Norpro Whistling Teakettle, Red

BEAUTIFUL Whistling Tea Kettle - That WHISPERS
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.

Quite good for the money
I don't agree that this tea pot isn't a good one. It's quite good for the money. It's certainly better than the last couple of tea pots I've purchased, and certainly would hard to beat for twice the money. I have no problems hearing the whistle in the next room. If you have a large home or are listening to music in the next room, you might not hear it. Okay, it doesn't have a screamingly obnoxious whistle, but you know, I kind of like that about it.

I agree that the lid gets more than just warm, but I wouldn't have characterized the temperature as capable of creating burns. I don't need to use a mitten to take the lid off, but I suppose some people might prefer to wear one. But burns? No. The handle warms up a bit after a long time on the stove, but stays cooler than the last couple of kettles I've had. All in all, the best kettle I have purchased in this price range (and no, I am not a Norpro employee). I'd buy another, and in fact, plan to buy a couple as gifts...

What a great tea kettle!
I just purchased the Norpro tea kettle recently and when I received it I said "wow." It is a shiny red color and looks great in my kitchen. The tea kettle that I had before whistled so loud that I left the spout open when I boiled the water. One day I forgot it and it boiled all the water out and burn up my tea kettle. Well, this tea kettle makes a whistle sound just enough to know the water is ready. It is wonderful.
