Kamenstein 2-1/2-Quart Whisle Tea Kettle, Red

 (10 customer reviews)

Quality is acceptable for the price. It is attractive! Be aware that the color is a dark red, or cranberry. It is not a bright red.

This kettle lasted about a week in my house. The rumbling noise it makes while the water is heating up is like a freight train going through the house. Then...to add insult to injury, it doesn't whistle. I had to go out and buy another last night because the rumbling was just too much for me. I think that it's perhaps the quality or thickness of the material used. It is very thin, much lighter than any other kettle I've ever had...so that may be why it rumbles like that. It's pretty...but too loud for this girl. I couldn't take it, and ended up turning off the water sooner than I should have and got luke warm drinks out of it. Very disappointing tea kettle. Spend a little more money on your kettle. You'll be glad you did.

I bought this after my Kitchen-Aid kettle bit the dust. I really wanted a kettle that could whistle... well, this kettle gave me a very faint whistle the first time I used it, and every subsequent use after that, the kettle has been silent. Such a disappointment! Oddly enough, I think this kettle takes LONGER to boil water than my ceramic Kitchen-Aid. You also have to be careful when opening the spout so you don't get burned. If you want something that holds water, this kettle will not fail to please. Unfortunately, I had slightly higher expectations for a WHISTLING tea kettle. I strongly recommend spending a little more for better quality!
