Love the temperature feature
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kettle is slick. Boils temperature quickly and relatively quiet. The temperature feature is very handy and a much nicer looking kettle than competitors on the market, like the Breville. Pours really well.
Main complaint is that the lid doesn’t fully open / able to be taken off and so it’s sometimes a bit tricky getting water in there depending on your tap. In the scheme of things, pretty minor complaint, but test it out before you buy to make sure it works for you. My wife finds the ‘ding’ once it has boiled a bit annoying (like an aeroplane reminder to buckle in your seatbelt), but I quite like it!

Jury still out on the KEK1701 Kettle
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first Kitchen Aid purchase and it looks to be a well made product, as it should be for the price.
It looks stylish in the kitchen and it is quiet and has a soft ping sound when you turn it on and when the water is boiled which is a nice feature.
I bought this product about a month ago and it works well but cools down very quick (it seems earlier/other models were double walled to retain heat)
It seems to go through a self check heat cycle where it starts heating then stops and checks itself for 10 seconds and starts again, I'm not sure if this is a feature or a fault but has led to complaints from the kids (the manual for the KEK1701 isn't on the Kitchen aid support website yet)
The lid opening mechanism seems a bit flimsy, as does the lid hinge, but time will tell.
I hope it lasts the distance as I do like the kettle.

Step backwards from previous Kitchenaid kettle
I regret purchasing this Kettle after owning it for less than a month, if I still had the box id return it. I purchased it to replace a wider KitchenAid to save bench space but this one lacks the double walled insulation and the most disappointing step backwards is the fact the the button to open the lid has moved from the handle to the lid meaning I cant pick up the kettle, pop the lid and fill up the kettle using one hand.

Annoying ding
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the look, quality and feel of this stylish kettle but it makes the MOST annoying and loud ding every time you switch the kettle on or off. I contacted Kitchenaid about this to see if there's anything I can do to turn it off but the answer was no. They claim it is a safety feature but I disagree that one is required for a kettle. If they insist on continuing with the ding at least make it quieter. I am not alone in my complaint. I went on-line to see if there was anything I could do but there is nothing to be done without voiding the warranty (and getting the soldering iron out). Many people have the same issue as I do.

The Star of in my kitchen
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Never looked back since replacing my old tired worn out kettle with KitchenAid’s 1.7L variable temperature kettle in Empire Red. It is a smart kitchen accessory where you can control the temperature of your water. It boils fast and has a delightful ping sound when switched on and off so useful if you are not near that it’s ready. Light to pick up and refill regardless of the size of your sink and fits easily back into its cradle no need for a couple of attempts. Classic design with a contemporary look. Well worth the investment

Good kettle
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice kettle, with ability to adjust temperature. Quick boil, and quieter boil compared to others.
Makes a sound when used and has boiled, which is useful, however it’s very loud so wakes up child for night feed.
Button to open lid is located at the top which it slightly annoying and the lid gets hot if you need to use it again and refill after boiling previously.
Would buy this again, as warranty was easy to deal with and overall this is a good product compared to competitors

Quick, pretty and reliable
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have had the new kettle for a month. So far I've been delighted by how fast it reaches the boil. It's also incredibly convenient to be able to set a maximum temp when I'm cooking or making coffee and don't need the water to be boiling hot. Plus I love the colour (pistachio)!
The only sticking point (pun intended) is that just occasionally, the lid doesn't want to stay closed after I've filled it up, and takes several goes to get it to stick.

I love my new kettle!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first KitchenAid purchase and I'm delighted with it. I had my heart set on a clear glass kettle from another brand but it was such a disappointment. So, I exhanged it for this lovely almond cream kettle which I love. It looks stylish in my open plan kitchen and the feel in the hand is high quality. It is quiet and fast to the boil which is great. It has a lovely light on the base and a soft ping sound when you turn it on and the water is boiled. I look forward to using it each morning. I'm pleased that an initial disappointing purchase made me consider and try this new brand. I really do love my new kettle!
