5 out of 5 stars The perfect kettle - looks and function   March 4, 2007

I bought the kettle for the gorgeous design and the great reputation of the Le Creuset brand. I read the reviews after I'd bought it and started to worry. There was no need. It works brilliantly.
I've had no problems with the whistle (though I find it sounds slightly louder when rotated according to the picture on the box) and it looks amazing. Of course it takes slightly longer than an electric kettle, but you expect that when you buy one that sits on the hob. Be realistic.
I'm over the moon with my new kettle, it's brilliant and works exactly as I expected it to. If you're tempted, buy one.

5 out of 5 stars Don't be put off from buying!   December 2, 2008

I needed a new Whistler for our new induction hob. Money being a bit tight near Christmas, I thought I would have a squiz at Amazon. This one was the cheapest listed, but as soon as I read the reviews my heart sank! - Still I needed a kettle & I thought I would risk it.

I am glad I did, because it came the next day and it has been excellent. Well made, boils the water very quicklly and I am so pleased with it. - So don't be put off from buying it!



4 out of 5 stars Whistling kettle   May 18, 2003
32 out of 41 found this review helpful

Now I get my hot drink when I originally wanted it! No more turning the electric kettle off and then being distracted by other activitites and ending up not getting the drink for another hour or so - and no more water which has been boiled for 4 or 5 times. Now the whistle whistles and it needs a response, so whilst turning it off the drink is made - however, one word of warning... don't put it on to boil as you perform your morning ablutions, hearing it whistle merrily whilst you are otherwise detained is murder!!!


3 out of 5 stars Doesn't live up to its looks   February 11, 2007

The kettle looks fabulous, which is the sole reason for the three stars. There are however two major flaws that let it down: It takes ages to boil and doesn't whistle. The fact that it takes ages to boil is particularly annoying when people like electricians / plumbers pop in and you want to offer them a quick cup of tea, because it tends to be the case that the kettle is just coming to the boil when they've done their job and are on their way out again. This is perhaps not a feature specific to this kettle, but all hob-top kettles in general. The fact that it doesn't whistle seems quite specific to this kettle (other reviews mention it as well). When our kettle comes to the boil, it tends to gurgle and hiss a bit, but that's about it. You'd think that with a device as simple as a kettle, the manufacturers would have at least made sure that it whistles. Nonetheless, three stars are warranted simply for its good looks.
