User Rat­ings and Reviews

5 Stars IRe­vere 2 1/3 Quart Whistling Ket­tle
I looked all over for this tea ket­tle. I let my other one go dry and burned the whis­tle off. I like that it is durable and not ornate. Cop­per bot­tom makes it heat fast.

5 Stars Works Great
Even though the man­u­fac­ture says to empty water out of the pot after use, which is incon­ve­nient, it works great and the cop­per bot­tom con­ducts heat rapidly.

3 Stars Not the best.…
I have had this ket­tle for less than 1 year (about 4–5 months less). It boils water and whis­tles as expected but the qual­ity is less than per­fect. The flap that opens to let you pour the water has always felt less than secure. This morn­ing, I noticed that one of the pins hold­ing the flap in place is com­ing out. I tried to push it back in with no luck. So, it boils water but does not stand up to reg­u­lar use!!

2 Stars Cheap Infe­rior Chi­nese Ver­sion
6 Cup Teaket­tle Revere 6-Cup Whistling Tea Kettle

Yes. It says Revere. The bot­tom is stamped “CHINA.”

For years I had a 6 cup Revere teaket­tle. It was and is a good, sub­stan­tial ket­tle with a nice loud whis­tle. When you depress the but­ton just so, the spout stays open. This makes the ket­tle easy to use. A friend admired it and so I left the ket­tle behind when I moved from NY to Florida.

This infe­rior Chi­nese ver­sion has an softer, weaker whis­tle and the but­ton must be held down to pour. I can­not be cer­tain, but the ket­tle feels lighter. Thin­ner mate­ri­als? Even the embossed “Paul Revere” seems fainter — per­haps from shame?

This is yet another exam­ple of a very good prod­uct now being made where design, engi­neer­ing, and true qual­ity are unknown.

I would return this if I could find a more sub­stan­tial prod­uct, regard­less of the price.

The prod­uct descrip­tion should clearly state the coun­try of ori­gin, CHINA.

I can­not rec­om­mend this to any­one. I will he check­ing ebay, garage sales, and flea mar­kets for the REAL Revere teakettle.

2 Stars Cute, but ter­ri­ble in func­tion
I bought this at a local hard­ware store for $10 with a 50% off coupon. I’d be pretty angry if I had paid full price.

It is quite cute and looks good on my stove top. But that’s as far as it goes.

1. Fill­ing it up is dif­fi­cult, as the actual spout is the only open­ing.

2. If filled almost to capac­ity, the whis­tle will not work and boil­ing water will erupt from the spout instead.

3. The han­dle is short and smooth/slippery, and EXTREMELY hot! A pot holder must be used when pour­ing… hope­fully one that will not allow the han­dle to slip out! And you need to push the “open” but­ton at the same time.

4. The actual spout is short and on top of the tea ket­tle. Think about it. This ket­tle prac­ti­cally needs to be turned upside down to pour, and hot water still drib­bles down the front because the spout is ridicu­lously short and upright.

5. Clean­ing the inte­rior is impos­si­ble due to the spout being the only opening.

I really wanted to like this tea ket­tle. It’s so cute. But it’s prob­a­bly the least func­tional tea ket­tle I’ve ever encoun­tered. In all, I should prob­a­bly rate it at 0 stars, but I rate it 2 stars for just being cute.

I would not rec­om­mend this prod­uct to any­one. There are many other cute tea ket­tles that work better.
