This latest experience is a reminder of why. If I had read these reviews first, I would have been forewarned.
Quite simply, the kettle does not whistle. The box says, "Strong, loud whistle" but the kettle itself remains silent. The cap over the spout has a hole in it, with nothing across it or over it that might induce a whistle. Perhaps it is a mute whistle, for use at tea parties in Carthusian monasteries. I have a half-century of experience with tea kettles and have known them lose their whistle, have a poor whistle or even too loud a whistle, but this is the first I have seen that was born utterly whistleless. I'll now look for another kettle and yes, I will read the reviews first. 20 of 21 people found the following review helpful: This review is from: KitchenAid 2.25-Quart Tea Kettle, Green Apple (Kitchen) It's beautiful and I love the look of it. But I specifically spent the extra money so that I would have a GOOD tea kettle that whistles. It sputters, it spits, it hisses (a little, if the water is really rolling), but it doesn't whistle. I read the reviews and knew this was a possibility; I had just hoped mine would be different. It wasn't. :( 23 of 26 people found the following review helpful: By Mimi "Super Momma" (So. Cali) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: KitchenAid Teakettle 2-1/4-Quart Porcelain Enamel on Steel Soft Grip Kettle, Red (Kitchen) Since I've taken up tea drinking again and my kids love hot cocoa in winter, I decided to invest in a nicer kettle. I chose this one because it had so many good reviews and I'm glad I did. I love the color and shape, it is a breeze to clean and fill, and it's easy to pour. I haven't had any trouble with spilling, and I do like the silicone around the handle - although I wish they made the silicone cover the entire handle instead of just middle.
Overall, I'd buy it again. |
