It's a Kettle Mar 17, 2010
this guy was walking by my house smoking a cigarette. i could smell the smoke and thought to myself OMG that's bad if i can smell a cigarette outside my house w the windows closed...imagine my surprise when i walked out of my home office to see smoke every where and my smoke alarm going off...know what time it was? time for a new tea kettle, one w a whistle on it. it was my old tea kettle burning on the stove bc there was no whistle on it and i forgot about it.
this tea kettle is good. i can't give it 5 stars for two reasons.
1. for me to love a tea kettle there better be something great about it...something exceptional. there is nothing exceptional about this tea kettle. don't get me wrong...its not a bad tea kettle but for me to give it 5 stars this thing should do something other tea kettles don't do.
2. the space between the trigger and the metal is quite small. so to pull the trigger to open the lid you have to be very careful not to touch the metal. i did a couple of times really burning myself once.
other than that i have no complaints. i mean, when you put it on fire the water boils. that's a good thing, right? the handle does not get hot for me. i read a few reviews that the handle got hot. i can't see anyone having a problem w the handle getting hot unless you're deaf or don't mind what sounds like the whistle for the end of the work day on the Flintstones. which brings me to my next point. i think i read that some people said the whistle wasn't loud enough? this thing is loud...you'll hear it all thru your house unless you live with the Gates family and the water does boil pretty fast, due to the copper bottom. another good thing about it is when you pull the trigger the lid opens very wide giving you lots of space to pour your tea or fill it up at the sink.
if this is the price range you're looking to spend i would recommend this kettle...not strongly but i would recommend it.
 Hot Handle! Mar 04, 2010
I ordered the 6-cup version of this tea kettle based on the number of people who said that the handle did not get hot.
THEY LIED!!! If you boil a nearly-full pot, you cannot touch the handle, it's so hot!!!
Also it seems to take a long time to boil 6-cups of water.
I don't know if there are any better tea kettles out there, but I do NOT recommend this one.
Just like Mom's old teakettle when I was a kid! Feb 25, 2010
I've lived with/endured a number of cheap enameled teakettles since I was a newlywed (back in the early 1980s). They all had removable lids, which made them easy to fill; however, they all tended to be on the small side, and would eventually develop thick hard-water deposits on the inside (and those hard-water deposits were the one thing keeping the cheap, thin metal they were made out of from burning through and leaking!). When the handle of the latest cheap teakettle melted/fell off after less than 2 weeks, I'd finally had enough. The RevereWare teakettles were the best-rated of the less-expensive teakettles on Consumer Search, and they came in 3 different sizes. This 3.5 quart size most closely resembled what I remembered of my mom's old teakettle from when I was a little girl, so I ordered it. I love the large capacity! It's great for multiple cups of coffee/tea/single-serve ramen noodles in a cup/etc., and it's also a good size for keeping boiled water on hand when there's a boil order in town. The spout is slightly less convenient for filling the teakettle than a lid would have been, but it's a nice large spout (I stick a finger inside to feel the water level when refilling). I haven't owned this long enough yet to have to scrub the copper bottom clean; however, since it's the only piece of copper-bottom cookware I own at this point, it shouldn't be too tedious to clean just one thing. Highly recommended!
 Large capacity teakettle Feb 25, 2010
This is the largest capacity teakettle I good find and at the best price. It seems durable--we had one of these years ago that held up for a long time (with daily use). The whistle is not too loud and shrill. The first one arrived with the whistler detached and I could not get it stay in place. Amazon promptly sent out a new one and gave easy directions for returning the defective one at their cost. I was very pleased with the service.
