Mr. Coffee Flintshire Stainless Steel Whistling Tea Kettle, 1.75-Quart, Brushed Satin

I had to buy another one after 8 years of use. Somehow a little pinhole formed at the bottom of the kettle, but I'll let that slide since it lasted this long. It's probably the best designed kettle out there. Having a handle lever control the spout is very convenient. It also fits perfectly on my little portable infrared range. I game a lot, so I'm not usually focused on the kettle when I'm boiling up some water. Having a whistle to remind me that the water is ready is also another convenient feature. Update: DO NOT BOIL WATER WITH POTASSIUM CHLORIDE. My new kettle started leaking, but I found out that if you boil potassium chloride, it can cause corrosion which in turn can cause leaks. Normally when I make tea, I boil the water, pour it into my mug, and then add the potassium and tea bag. I recently started just putting everything in the kettle first and then boiling it and that's why I never had this problem before. Oh well, it looks like I'll need to switch to a glass kettle.

Sleek looking, there are only two of us tea drinkers here so the capacity is great for us and the whistle quality is good I can hear it whistle from 2 rooms over. No complaints so far. If something changes will be sure to update but very happy with the purchase

We bought this after Helene knocked out our power for 12 days after our whole house Generac generator crapped out after two hours.We had to heat water on our propane grill in a pot which was OK but this works so much better. You don't get the hard whistling sound of the vintage ones but it's good enough to let you know the water is hot.Seems thin and lightweight but that probably helps it heat up faster. You have to use a pot holder or rag to hold it otherwise you'll get burned when it's hot but overall worth it.

Colorful and functional! Easy to use and clean. Recommended for your cuppa!

it's so pretty and it heats up the water but the whistler is not loud at all...if I am not standing nearby, I will not hear it from another room - I am so disappointed- I was so anxious to hear it whistle that I let my water boil for 10 minutes the first time.addendum - had to go back and re-rate this pretty tea kettle - after about 4 days of no whistling, I could tell a difference when the water was heating up - sounded like popcorn popping and after 5 minutes, the tea kettle WHISTLED!!!!!! I was so happy. I had read, that maybe I needed to blow out the whistler area and so I did that on day 3...I am one happy customer!

Actually, a really great tea kettle for pourover coffee, huge bottom heats water fast, pours accurately, great spout trigger that stays open if you want, looks great, fine quality, very pleased. So what's not to like? Pretty much nothing but potential - no actual scald hazard - that I CAUSED (operator error). Pressing very firmly, the lid snaps loudly tight, cannot come loose. However, if not pressed firmly, you will hear and feel it snap not as loudly "closed". What then happened to me TWICE (did I not say operator error? Not at my brightest in the AM.) is when I had the kettle tipped at ~ 45 degrees to pour out the last bit of water the lid fell out, releasing a blast of steam scalding my hand as I slammed it down as fast as I could, hurt for about 20 minutes. Thinking 'You dumb s...! Pay attention!, did it again a few days later. so learn from my mistake, don't be a dumb s....

This is a good quality, lightweight kettle. It does whistle which I like. The handle is well above the metal and it is hard to burn yourself with it. I like the stainless steel appearance which may be too plain for others. It cleans easily too.

You obviously get what you pay for. Was looking for a simple, smaller tea kettle at an inexpensive price. The stainless steel kettle looks very nice, but is extremely lightweight and gauge of the metal used is extremely thin. Wouldn’t want to accidentally drop it, because it would be permanently dented or broken. In addition, it takes twice as long to boil 12 oz. of water compared to my older heavier gauged kettle that probably had better heat retention. Finally, the kettle fails to whistle unless it’s filled to the max water line. Therefore, I need to set the timer on my phone for 5 minutes to alert me instead of depending on hearing a whistle. Can’t be bothered to return it, since it’s not a big deal for me.
