Love it

Since I've taken up tea drinking again and my kids love hot cocoa in winter, I decided to invest in a nicer kettle. I chose this one because it had so many good reviews and I'm glad I did. I love the color and shape, it is a breeze to clean and fill, and it's easy to pour. I haven't had any trouble with spilling, and I do like the silicone around the handle - although I wish they made the silicone cover the entire handle instead of just middle.
Overall, I'd buy it again. |
But I wanted one that WHISTLES!

| It's beautiful and I love the look of it. But I specifically spent the extra money so that I would have a GOOD tea kettle that whistles. It sputters, it spits, it hisses (a little, if the water is really rolling), but it doesn't whistle. I read the reviews and knew this was a possibility; I had just hoped mine would be different. It wasn't. :( |

Everything about this kettle is just as it should be...except, it doesn't whistle. Not a peep. Never has, and probably never will. Maybe I received a defective kettle?
I bought this model because I needed a loud whistle. Tea kettles have short lives around here when people forget that water is boiling and burn the bottom. I thought this kettle would be the answer to that problem. But, I can see that I will need to shop around again in the near future for another brand.
The look and color (mustard)is bright and cheerful in a modern kitchen, and it's easy to use. It's safe to handle. No steam pouring out to burn your hands. It cleans up easy with dishsoap and water. All good points in a teakettle...but it won't last long in our household. If you need a whistling teakettle, look elsewhere. |

| kettle itself operates like a tea kettle should. it is decent size, has a stay cool handle, and is not too heavy. it is not as stylish as some others on the market, but it is indeed functional and conventional. the "pear" color reminds me personally of pea soup. i actually exchanged it for the blue [which is really dark and almost black, but more palatable then its predecessor]. good luck! |
It heats water

| I can't say much about this tea kettle. It heats water. It seems to do so fairly well. The whistle is barely there, and the lid of the pouring spout does not fit the spout very well, but it still heats water, which is what it is supposed to do. |
