Customer Review: BEAUTIFUL Whistling Tea Kettle - That WHISPERS
Summary: 2 Stars
Of all the whistling Tea Pots Amazon has, I think this is the nicest, classiest looking pot they have. This is a sturdy well made stainless steel pot. I did not plan on spending this much on a tea pot, I very easily could have bought a fairly nice one for half the price. But I could not resist, it looked so nice and I thought my wife would like it since she is the tea drinker.
Unfortunately for me there where no reviews written on it. So I just took a shot in the dark and bought it. " Bad Move "
My first problem was my Whistling Tea Pot barely whistled, it was more like a low whisper. I could hear it if I was in the kitchen five or ten feet away. If I went much further than that or another room, I could barley hear it at all. If there was a radio or TV on forget hearing it completely . After all that's what people buy Whistling Tea Kettles for, to hear when you are away from the kitchen. Certainly for not hearing it when you are standing right there.
Next if you try to open the pour spout with the little metal leaver on it, you will burn your finger. This leaver is on top of and attached to the metal flap where the steam comes out. The same thing applies to the lid on top. If you have to open the top lid with the metal knob on top of it when the pot is hot, it is going to be to hot to handle there also unless of course you have tough skin on your fingers which my wife does not have. I had no problem with the attractive carrying handle in top, it was comfortable holding and did not heat up.
Looks like the designers of this pot where more interested in making it look nice as apposed to being functional. Maybe they should have taken it home and tried it out first, before they put it on the market.
This is a great Tea kettle if you don't mind staying in the kitchen untill the water boils, and using a pot holder to open it up to pour.
PS:::; I returned the pot to Amazon.
