"Can't Beat It!"
I've had one of these kettles since 1978. I "downsized" a couple of years ago. This is exactly the same as my "old faithful" just smaller. Yep, they're light weight, and you can't open them for cleaning, but the whistle's loud and it boils water quickly...and yes, if the whistle goes on too long, the handle will get hot. So don't do that...

"excellent"
This was a replacement and I only hope that the new one lasts for as many years as its predecessor. The other only wore out due to being left on a burner when empty on not one but several occasions. Excellent product.

"Hot Top on the Copper Bottom"
This ain't your mother's Revere Ware! It's NOT 18-10 Stainless, it's thinner metal,
and it's made in CHINA - not the USA as the new corporate conglomerate wants
you to think. (the original "Revere Ware" company ceased US production years
ago and only the "brand name" is now owned by World Kitchen, LLC. 2006)

Besides being 'burned' by this faux-patriotism, you will likely be actually burned
by the incredibly bad design of the dinky phenolic-resin lid actuator as the tender
back of your fingers contact the boiling-hot steel top! (maybe only tiny chinese
underage olympic hands fit properly...?)

The single fill/pour hole is only ~1.25" diameter and the lid will only open ~45 deg.
relative to horizontal - so good luck filling this from either a filtered fridge dispenser
or poured from another container. Also, the spring-loaded lid will not remain in an
open position - which prevents the pot from thoroughly drying inside.

Amazon has other, better choices - browse on! (we purchased this from Amazon
and are returning it. [3.5 qt model #3535017])


"I was pleased until"
I was very pleased with this item. It did everything it was constructed to do as advertised. It only had one flaw. When left on a hot stove burner for an extended of time with no water in it, it tended to melt.

"Good Tea Kettle"
This is the 3rd tea kettle I have purchased in a year. I left the whistle off the other kettles and would forget they were on. I bought this one because the whistle is always on and is loud. I can hear it from anywhere in the house. I am happy with this kettle and would buy it again.
