KitchenAid 5KEK1701BSX stainless steel

The KitchenAid stainless steel electric kettle is notable for its temperature control feature. Unlike the Artisan retro line from the same manufacturer, this model is designed with a minimalist modern aesthetic featuring clean lines and a sleek silhouette. The interior surface is also made of stainless steel, which positively affects the neutrality of water taste and simplifies long-term maintenance of the appliance.

The temperature range covers seven presets — 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 95, and 100 °C. The 95 °C setting, which is less common in kettles, is in demand for brewing espresso-style or certain types of oolong. According to the manufacturer, the heating process is quick yet quiet. The spout is equipped with a drip guard, ensuring a neat and controlled pour without spills. The KitchenAid 5KEK1701BSX electric kettle includes a removable limescale filter, a lid with push-button opening, and a water level indicator located on the side behind the handle. After heating is complete, an audible signal is emitted and a ready light indicator is activated. The model does not feature a temperature hold function; once the desired temperature is reached, the appliance shuts off. The base includes a compartment for cord storage. It weighs 1.4 kg and comes with a two-year manufacturer's warranty.
