Circulon Contempo Teakettle 2-Quart Whistling Enamel, Red

Mainly at first I wanted a teakettle that I could hear and most I can not. The whistle on this one is not loud but low toned and I can even hear it in my bedroom through a short hall and the full length of the kitchen.

It is heavily enameled inside and out and heats water as fast as the stainless steel one we had.

I don't often write reviews for things I buy, but the process of purchasing a kettle required A LOT of research in order to find a great one with no problems, so I hope to maybe save others some of the headache.

Works as advertised. My girlfriend needed a new pot. She will only drink coffee through a french press and loves to use a pot on the stove compared to an electric kettle (don't know why?). She wanted black and we both love contemporary or modern looking products. This fit the bill perfect.

-Lid snaps on tight
-No dripping issues while pouring
-Large handle that does not get hot to the touch
-Loud whistle
-Heavy and sturdy (feels like it should last a long time)
-Boils as much or as little water needed very quickly

I would recommend this product to friends and family.....assuming they like the design.
