This is the second Kitchenaid Artisan kettle I have had now and I absolutely love them. After years of having my first one it was time to get a new one and knew I wanted the same kettle again but in a different colour this time. I always get comments on great it looks from anyone who comes to the house and sees it. It boils fast, is quiet when boiling, love the 'ping' noises it makes when you turn it on and when it has finished boiling, I like the round dial that tells the temperature as I can tell if it needs boiling again if been left a while, being able to set the temperature myself is great as I make coffees and teas and hot chocolates which need different temperatures. I would recommend this kettle to everyone!
