Description of ๐Ÿ”ต Alessi Kettle, 9-inch Height x 8.5-inch Width x 8.5-inch Depth, Blue Color, Model 9093

A beautiful little bird adorns the spout of this kettle and whistles when contents boil. Designed in 1985 by Michael Graves; crafted with an 18/10 stainless-steel body. Handle and whistle in durable PA resin; choose from blue or ivory handles. Wider base lets water boil more quickly, making it a favorite for busy, modern-day users. Measures 8-1/2 inches in diameter and 9 inches high; hand wash only; both whistling bird and lid can be replaced.

Buyers pay attention to kitchen and dining items

This is a cheap, probably Chinese fake. The Alessi logo is off-center and also crooked. Save some money and visit Alessi's website to get a real one. And yes, it's more expensive, $190, but original. Too bad Revain is becoming more and more of a place for fake products. I've been a Revain customer for over 10 years and this is the first review I've ever written, but I don't want others to be disappointed when they purchase this product.

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Disappearing

Beautiful on the outside, rusty on the inside

My wife has wanted this kettle for years and we finally bought it. It's really pretty to look at, and the exterior trim is surprisingly easy to keep looking new. BUT, she was heartbroken when she started to rust. This supposedly high-quality stainless steel teapot is rusting on the inside at the seams. Keep an eye on the interior and return it early for a replacement as despite the premium price, Alessi has no interest in supporting their production past 24 months. I would also like to confirmโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Keep your fingers crossed for me
Cons
  • No power

The bird whistle needs to be upright to work well

I love my kettle and use it every day. This is my second, first after years of use that just didn't look as good as it used to. The new kettle had such a tight lid that it was difficult to take it off and put it back on to fill it. My solution was to fill it through the spout. In the long run this actually ensured a snug fit to the top and my whistle worked flawlessly. One note though: the bird MUST be fully upright or it will not function well. Also, be sure to completely drain the remainingโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Compatibility

Disappointing as a teapot Alessi Michael Graves

Despite the teapot's quirky and elegant design, this so-called 'stainless' teapot has a dull, sticky film on the outside that renders it dull and unsightly. Over time we hoped it was just a protective film that could be polished/washed off to reveal a smooth, smooth stainless steel finish. There is no such happiness. We bought a 2015 teapot for $183 after watching an interview with Michael Graves on CBS on a Sunday morning and the film never faded. We were so disappointed and have now revivedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Brilliant performance
Cons
  • Expensive insurance

Poor design, form over function

I bought this to replace the nicely designed but not whistling Alessi that I've been using for years. Since my kitchen is open to the living room, I wanted a teapot with a nice design. Since I'm often in another room when the water is boiling, I need a whistle. This teapot is an example of poor design in both form and function. It comes with "directions". Do not wash in the dishwasher. Remove the whistle before pouring, but wait until the bursts of steam have stopped (you'll need an oven mittโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Damaged

Looks great but has a critical lack of vapor performance.

I love the design of this kettle. It's beautiful, stylish and so representative of Italian luxury design. I had one for many years until it boiled over a few months ago because the whistle wasn't very loud and I was distracted to another part of the house; All the plastic melted and the kettle had to be returned due to loss. I bought another one from Revain and found the whistle was again lacking power and a few weeks later I ended up in Milan and went to the Alessi store to buy another birdโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Zero

BAD EXPERIENCE AND GETTING WORSE!

I ordered this kettle, our second in many years and it arrived at the end of May 2020 (just a few months ago). My wife burned her hand this morning when a plastic bird melted in her sink. It appears to have melted around the metal inserts that allow it to be attached to the spout. From day one this kettle didn't look like it was of the same quality as the one we ordered a few years ago. I wrote to Direct Brands about Revain, explaining my problem and asking for a replacement bird. However, Iโ€ฆ

Pros
