Cuisinart BA-170 Classic 2-Quart Whistling Kettle

for some reason i also need it to be known that this kettle does not whistle.
I thought it was missing some part to cover the spout so the steam escapes from the lid whistle...it does not. Cuisinart says it's just the kettle, nothing else comes with it.
I gave it a 2 because it looks nice. otherwise it would have been 1.
and while waiting for it to whistle, the handle became very hot.

I read the reviews about the kettle not whistling but that doesn't worry me a bit as I can boil H2O just fine without sound effects. I chose this kettle because of Cuisinart quality with a 100% corrosion proof stainless interior. The kettle does not disappoint and is cute to boot. I boil water for tea daily with no problems.

There is no way to make this kettle whistle, even when the water is filled up inside past the pouring spout, so no steam can escape through the spout, the lid still does not whistle. It is simply a design flaw. Otherwise it would have been the perfect kettle, beautiful, functional, handle high enough to not get too hot to hold, and easy to pour. We had to send it back. The most beautiful kettles don't whistle. It seems that in order to make a kettle do that, the designers have to create an ugly contraption , squat, lousy-pouring , tricky triggers, and handles that burn one's hand. How long has civilization been making water kettles?
