Revere 6-Cup Whistling Tea Kettle

Comment: I ordered the 6-cup version of this tea kettle based on the number of people who said that the handle did not get hot.

THEY LIED!!! If you boil a nearly-full pot, you cannot touch the handle, it's so hot!!!

Also it seems to take a long time to boil 6-cups of water.

I don't know if there are any better tea kettles out there, but I do NOT recommend this one.

Comment: I've lived with/endured a number of cheap enameled teakettles since I was a newlywed (back in the early 1980s). They all had removable lids, which made them easy to fill; however, they all tended to be on the small side, and would eventually develop thick hard-water deposits on the inside (and those hard-water deposits were the one thing keeping the cheap, thin metal they were made out of from burning through and leaking!). When the handle of the latest cheap teakettle melted/fell off after less than 2 weeks, I'd finally had enough. The RevereWare teakettles were the best-rated of the less-expensive teakettles on Consumer Search, and they came in 3 different sizes. This 3.5 quart size most closely resembled what I remembered of my mom's old teakettle from when I was a little girl, so I ordered it. I love the large capacity! It's great for multiple cups of coffee/tea/single-serve ramen noodles in a cup/etc., and it's also a good size for keeping boiled water on hand when there's a boil order in town. The spout is slightly less convenient for filling the teakettle than a lid would have been, but it's a nice large spout (I stick a finger inside to feel the water level when refilling). I haven't owned this long enough yet to have to scrub the copper bottom clean; however, since it's the only piece of copper-bottom cookware I own at this point, it shouldn't be too tedious to clean just one thing. Highly recommended!

Comment: This is the largest capacity teakettle I good find and at the best price. It seems durable--we had one of these years ago that held up for a long time (with daily use). The whistle is not too loud and shrill. The first one arrived with the whistler detached and I could not get it stay in place. Amazon promptly sent out a new one and gave easy directions for returning the defective one at their cost. I was very pleased with the service.

Comment: This was exactly the size I wanted to sit on the stove top and be used by one person. It came very quickly. Am very pleased and satified.

Comment: This Revere Copper Bottom Teakettle is the best. It reminds me of my childhood and the kind of Teakettle that was used in our home. I love the fact that it holds a lot of water and stays hot for along time. The whistle is terrific (as you can hear it througout the house). I drink multiple cups of tea a day and this is by far the most wonderful teakettle I have ever owned. I am so gratefult o have it.
