Review on 🍡 Home Basics 2.5-Liter Tea Kettle: Efficient & Stylish Pot for Brewing Perfect Tea by Gregory Flynt

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Doesn't whistle (Update: whistles now after a year of use)

Kettle is decent but doesn't whistle. That was the main reason for his purchase - to get a whistling kettle. The one I saw and wanted to emulate didn't have a lid like this one. Water entered and exited his mouth. It has a lid that will probably come in handy for cleaning and the like, but it messes up the vapor pressure because some of the vapor seeps through the lid. That's why this kettle whistles. very little, if at all. You really have to pay attention to hear it. This is a very faint and completely uncharacteristic whistling sound. Addendum: After about a year of use, the kettle suddenly began to whistle louder. It probably just had to be mysteriously cracked. Let's see how it works from now on.

Pros
  • Not just usable for its intended purpose
Cons
  • Nervous
