KitchenAid KTEN20SBER 2.0-Quart Kettle with Full Stainless Steel Handle and Trim Band - Empire Red

UPDATE: the purchase said dont contact through amazon but go through the usual Kitchenaid support. Got nowhere with them (theyre too big of a company and it gets lost). With no options left i finally reached through the amazon seller version of them and they responded immediately and sent a new one. The first one was just a bad apple. We just tossed our old tea kettle (with the forever plastic chemicals and that crap.) and this one is amazing. Kinda wish i bought this sooner. Happy wife happy life. She loves it and it matches her other red kitchenaid appliances. This is my 2nd attempt at updating this review to 5 stars so hopefully the amazon app doesnt glitch out again. I recommend this product and if you get a bad duck like we did, dont contact kitchenaid customer support. Go through their amazon seller account and theyll make everything right and remove all doubts and buyers remorse. Thank you for your quick help.Item damaged. Been on the phone for weeks with Kitchenaid and cant get anyone to help me. Constantly given different numbers to call and transferred to departments. Left messages. Left email with photos. Radio silence. Im fine with a replacement kettle if it works but this one is not functional. The hinge is missing on the spout rendering. This useless. The runaround Ive been getting through Kitchenaid directly has ended the return window on this and now im stuck with an expensive paperweight

We bought several teapots that we found problems with and wound up returning themThis one finally met all our expectations and we have used it daily for months and we still love it.

Love it.....sings beautiful .

Beautiful tea kettle, expecially in Pyrite. The Pyrite color is very attractive. In fact, it really looks like real pyrite yet, of course, it’s not. What’s to say about a tea kettle? It’s well made, but it has one weaknesses that lowers the perfection of the kettle but not the rating. For this price, I was very disappointed the whistle was not harmonic; instead, it just a plain whistle which is somewhat irksome, definitely boring, and a little hard to hear from a distance.On the plus side, the finish is porcelain on the outside and also on the inside to prevent rusting. The spout is opened by an easy thumb press, not on the outside of the handle by use of the other hand, but on the underside using the same hand holding the kettle. This makes opening the spout a very easy operation while still sitting on the stovetop. Next, the kettle is made from enamel-coated stainless steel both in and out to prevent rusting; and, the shape inside allows one to dispel all drops of water when pouring out. I find that there is no drop left in the kettle that could cause rusting even if it weren’t enameled inside. This is what brings the cost up to it’s point.It’s easy to fill. The top comes off and goes on very easily. (After boiling, this top does get hot; so, don’t try to remove with bare hands). The water pours out from the spout without burning one’s hands from steam.The other nice thing is that the width at the bottom exactly fits the width of the smaller electric burner on a glass-top stove or induction stovetop. The silicone inserts in the SS handle make it easy to pickup without burning one’s hands. It will get warm, but not hot UNLESS you let it continue to boil several minutes after the whistle starts to blow. At that point, of course it will get too hot to hold without kitchen gloves or a towel.Oddly, or maybe not, it has a nice aesthetic look to it; not a modern piece of art, but a nice looking kettle that you will probably want to leave out on the stovetop. We’ve had at least three or four comments in the first three weeks of ownership much to our surprise. And most of the comments were not about the kettle but about the color of this kettle—pyrite. It’s quite unique.Finally, if you read the Q&A and reviews, there are a lot of negative answers and reviews about this kettle. As usual, most of the negative reviews come from people who, 1) don’t read the instructions of preparing the kettle for boiling; and 2) wouldn’t know how to boil an egg. Certainly, many don’t even know how to spell our wonderful English language.Many of the questions are answered incorrectly by some and correctly by others. Who can you believe? We haven’t had this kettle long, but long enough to say that it’s a very good kettle and wouldn’t purchase another for any reason. If something changes, I will update this review.

Is a good itemThe handle gets hot

Beautiful and functional!

So sad!! Loved this kettle since 2022 but now it is deteriorating and rusting on the bottom. This should have lasted much longer!

This kettle is great for induction cooktops. There is only a few things to consider. the fastener that secures the polished band in the middle leaks a bit when at full boil. So, this pot will never be at full capacity (water up to the base of the spout) without some leakage. It stays clean and the handle is very cool to the touch under all conditions we tried.
