Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Me. I love this little kettle. It's also perfect for a couple or small family and those who don't need a whistle that wakes the dead. The design is very aesthetically appealing and functionally suites me well too. Being smaller means that even full the kettle is not too heavy to lift or pour. It is well balanced and does not feel akward in pouring. The lever under the handle allows for a firm grip when pouring. The top comes off without difficulty yet seals well when closed. I can easily fit my hand inside to clean the kettle as well. The handle is high enough to easily fill the kettle from a brita pitcher without tilting the kettle. The whistle will alert you if you are in the kitchen. If you put the kettle on and leave the room, it's true you may not hear it. In other words, what they say about a watched kettle is not true. Some reviewers have noted that the kettle spills all over the counter. I have only found that on a few occassions. I believe that occurs if the kettle is filled past the max capacity. Keeping the water below the spout weld should help. If you need to overfill, you need to get the 2 quart kettle. The rhubarb color was not as vivid as I had hoped, but all in all, this kettle is perfect for me. Adding a note here: there is a message under the kettle top which warns against over filling. You may be able to see it on the photo.
