cleaned.

    Round out breakfast by pairing with a KitchenAid Artisan two- or four-slice toaster, and get creative by mixing and matching colours.
    Sleek colours

    Backed by decades of heritage, KitchenAid know a thing or two about making appliances that turn heads. Available in Empire Red, Onyx Black, and Stainless Steel, this kettle carries the KitchenAid badge with pride. Get adventurous by pairing with a KitchenAid Artisan two- or four-slice toaster, also available in multiple colour finishes.

    Quick and quiet

    This kettle is an honest performer that knows its role. Fill it with water and flick the switch when you get home at the end of a tiring day, and you’ll be nursing a soothing cuppa in no time at all. You’ve undoubtedly dealt with enough noise throughout the day, and this kettle’s quiet operation means you won’t have to deal with any more.

    Removable limescale filter

    Located in the pouring spout, the removable limescale filter traps any sediments or deposits within the kettle before they can find a way into your mug. Because the flavour should be coming from your tea leaves and not from anywhere else.

    Compact footprint

    The kettle’s removable base allows for 360-degree rotation, so you will have no trouble transferring the unit. The smooth, rounded design makes the kettle easy to handle and, by storing the cord inside the base when not in use, you will save on benchtop space.

    Great little kettle!
    Overall, I'm very happy with this kettle. It looks nice, and feels like it is sturdy and a decent quality. Once heated, the steel kettle keeps the water hot for a lot longer than my previous kettle which was plastic. As I only ever use the kettle for at most two coffees/teas, the water capacity is perfect. The cons are that it takes longer to boil, and is much louder than my previous kettle. The electrical cord is also quite short compared to my previous kettles (approx. 45cm if that's helpful for anyone), which is good or bad depending on where you want to put the kettle. Just something to keep in mind if your electricity socket is higher up or you need to plug the kettle in from further away. I do also wish the filter wasn't plastic, but I will say that the filter on the Kitchenaid kettle is easier to remove and put back in than the filter on my other kettle. It pours the water out nicely, with less splashing than my other kettle. However, when you remove the lid, I would recommend doing it over the sink as the condensation from boiling does tend to sit in the lid so water drops out from it once it's removed (my previous kettle had one of those lift lids so this isn't something I had to think about previously). I hope this review is useful to someone as I've just included all the things I would've liked to have known before buying, but I don't think these things take away from the kettle as I would still buy it over my previous kettle even with the cons 😊 I just really love the shape/design and the fact it keeps the water warm for so much longer, especially as someone who often gets distracted whilst waiting for the kettle to boil and forgets about the coffee they were making haha.

    Great little kettle
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this funky little kettle a month ago for two reasons: I wanted a kettle that lasted and my Kitchen Aid gear lasts well and it was too cute to ignore. It isn’t heavy but feels sturdy as if it will last a long time, it looks great on the bench and it boils quickly and quietly. It holds a little less water than most kettles but this hasn’t been a problem.
