12-Cup Glass Stovetop Whistling Kettle (1)

Does the job well Makes a good cup of tea and it does whistle

I have purchased several of these over the years and they are perfect! However, this time, the lid does not fit into the kettle like is is supposed to do. I should be able to press it down and push it into the opening. Then when it begins to whistle, I can pop it out with the side handle. This lid doesn't fit in at all. Luckily, I have one from my last kettle (I tend to break things :-/ )

Very satisfied; just what I wanted and needed

Yes, it looks like a diner throw back from the 60's but it's great!. The best feature is the the handle does not heat up. You can remove the teapot from the stove without using a potholder. It's easy to pour as the handle is on the side in the correct position for pouring, not on top of the kettle where the steam from the hot water burns your hand. The whistle is a mellow whistle not that shrill screech you get from most teapots. The shape is not domed so the water boils a bit faster as there is less "ait space" to heat in the pot. Easy to clean, it's borosilicate glass. I purchased 2 just because I liked it so much. So much better than any "fancy high end" teapot.

The media could not be loaded. I have been looking for the perfect tea kettle for a while. The reviews on the typical metal ones seem to always have issues with rust forming, or the lining chipping off into the water. I really like that this is glass and wont have any harmful heavy metals leaching into the water, or rust!I love that it has a lid that whistles (shown in video) to let me know when it is ready.I was a little nervous about the ease of removing the lid since I had some trouble out of the box with getting the lid out. But with the heat from the water, it makes removing the lid a breeze!The glass seems sturdy, and the handle is easy to hold onto. I also like that it pours well!Why I removed 1 star is because the lid is plastic, and when getting a glass kettle to try to stay away from toxins, I can imagine with the heat from the steam hitting the plastic lid, there is a chance of some getting into the water from the heated plastic. There is another glass kettle available from a different brand that has a glass lid, which is ideal, but that one has reviews of too thin of glass on the kettle itself. Would be nice to have a glass lid option for this kettle.

I wish you didn’t have to fill it to the minimum 24 oz line on the kettle just to make a cup of tea. It says maximum is 48oz and not to go over the line and I don’t see the line. Not a deal breaker for me.

The media could not be loaded. This kettle was worth the purchase, I had a stainless steel kettle but i noticed that it had started to rust on the inside, and that's when I decided to go on Amazon to search for a glass kettle that could make 12-cups of water. I was not disappointed when I got my kettle. It heats the water really fast, and you can also see when the water starts to get hot which is very enchanting. The steam comes out of the hole on the lid then it whistles, so I can hear it from anywhere in my home.Please do not try to turn the stove off before removing the kettle from the burner, remove it first then turn your stove off. I really love this glass kettle and I hope you'll love it too.

The lid does go on with a lot more force than it should take and then when it starts to heat up when you have the pot over a flame, it pops! off! Literally flew off. The lid seems to be for a different product, that makes the most sense. Since it seems like most other reviews don’t have this issue.
