About this product

Heat water to the right temperature for any drink with the KitchenAid 5KEK1701BBM Variable Temperature Kettle. It offers seven precise settings from 50C to 100C, perfect for delicate teas or a builder's brew. The 3000W element boils water quickly and quietly, while the 1.7 litre capacity holds 7-8 cups. Its sleek black stainless steel finish suits any worktop, and the removable filter catches limescale. Boil-dry protection cuts power if empty, and the 360-degree base allows easy lifting and replacing from any angle.

It's solidly built but manageable at 1.4kg when empty, and the pull-back lid makes filling straightforward. The 0.71m cord gives you flexibility for placement, and you'll get a reassuring 2-year manufacturer's guarantee for complete peace of mind.

Customers Say

Stylish kettle with fast boiling and temperature control praised, but many report lid opening issues, loud beeping sounds, and poor outer insulation causing burns.

Stylish, modern kettle. Not too heavy and very useful button to open the top to add water. Looks great.

Failed in about a fortnight of use, where refused to boil water. Also lid refused to open sometime when pushing open button, quite frustrating for a high end product.

The button for releasing the kettle doesn't work. Bearing in mind the price, that's not great. The kettle looks nice but isn't functional

Good kettle but the lid sticks on occasion when trying to open. When you pay top price you expect better.

Faulty lid mechanism

2

26 March 2026

Haivng been pleased initially that the replacement we received under warranty after reporting that the lid on our previous identical kettle no longer operated, we were disappointed that the new one showed exactly the same problem within a month. We requested a refund as the fault seems to be a design issue but this was refused as the warranty period covering the original purchase had now expired. It is disapointing that an expensive item from a reputable manufacturer is apparently expected to last little more than the two year warranty period.

Great apart from the lid catch

19 March 2026

Boils quietly and very fast. The only trouble is the lid. It does not always open on first second or third try. Looking online they tell you to open the lid fully when filling as this will reset the hinge and make the.catch sit in the right place. For the price this is not ideal. Lid catch needs a little more thought

Awful sound and dancing kettle

3

10 March 2026

Awful sound which can’t be turned off , is like trains station signal. Start button is small and placed inconveniently by the base making whole kettle move on the surface, so I need to hold kettle when I turning it on. Big disappointment.
