Borosilicate Glass Stove Top Whistling Tea Kettle - 12 Cup/48oz Capacity - BPA-Free - German Made Glass Kettle for Gas, Electric, and Glass Ranges

This glass is perfect, i’ve switched everything to glass. I like cleaning it after I boil the water so it doesn’t collect the calcium deposits. It’s beautiful clean, and the whistle is loud enough to hear, but not annoying beautifully made.

My stove has a small burner that fits this pot perfectly, doesn't even get the handle warm on the high heat setting. Those that melted the handle...DAH! Great addition to my kitchen, super functional heating hot water quickly. Totally recommend as long as you can figure out how not to put the handle over the heating element...I use this every day, 5 Star +

I love this kettle, I use it all of the time. I like the shape and I find it very practical to use, and it seems very durable - the only reason that I bought a second one is that I forgot it on the stove; otherwise, I expect that it would have lasted forever. Even then, the kettle itself remained intact, although the plastic lid partially melted. To me, it heats adequately quickly, the whistle is loud enough (as long as you aren't stupid enough to forget it and start working in the backyard) and I haven't had a problem with the lid melting (as long as you don't overheat it without water).

Product is as promised , works well but handle does get hot.

I got tired of using tea kettles to heat water for my coffee and tea because the hard water we have here ends up, destroying the metal and leaving a terrible taste. I now use these clear glass laboratory grade tea kettles. Easy to clean and I’ve never had one break from being overheated. They do break occasionally, though if I inadvertently bang it on the stove, which is why I always have two on hand. I am such a coffee addict that I cannot bear to not have clean glassware for the right flavor.

A wonderful tea, kettle, and priced great!!

Works fine, does not whistle.

I bought this kettle after my old metal kettle became damaged. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a kettle and this one was very attractively priced - and it is attractive in appearance. I like being able to see the water inside boiling and I do like being able to see how clean it is inside. But there are definite things that a buyer should be aware of. In the seller's defense, those are, for the most part, spelled out in the product description. It is my fault I guess that I did not read the product description more carefully. On the other hand, I was in a hurry and I was simply buying an inexpensive tea kettle and simply placed it in my Amazon cart the same way I would my shopping basked in a retail store. The first thing to be aware of is that it has a plastic handle that extends downward parallel to the pot. This means one has to be extremely careful about the flame height otherwise the handle will become too hot to hold. The instructions recommend using an oven mitt of some sort to hold the handle if it is too warm - but I find using such a mitt to be a bit clunky and the reduced grip makes me feel a bit more cautious/nervous given the kettle contains boiling water. That means that one has to use a lower flame - which adds to the amount of time it takes to bring the water to a boil. The other thing to be aware of is that there is a minimum fill line on the kettle of 24 ounces. I mostly use the kettle to boil water for an individual cup of tea at a time, not an entire potful. Having to boil three cups of water so that I can use just a cup's worth for my tea is not efficient. It means that I have to wait that much longer for the water to boil (especially given that I have to use a lower flame). Plus it means that, during the summer, I am adding that much extra heat to my kitchen. And while the cost of water is negligible, I use a Brita pitcher to filter away the nasty taste my local tap water sometimes has. Those filters are only able to process a finite amount of water per day and every cup of water you pour through it shortens its life. And if you are in a place where a Brita pitcher is not enough to offset tap water taste and you rely on store bought bottled water, using 24 ounces of water to boil just 8 ounces on a regular basis will require you to lug more bottles from the store than you would otherwise have to. Also, the 24 ounce minimum boil amount is problematic if you are using a recipe that calls for 8 ounces of boiling water. That basically means that one would need to measure the boiling water out into a separate measuring cup. But that is not just clunky - but it increases the risk of some sort of spillage or slippage that could result in a nasty scald. Therefore, I end up using a regular pan if I need to boil less than 24 ounces of water. That kind of defeats the purpose of having a kettle plus pouring boiling water from a pan is a bit clunky in its own right. Finally, for the whistle to work one has to place a plastic lid over the opening to the kettle. When the kettle boils one then has to remove the lid in order to pour it. There is no opening in the lid that one can pour the water through. So, that, too, adds an extra layer of clunky to it. Unlike my old metal kettle which required me to remove the lid to add water, with this one I have to remove the lid a second time to pour and then remember to place it back after I am finished. Not a big deal in and of itself - but unnecessary clunky steps over the course of a day add up and I try to avoid them when I can. More importantly, the lid can become quite hot so removing before pouring has to be done gingerly. Again, another layer of clunky. Your situation might very well be different than mine. And some people have a lot more tolerance for clunky than I do. I even know people who LIKE things being clunky with extra steps and such. So I don't want to suggest that it is somehow a bad product. But it ended up not being a good fit for my needs. Also, I am not sure why the risk of my accidentally bumping the kettle against something when I filling it with water and breaking the glass didn't occur to me to the degree it should have. I find myself having to be much more careful and focused while I am filling it with water or when I am cleaning it than I would a metal kettle. Here, too, not a huge deal in and of itself - but it is just one more out of many things one has to pause and take extra care and attention to. Over the course of the day, those things can add up - to the degree one doesn't have to worry about as many of them one tends to get more "miles to the gallon" in terms of one's mental energy.
