Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid Gourmet Essentials 2-Quart Tea Kettle, Stainless Steel
Customer Review: Beautiful, sturdy and functional
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a huge tea drinker and have been trying to find the perfect kettle for a few years now, it's really hard for somebody as picky as I am to find one that looks good and is sturdy. This one definitely is.
I do agree with previous reviewers that have mentioned the handle getting hot. If I remove it from the burner soon after it starts whistling I don't need an oven mitt, but I think it has the potential to get that hot. The whistle is also not the most pleasant sounding, but as previously mentioned you will have no trouble hearing it from the other side of the house.
Overall, this kettle is beautiful and sturdy, I love it and highly recommend it.
Customer Review: Nice, solid kettle
Summary: 4 Stars
This kettle replaced a 10-year-old Revereware kettle, which was still working fine but didn't match my new set of Kitchenaid pots and pans. It's beautiful and solid, a nice heavy weight but not too heavy. It's easy to clean because I can fit my whole hand inside the opening and scrub, and I have large hands. The lid stays on nice and tight and the whistle is loud enough to alert me from anywhere in the house. I didn't notice the handle getting hot like some mentioned, but I didn't fill past the maximum fill line. It's so pretty that it stays out on the stove all the time and the brushed stainless resists fingerprints. Should last me a long time.Customer Review: Tea Kettle

I cannot comment on the kettle's performance. I must have had trouble understanding the ordering buttons, as I had thought I was ordering a (specifically) RED kettle. Not only did my red kettle turn out to be brushed stainless (silver), but I received it too late for Christmas. Not only was it late, it arrived without instructions for returning the item. I have sent (three) Emails to Macy's, asking for return/exchange information. I have now received (seven) Email responses from Macy's apologizing for the delay in responding, but that I should get an answer within three to five days...They should have said three to five weeks! I am not happy!Customer Review: Best of Many Versions
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had 3 or 4 kettles in the last couple of years. The Oxo, which is as/more expensive, went to hell so fast it was bizarre: warped, looking like it was fished out of a dumpster. Then I got another one that was a disaster: also got ugly weeks into its tour of duty. Second one was an even bigger disaster though because the hole was not big enough to get my hand down inside and white stuff started to appear in the water.
This one works fine, and there is no problem pouring using it (??). It is staying clean, though as is the case w/all stainless, keeping it clean means special treatment. Still, 10x better than the other two I had.
Customer Review: Big Bright and Shiny; what more could you want? Of coarse I'd like to bring my wife back from the grave as well.
Summary: 5 Stars
Not even a strawberry could stain it! Of coarse my husband would be furious if I got near it with a strawberry but I secretly tried staining it with a straeberry at night at 3:09 AM when my wife was fast asleep and it didn't stain! Now that's quality! Am I right or am I right? Well my husband think's I'm right. She wants me to come into bed with him right now! She loves me that much cause I bought this fantastic tea kettle. Thanks mom and dad! I'll never forget you! (Especially mom. My dad beat me with a wooden spoon when I was young. Whenever I forgot to wipe his behind after he would make excrement I would get a powerful thrashing.)
