Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Over the years, I have bought and broke at least 10 of these flimsy things. These are the ONLY style glass whistling tea kettles on the market. Glass is easy to see, easy to clean, and does not add its own flavors to the brew.
I am neither clumsy nor hard on things. But these tea kettles crack and break if they are so much as lightly tapped by another dish or cup. They are way too fragile for any normal functioning kitchen.
They do exactly what they say they will do: They whistle loudly and they boil water just fine. The handle can get hot, but for that, use a mitt. Just expect that you will have to buy a new pot every few months.
Why Anchor Hocking or Pyrex does not realize they are missing the boat on such an item, I do not know. Hundreds of thousands of people look for glass tea kettles in which to both boil their water and then brew the tea. It seems to me it's a no-brainer that if so many people are willing to keep shelling out money to buy these exceptionally fragile things at anywhere between $9.00-16.00 (American dollars), they'd be very willing to spend a lot more to buy one made of the study, tempered glass that Anchor Hocking and Pyrex produce.
Since you apparently won't have any other choice if you want a whistling glass tea kettle, this is the style you will be forced to purchase. Maybe if enough people complain (and quit buying them), they will have to come up with a sturdier glass. As for me, I decided I'd give up the whistle and boil my water in an old Pyrex Coffee Percolator I found on-line. Leave out the glass perc-stem, boil your water, add your tea, and enjoy. Incidentally, the Pyrex pot I bought was made in the 1960s--definitely a work horse made for a real kitchen.
