Review on ☕ OXO Brew Uplift Tea Kettle Anniversary Edition - Brushed Stainless Steel by Heather Armstrong

I like the techno look of this kettle and the mechanism opens the lid as advertised It has a dot play, which slightly reduces the sentiment cost. However, OXO really failed with the whistle. Other reviewers have stated that versions of this kettle released many years ago had a high-pitched whistle that was so loud that OXO decided to mute it. Well, they've gone too far, and now their teapots just hiss. At that price, why couldn't they turn on two whistles? I was able to get a soft teapot whistle by covering the bottom hole of the whistle with a piece of tape and piercing it as shown in the photo. . I have tried smaller and larger holes but only this size resulted in whistles. I removed the whistle to work with it and was able to test different configurations by gently blowing through it.
