KitchenAid Almond Cream Temperature Control Kettle 5KEK1522BAC

I had this kettle for the last 9 years, every time my sister and relatives see it, they admire it. My sister asked me to buy it as a gift.....and I did....... we are both happy.

I read an article in a consumer magazine that recommended this kettle as the best one they had ever tested re: quality of build and operation. So, I bought one (colour: black onyx)... and I agree with the review I read. It isn't as big and bulky as it looks in pictures, perfect in shape and size, with a nice satin sheen to the colour. It's also quiet, and quick to reach temperature. Yes, it's expensive, but it's the first kettle I've owned that I've ever wanted to cuddle (and I can do that, because the outside of it isn't too hot to touch), and it's worth every penny I paid for it. As you can tell, I just love this beautiful kettle ..... I've named it, 'Chubs,' by the way!

It's a beast. Solid, well constructed and good looking in a slightly retro way. Not too noisy and quick to boil it also has heat setting for when you make green tea and herb or fruit brews. First impression are all good but as ever, time will tell and I expect this kettle to be around for a long time or I shall want to know why.

A bit pricey but it’s worth it. Variable temperature control. Double walled so keeps water warm saving money. Not overly noisy (unlike the bosch kettle which is ridiculously loud). Boils quickly. Perfect pour. Easy to fill and light weight. It’s just great.

Such an appealing look, quiet, quick, nice lighting and a lovely noise when temperature reached. All in all a well made item. Very pleased!
