Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Water comes quickly to a boil in this 2-quart teakettle, which features sturdy steel construction for fast, even heating. Its beautiful porcelain enamel-coated exterior resists stains, cleans easily, and is durable enough to withstand daily use. In addition to the kettle's colorful exterior, its lid and handle are made of beautiful 18/10 stainless steel accented with color-coordinated soft silicone rubber to form a stay-cool handle with a confident grip. A strong, clear whistle indicates when the water's ready, and the lid removes for simple refilling or cleaning--the kettle should be washed by hand only using a mild cleanser. The teakettle measures 7 by 8 by 9 inches and carries a hassle-free replacement warranty for the first year and a limited lifetime warranty thereafter.

Love the kettle, it's easy to clean, heats water quickly, handle can get hot but not unbearable even my kids use it (sometimes we grab a potholder) and it looks beautiful.

2.0 out of 5 stars Would not buy this one again, March 23, 2007

ok, it does boil water, but when pouring the water splashes out all over if the pot is almost empty or almost full. The lid can not be opened if the spout top is in the up position and if you like to cheat and fill from the spout vs. removing the top, it will not work on this kettle. I might expect these items from a $15 kettle, but not from one this price.

2.0 out of 5 stars Bizzare, inefficient design, September 8, 2008

This review is from: KitchenAid Teakettle 2-Quart Gourmet Essentials Porcelain Enamel Kettle , Black (Kitchen)

It boils water - that's about the only thing it does right 100%. Otherwise, the design is puzzling at best: grip handle is not completely encased in plastic and gets hot through the metal part - be mindful else you'd burn yourself. The little lid pops out with vengeance, too tight and requires too much force to open. The spout mechanism can mandate the use of both hands at times, because it's clumsy and inefficient. The trigger should have been built within the grip and actuated like a gun trigger, with one hand. Lastly, the grip handle cannot be folded to the side, like a proper kettle's handle should - perhaps to prevent injuries, however, it could have been designed with a built-in indexing spring so the folding action requires some force, rather than be absent completely. A simple design akin to Copco Zingo's, if properly implemented with stronger materials and better craftsmanship, would blow this kettle right out of the water. Look around for better deals.
