KitchenAid Gourmet Essentials 2-Quart Kettle
- Boils quickly
- Seven color choices
- Loud whistle
- Lifetime warranty
- Handle can get warm
- Heavy
The KitchenAid Gourmet Essentials 2-Quart Kettle heats water quickly and, with six ceramic color options (plus stainless steel), it can match the décor of most kitchens -- though it should be noted that the ceramic models are not suitable for use on a smoothtop range. Owners say the KitchenAid kettle boils water quickly and seems sturdy. However, it weighs nearly 4 pounds when empty, which is heavy for a kettle. The whistle is loud, which most reviewers like. Several reviewers say the KitchenAid kettle's handle can get warm, but this effect can be minimized by using the kettle on a small burner, heating over medium heat, and not filling the water above capacity. This stovetop kettle comes with a limited lifetime warranty, which is an extended replacement warranty for the first year.
The KitchenAid Gourmet Essentials 2-Quart Kettle is not included in comparison testing, but there are hundreds of owner reviews on Amazon.com and Cooking.com.

1. Amazon.com
The KitchenAid Gourmet Essentials has received more than 100 owner-written reviews at Amazon.com, netting it a 4-star rating on average. People love the way it looks and say the whistle is loud enough to hear outside the kitchen. There are some complaints about poor design, however. The handle can get hot if the burner is bigger than the bottom of the kettle, some complain, but one user says the product's instructional manual can help troubleshoot such issues.
