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

This was a great buy! It works great and has no nasty chemicals leavhing into your tea. I think thr glass is on the thicker side and not fagile at all.

I'm very happy with this glass teapot. It works great, it whistles adorably, and it's excellent quality at a reasonable price. It does take a little longer to boil on medium heat, but I don't mind. It's totally worth the wait.

Have gone through a number of stainless steel tea kettles. Tired of them rusting. Happy with this glass one. You can see when it needs cleaning. You can easily see when it’s boiling and needs more water. If you have a large hand it won’t fit in the top to scrub it. Cleans quickly without scrubbing with white vinegar and lemon juice gently heated.

It is not easy to get the cover on so it stays snug to make the whistle sound. The sound is very low and when the water is hot the cover has to be removed to pour which can be tricky to keep feom getting burned from the steam.

I have had my new glass tea kettle only a few days but I love it. I have been using glass for years; it is the cleanest wayto heat water for tea. The size is perfect, and it looks so nice on the stovetop. I appreciate that it did not cost an armand a leg.

I love this kettle. Absolutely easy to clean. You can see if there is anything wrong with glass, or just lint inside. Boils in a very timely manner. I appreciate the clear, concise instructions. It's a sleek modern look that goes with everything in any kitchen. Glass that is used, is the best too.

I have had 2 of these one for about 20 years and one for about 10 years. I recently smacked one of them on a metal faucet filling it up. A small crack formed on the rim and several months later it broke. I ordered a new one and who knows if it will last as long as my old one but it looks almost identical (the printing fonts are different). I make a gallon of tea at a time by boiling the water in 2 of these then transferring the water into my brewing vessel. I use a gas stove to heat the water and have no experience with using them on an electric stove.Observations and concerns;The lid handle melts its not the best design, probably would be better to cut the little tab/handle off. If you leave it a while the whole lid can soften up. Not an issue for me because I dont use the lid as it doesnt work well if you fill the kettle up to the rim like I do. It never gave me a problem whistling but only good when its not full. I guess you need to decide how important that feature is to you.I have read in many reviews that the handle melts. It surely can its plastic, but I do a few things to prevent it from happening. I keep the flames from going up over the sides by lowering the gas. I also offset it so its not exactly centered on the burner to keep more heat away from the handle and finally there is a cast iron bar on my grates that angles inward and absorbs heat so i angle the handle to that spot. This has worked for me for 20 years after I noticed this happening. BTW use a pot holder to pick it up just in case, it can be hot enough to bother your hands. As Far as the glass breaking , its thin borosilic glass and you have to treat it with care but its still fairly rugged considering.One more note the glass says "Germany" not made in germany like the old one, so take that for what its worth.I am surprised this arrived in one piece just luck I suspect. It was in a cardboard box with a piece of brown paper thats it. I am happy to have a replacement (still cheap too, about the same price in the 90's) and will report back if there are any problems.

They sent a kettle with a lid that did not fit. We could push it down and force it to fit, but as the water heats up, the lid pops out and will not whistle. The whole purpose of getting a whistling kettle is because it whistles and let you know the water is boiling. The lid we were provided had three tabs. Instructions say that some should only have two tabs in order to fit correctly. First, we tried removing one tab, still popped out, no whistling. Then we removed another tab. Same result. We finally removed the third and last tab. The problem persists. This "whistling" kettle is useless because it will not whistle. I tried to contact their customer service, no answer and the mailbox is full.
