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.

At a glance
The KitchenAid 1.7L Core Kettle in Empire Red is a stylish variable-temperature kettle for households or shared kitchen spaces that regularly make tea, coffee and other hot drinks. Its strengths are the generous 1.7L capacity, 50-100°C temperature control and quick, quieter boiling. A fair limitation is that it is designed for benchtop use rather than compact travel or ultra-precise specialty brewing setups.

Things to consider
It offers useful variable temperature control, but it is not as compact for travel or as specialised as premium kettles with gooseneck pouring or more advanced brew-specific controls.
Family size suitability
9/10 - 1.7L capacity is well suited to families or several users making multiple drinks in one round.
Entertaining suitability
8/10 - generous capacity and quick boiling help when serving several guests, though it is still a standard kettle rather than a large urn.
Ease of use rating
8/10 - push button lid, removable filter and straightforward temperature selection make daily use simple.
Noise level vs category
Quieter than typical kettles
Travel friendliness
Low - the 1.7L benchtop design is better suited to home or office kitchens than portable or travel use.
Key benefits
- 1.7l capacity: Heats enough water for multiple mugs at once, making it practical for families or shared kitchen use.
- Variable temperature control: Lets you choose from 50 to 100°C to better suit green tea, black tea and pour-over coffee.
- 2400w heating element: Delivers fast boiling performance for quicker drink preparation.
- Quick and quiet boiling: Reduces noise compared with typical kettles while still heating water quickly.
- Full metal construction: Offers a sturdier feel for regular day-to-day use in busy kitchens.
- Brushed stainless steel interior: Helps provide a durable internal finish suited to frequent boiling.
- Removable limescale filter: Makes routine cleaning simpler and helps keep poured water cleaner.
- Push button lid: Makes filling and pouring more straightforward during everyday use.
Q: Does the outside get hot while the kettle is boiling
A: Yes. The KitchenAid 1.7L Core Kettle has full metal construction rather than a double-wall body, so the exterior can feel warm during use. It suits buyers who want a solid metal finish, but not those specifically after cool-touch sides.
Q: Is this kettle actually quieter than a standard basic kettle
A: KitchenAid describes this model as quick and quiet boiling, so it is designed to reduce boiling noise in everyday use. It should suit open-plan kitchens better than many basic kettles, but it is not silent and still makes normal heating sounds.
Q: Does the limescale filter help in hard water areas
A: Yes. This kettle includes a removable limescale filter, which helps catch scale particles before pouring and makes routine cleaning easier. It does not stop scale from forming inside the kettle, so regular descaling is still needed in hard water areas.
Q: Is the inside stainless steel or lined with plastic
A: The KitchenAid 1.7L Core Kettle uses a brushed stainless steel interior. That gives you a metal water-contact surface inside the jug, but the product information does not present it as a fully plastic-free kettle across every internal part.
Q: How useful are the variable temperature settings for tea and coffee
A: The 50 to 100 degrees C range is useful if you make more than one style of hot drink, because lower settings suit delicate teas and hotter settings suit black tea or pour-over coffee. If you only boil for standard tea, the extra control may matter less.
Q: Does the push button lid make filling and cleaning easier
A: Yes. The push button lid gives quick top access for filling and for reaching inside when rinsing or descaling. It is still a hinged kettle lid rather than a fully removable top, so access is more limited than on a completely open-mouth design.
