DeLonghi Kmix 54-Ounce Kettle, Red

I got this kettle about a month ago and I love the look of it! It works fast (maybe about 2 minutes to boil a half filled kettle) and is simple, yet it doesn't have really any features. It simply has an on/off switch, and it will automatically turn itself off once it reaches boiling. Other kettles in this price range have options to set the temperature you would like or to keep the water warm once it has reached boiling. Another thing to note is that this kettle is VERY noisy.

I just got this kettle in orange after seeing it in a magazine. I've been using a Russell Hobbs electric kettle for the last 15 years and needed to retire it. This kettle is sleek, beautiful, and efficient. I especially like the fact that it takes up less space than my old kettle because of it's height. I just think that this is the perfect kettle and, I gotta admit, I can be a little bit of a perfectionist when it comes to things I use daily. It's visually pleasing and built to last.

Bought this for my mother for Christmas and she absolutely loves it. She has tea with every meal and loves the fact that it heats up quickly and turns off when water is boiling. Retro design fits with her other DeLonghi appliances. Not quite as big a hit as the toaster oven, but a close second!
