Great kettle!
I was relieved to finally find an attractive tea kettle for my gas stove at a reasonable price. Although the handle and whistle components are plastic, the tea pot performs well, heating the water quickly and insulating the hot water, keeping warm for about 20 minutes afterwards.
The sound of the whistle is pleasant, much like a harmonica. If left boiling it can crescendo to a medium-pitch train whistle. Just enough to get me running across the house to tend to the hot stove!
Without water it is very light but durable, machine washable, and once again- safe for the gas stove. Alleluia!
teapot short and stout!
i love this teapot - the whistle is more like a harmonica - very cool and it heats up the water very quickly.
