KitchenAid Pro Line Electric Water Boiler/Tea Kettle, Frosted Pearl

I bought this for my Birthday, in the Sale, very glad I did. I always buy myself a Christmas and Birthday Present. Love this so much, it's my third Kitchen-aid item, and most used one as well.The temperature control means I can make my herbal tea's, Coffee's and Its great for keeping the water warm with the thick walls. I made risotto with the water and didn't need to keep boiling the kettle to keep the water hot, the thermometer on the front fantastic. It's a talking point when people come to visit, they have seen them in the shops one of my friends left and went to buy one straight away!

Had the Breville Smart kettle which started to give problems due to its connection base. This kitchen aid kettle has a better shape and size. Love the mechanical temp selector as compared to the Breville that you have to cycle through every time. No loud beeps, really solid handle. Pours well without drips. Water stays hot/warm for really long (easily 4-5hours in winter). Again, mechanical thermostat which I prefer. Just to be clear, the insides are NOT plastic. Only the lid & filter which are standard. 1. I'd be interested to see how long the base connections will last as it's exactly the same as the Breville. The Breville unit started to have issues after 3 years. This unit has a 5 year household use guarantee so we will see. I'm hoping it can last a life time. 2. I wish the water level was on a different side (or two sides). But not a deal breaker. 3. The rubber/silicone feet for the base are too small. You need larger feet for better stability/suction as the base is much lighter than a filled kettle, when you lift/position/move the kettle, the base moves. Time will tell but so far so good.
