Customer Review: Well made product but some idiosyncracies
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this at a local store after handling all the others in stock (about a dozen). It was/is in my opinion the best constructed kettle of the selection. After using it now for over a year, I agree with a few reviewers points:
* Whistle is extremely loud and persistent, except when it isn't. For some reason, it occasionally fails to seal properly and thus the steam fails to signal that boiling has been reached. This happens rarely now as I check the cap, but I'm not sure I've found the cause and effect relationship. So I make it a point not to put it on and "forget" (since that technique cost me my previous kettle anyway).
* The handle can indeed become too warm/hot when the kettle has been on for a while. The minimalist rubber grip (which I like even if it's not totally functional) doesn't cover the entire handle so this could be an issue. Solution: turn down the heat after it reaches boiling.
* Removing top lid is not convenient if there is already hot water in the kettle, but this is minor and given the kettle's other qualities. I fill from the spout most of the time anyway since our filtered water dispenser easily fits in the spout.
My only other quibbles with the kettle is that stainless steel seems to take longer to reach a boil than other materials. Or maybe it's the shape... The other thing is the shape in that you have to tip it over quite a bit when the water gets low. Some other designs that position the spout for easier dispensing had appeal for me, but in the end they seemed to trade off things like build quality for design so in the end I opted for this traditional style. Again, these are quibbles.
Compared to the construction quality of other kettles I've owned or seen at the store, the KitchenAid easily qualifies as top-notch and is worth the extra couple bucks. I'm very happy with this kettle and do recommend it.
