I drink tea thru the day like many folks drink coffee, and I wanted to get away from making it by the cup in the microwave. I have been looking for a larger capacity pot that I could heat the water on the stove , and plop in teabags or loose tea in a strainer, let it get good and strong, and reheat thru the day....at a reasonable price. Finally found this one and purchased it right away. It shipped quickly and was here 2 days later. It has all the attributes I was looking for and more. Solid and well made but not overly heavy. Holds over 2 quarts. Easy to clean. Fits flat on my glass-top stove, doesn't take long to heat water up at a medium setting, and I can warm it up whenever I want a cup. It's big enough I could have friends over for a "tea party". It's very attractive too....if a teapot could be considered sexy looking this one is for sure. Thank you Chefs Unlimited!

Terrible product as this is supposed to be stainless steel and after six months it is rusting inside. The top piece is plastic and held on by a screw and after many hot waters the screw came loose and when I went to tighten it stripped out the inside of the plastic and now it is useless. I guess this is what you get when it is manufactured in CHINA!!!

This tea kettle is very cute, and as stated by other reviewers, it makes a surprisingly loud sound as soon as it is placed on the burner. Be careful - if the lid is not pushed down with enough force to seat it tightly, the whistle won't work. The handle does get hot, depending on how high the gas flame is. It is necessary to completely upend the kettle in order to get the water at the bottom out, which is awkward. It's thinner metal than my previous kettle and seems to take longer to heat up. My preference would also be that the company logo was not so prominent, but that probably doesn't bother most people. I bought it because I wanted a black kettle of this size, and I like it, though it isn't my "dream kettle".

Beautiful kettle. When it originally arrived, the whistle cap did not whistle, and the grip ring broke. I contacted the company, and they quickly replaced it, which was greatly appreciated: good service! It works perfectly now, and makes my habitual tea addiction that much more enjoyable. Very happy with both product and swift service. Recommended!

I bought this tea pot based on seller ratings, not really sure what to expect. I received the pot quickly and in good condition. It is lighter than I expected (the lid is especially light weight), but overall it appeared to be acceptable quality. I made a pot of tea and discover a few thing. The handle gets hot, too hot to pour without a towel and the whistle didn't work. I remembered an email I got from Chefs Limited asking if everything was ok so I thought I would try it to get a new whistle. I sent the email on a Sunday and had a response by Monday; I was surprised. They asked for my mailing address and in a couple of days I received a small package that contained two whistles. Both worked. The pot it self is very good looking and does everything you would expect without any problems. I would have given the pot a slightly lower rating, but the service was so good and I am now very satisfied with my purchase. I have no problem recommending this tea pot.
