Bad Points
- Recall notice: Models with serial numbers beginning with YA342XXXXX through to YA724XXXXX, sold from November 2013 to February 2018 have been recalled due to the risk of the handle becoming loose and detached. We have removed our recommendation due to this. KitchenAid tells us models outside this range are unaffected but we haven't tested the current version. Please see the u003ca href=u0022https://www.productsafety.gov.au/recall/kitchenaid-australia-pty-ltd-kitchenaid-electric-kettle-17lu0022u003erecall noticeu003c/au003e for information on how to obtain a replacement.
