Does the job

"We got this to replace our old kettle and have not been let down. It can hold a deceptively large amount of water and is very easy to clean."

handsome but no whistle

"Bought this handsome, heavy-duty tea kettle for my mom. Easy open spout is great. Problem is that kettle doesn't whistle. Is there some adjustment we need to make?"

Pleased with purchase

"The first two times I used this kettle it did not sound, so I wasn't aware the water was boiling. After that it has started to work and the whistle is working great. Since then I haven't had any problems with it. I would recommend it to someone."

Looks great, works fine

"I was reluctant to purchase after reading the reviews, but decided to buy it because there wasn't many other good options.
I haven't encountered any of the issues other reviews have reported: water doesn't have a funny taste to me and the whistle works (I noticed though that if you add too much water the water just boils over and will not whistle).
Overall, I thought it is a good purchase and would recommend it."

Don't buy

"Yes, hot water tastes metallic-y. It's terrible.
I don't know why they used a rubber or silicon ring on the lid. It makes a bad smell, and makes the water taste funny. We removed it and the water still tastes strange."

Wouldn't Recommend

"Can't get the metal smell/taste out of it. I have tried boiling and dumping water 20+ times. Even went on line and someone suggested putting baking soda and vinegar in it and letting it soak. It did help some, but still unable to use it."

Love this tea kettle

"I was concerned after ordering this teakettle for myself, when I read some negative reviews about it. I ordered the kettle with a cork handle. I have found this kettle to function very well. It boils the water quickly, and has a loud whistle. It pours easily, only a little extra flick from my wrist needed. I have no regrets in having ordered this kettle, and it's the best one I've tried so far."

Perfectly happy

"I still love the look and functionality of this teakettle after almost 2 years. The brushed stainless is easy to keep clean. The whistle is loud enough to be heard in all areas of my house (which is admittedly small, but if you are boiling water I suggest you don't go into the next wing or out to the garage and start a project). The handle / lid-opening combo is genius and very easy to manipulate. Just a slight tilt opens the lid to pour and it goes back into place when you set it back on the stove."

Awesome kettle

"I needed this ... tired of microwaving my water when I try to make jello. Or, want enough hot water to make tea on a cold winter night without warms ups by microwave. Got it for my birthday and love it. Great stainless accent to my new kitchen"

Tea's on!

"We put this kettle on our registry just because every stove needs a kettle. When we received it at our engagement party we decided to give it a whirl. We everything about it from the design to the form and yes, the whistle!"

Sleek and Durable

"I've had this sleek looking teakettle for over 5 years now. It heats quickly and has a loud whistle when boiling. The best part is how easy it is to pour. I'd definitely recommend it."

Great teapot!

"I am a HUGE tea fan, so I was thrilled to get this off of my registry. It looks great with all of the stainless steel in my kitchen. It's easy to use, and mine makes plenty of noise when it's ready."

Just ok

"This kettle looks nice, especially in the picture, but is very light, thin & appears cheap. It's too loud...you can hear the water simmering while its heating. The Easy-open spout is ok, but doesn't close unless you angle the kettle the exact opposite way. If you just put it back horizontal it won't close. Overall, too cheaply made. Go for a thicker, sturdier kettle!"

Whistles just great for us!

"We were really excited to get this off of our wedding registry. We've had it for a few months and after daily use, it works wonderfully. I can hear it whistle from my master bedroom bathroom just fine. The design is great - the lid automatically lifts to pour when you tilt it. Overall, we're really pleased with this gift and definitely recommend it."

Not the best

"I was very excited to try this kettle, as it was our first wedding gift. The uplift was the main reason why this product was so appealing. On the box, it claims there is a loud whistle. Unfortunately, the whistle was not loud at all. I used it several times and was not aware when the water had boiled, which was a disappointment. The teapot has been exchanged for a similar style."
