Corelle Coordinates 2-1/5-Quart Whistling Teakettle, Country Cottage

I had recently purchased a new flat top stove and needed a good flat bottom Teakettle. Bought this Teakettle cause it matched my dinnerware and wanted a 2 1/2 quart Teakettle. Teakettle looked Great but soon realized that it was the worst pouring Teakettle I have ever used. Advertised as 2 1/2 quart and it does hold 2 1/2 quarts but has a sticker "Max Fill" that is just over 2 cups. After using it I assume the reason for the Max Fill sticker is that this Teakettle cannot pour without dripping when the level is over 2 cups. This kettle "SUCKS" I have to wipe the counter and bottom of Teakettle everytime I pour out a cup until the level drops below 2 cups. Think Corelle needs to go back to the drawing board on this Teakettle. Only gave it 1 star cause system would not let me give it a ZERO!

This kettle works well. It quickly heats water, and when the water begins to boil, the kettle starts to whistle very very loudly. It is somewhat difficult to clean. The cap is also hard to insert and remove; I usually just pour water in through the spout.

I like this teakettle. It holds alot, pours out well and looks pretty on my stove. The only flaw is the "whistle". Not my idea of a whistle. It sounds more like water through rusted pipes. What a strange sound it makes. I'm hoping I'll get used to it but the first time I heard it was quite startling, to say the least. LOL
