“ The majority of users appreciate the kettle's ability to clearly show the boiling process due to its glass construction, highlighting both its beauty and functional appeal for monitoring tea strength. However, several reviews raise safety concerns, including a lid that can dangerously pop off when boiling and handles or lids that get excessively hot, necessitating caution or the use of a towel to prevent burns. There's also a notable absence of a whistle, which leads to the risk of overboiling if not vigilantly monitored. Durability is a mixed aspect; while many find it sufficiently robust, others have experienced breakage or expressed desires for thicker glass. Despite these issues, many users celebrate its easy maintenance, aesthetic charm, and the pure taste it delivers, making it a favored choice among tea enthusiasts who are willing to manage its quirks. ”
“ I ordered this kettle to avoid the aluminum in my tea, and it fit the job, nicely. But I had a problem with the kettle when it was finished boiling. If you don't watch it like a hawk, then it overflows and will blow the lid right off. I got burned with hot water one time, and twice, my children were near it when the lid flew off. If you have smaller children, and cannot babysit your kettle, I would suggest you find a different kind with a whistle.
Also, the shape of the spout is not user friendly. If you are pouring boiling water, almost everytime it gushes out and burns you. I just think there needs to be another option than this one. ”
“ I really like this kettle. When the kettle gets hot, so does everything else. (be careful that you don't burn yourself) ”
“ I'm 50/50 about this. I like: easy to clean, can see the water about to boil, comfortable to fill and hold. Dislikes: handle can get hot, lid gets very hot (take it off before pouring--it has fallen off onto my hand--ouch!), doesn't have a whistle. I continue to use it because it's as good as most of the rest, but will still look for the perfect kettle. ”
“ I love the look of this kettle. You can watch the water boil and it looks great on the stove. The one down side is that it's very fragile. I broke off the spout within 1 month of purchase...but I'm getting another - with an extended warranty! ”
“ Water boils fast and we know it's clean because it is glass, but the handle gets hot. ”
