Fabulous product
Have really liked this kettle. It is lighter than my previous kitchenaid kettle. And the little bell sound it makes is quite cute. Nice and quiet also. A great purchase. I am very happy with it.

Stylish, solid and work perfectly
I recently purchased this KitchenAid kettle and I’m extremely happy with it. The build quality feels solid and premium, it heats water quickly, and the design looks beautiful on my kitchen bench. It’s easy to use, pours well, and feels like a high-quality appliance overall. Definitely a great purchase.

It suits families and entertainers, with easy operation and a generous capacity. Its main limitation is the lack of advanced insulation, so exterior surfaces may get warm during use.

Things to consider
Exterior can get warm during operation, unlike some premium kettles with double-wall insulation.
Family size suitability
8/10 - 1.7L capacity easily serves a family or small group.
Entertaining suitability
7/10 - Suitable for gatherings, but may require refilling for larger parties.
Ease of use rating
9/10 - Simple controls and clear temperature settings make operation intuitive.
Noise level vs category
8/10 - Quieter than most standard kettles, suitable for quiet environments.
Travel friendliness
Not ideal for travel due to size and mains voltage requirements.
Key benefits
- Variable Temperature Control: Lets you select the ideal temperature for different teas and coffees.
- Quick Boil: Boils water efficiently, reducing wait time to under 5 minutes for a full 1.7L.
- Quiet Operation: Designed to minimise boiling noise, making it suitable for open-plan spaces.
- Large 1.7L Capacity: Serves multiple cups, ideal for families or entertaining.
- Easy-Pour Spout: Reduces spills and ensures safe pouring.
- 360° Swivel Base: Allows convenient placement and access from any angle.
- Removable Filter: Helps keep water clean and easy to maintain.
Q: Is the variable temperature control useful if you drink both tea and coffee?
A: Yes. The KEK1701 can heat water below a full boil, which is useful for green tea, black tea and pour over coffee where boiling water can be too harsh. That gives more control than a basic one temperature kettle.
Q: How much water does the 1.7L capacity make in everyday use?
A: A 1.7L kettle makes about 6 to 7 standard 250mL mugs, so it suits a family kitchen, shared office nook or when guests are over. If you usually boil for one cup at a time, a smaller kettle may feel more bench-efficient.
Q: Is the quick and quiet boiling feature completely silent?
A: No. Quick and quiet boiling means it is designed to reduce the usual kettle noise while heating water fast, but it will still make some sound in normal use. Expect quieter operation than a typical kettle, not silent boiling.
Q: Why choose the KEK1701 over a basic one-temperature kettle?
A: The main advantage is control. This model combines a 1.7L family-sized capacity with variable temperature selection and quick, quieter boiling, so it suits mixed tea and coffee use better than a basic kettle that only heats to a full boil.
Q: Can the variable temperature feature save waiting for boiled water to cool down?
A: Yes. Heating water closer to the desired drinking temperature can reduce the wait for delicate tea or coffee compared with boiling first and cooling later. That is a practical benefit of the KEK1701 over a boil-only kettle.
