Close, but no cigar
I was disappointed to see this item was not as vibrant in color as I had hoped and the whistle does not function. However, it is quite serviceable and is the only pink teakettle I have been able to find anywhere, so it's a keeper. As I stated, whistle does not function at all, so pay attention when it is on to boil.
good
teakettle is good strong quality but the color is not has pink as it appears and the whistle is not loud, I am happy with it but I do not depend on the whistle function
Cool Sound!
Ok....so I didn't order this teakettle for a long, LONG time because reviewers were saying that it didn't whistle. I thought it didn't make any noise at all. But, I loved its looks so I decided to order it anyway. The yellow color is a buttery yellow. The kettle is good and heavy and the enamel seems to be thick and evenly applied. But the sound....the sound is SO cool! It doesn't whistle like your Grandma's teakettle but it does make a sound. It starts out low and gets louder the longer it boils. It is a low and deep sound like a warning siren. You'll never have to worry about your kettle boiling dry. This kettle will alert you in plenty of time. I'm really enjoying the whole item from shape to color to sound.

whistle fixable maybe
I love the teakettle, cute shape, gorgeous red color, good price, good size for 2 or 3 mugs of tea like I make, handle doesn't get too hot to grip, can see into the glass lid. I do wish it was light colored inside.
[...]The two little harmonica reeds are tack welded inside a metal disc. It is held inside the spout cap by a tiny philips head screw. A large jewelers screwdriver works. There is a spring that the disc floats on, which can fall out when you remove the disc and is easily repositioned around the screw hole. The tightness of the spring (adjusted by the screw) affects whether it whistles or not, I tested adjusting by about half turns until I found the right spot, which for mine was fairly loose. Also the reeds can be carefully ... Read More
