Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I received this kettle excited and put water in it right away. I liked that the whistle was on the lid and not the spout like many kettles out there. Very unique. So, I sat waiting to hear the whistle indicate my water was ready. Still waiting....I see steam.....but no whistle. (Even my husband said- Seeing all the steam, I think you water is ready.) I checked to see if the lid was on correctly and it was. (A kettle won't whistle unless the lid is entirely sealed) Then I wanted to see how it poured. Well, don't be fooled. The picture looks like (to me at least) the kettle flap on top of the spout opens when water approaches. Not the case. The person I talked to with customer service said:
"The kettle flap is not designed to open automatically during pouring. It is designed to be closed and has to be opened manually in order to trap the steam inside to let the kettle whistle during boiling. Only a light touch was required to open the flap on the spout and so there was no risk of injury even when the kettle is filled with boiling water."
Personally I don't want to have to flip the top up myself. The design and quality is great. Beautiful heavy stainless steel and sturdy handle. The lid is a bit awkward to lift off and on. Extremely well made. It is a bit heavy once you have water in it. Since the whistle didn't whistle. I returned the kettle.
