It does take longer to boil water since it directs you to heat at medium heat and no hotter, but that is not a big deal

It holds a good amount of water, has stayed relatively deposit-free so far in my horrible hard water, and is easy to use and clean.

So you boil the water, and then you have to take off this tightly-packed plastic lid.

This is a nice size tea kettle; I like it because I can easily see the water level and its easy to keep clean.

This is just hot clear water no metal after taste.

This took 10 minutes to boil using cold water from the tap and filled to about 8 cups and the whistle is almost nonexistent

One is that the handle is too hot to hold by the time the water reaches a boil

Heats water quickly but most important, the water is clean and free of chemicals that other teapots leach into your water

Best water kettel ever

if you have rusty water don't buy

Keeps water fresh tasting

i have boiled water in it perhaps 200 times until this happened.

I mostly use the kettle to boil water for an individual cup of tea at a time, not an entire potful.

I put super hot steaming tap water in up to the 6 cup mark and it took 6 minutes to boil, still no whistle

All the water boiled out, and the plastic in the lid started to melt

The water was warm enough for me after waiting awhile, but certainly not close to boiling and definitely not enough to cause it to whistle

Like that I can see when the water is almost boiling

Shortly after buying this I was in another room when the product was not in use and it cracked spilling water all over my stove.

It also keeps the water hot for an amazing length of time.

The next issue is trying to hold the handle with the pot holder while you pull the HOT black top off to pour the water ( no there is no opening for the water to pour without removing the top ) all while trying not to drop the unit or splash scolding hot water on yourself

It boils water very quickly and screams

Also wipe the top off after pouring so as not to get hard water strains on your spout, takes only a second

Plus you can see the water level and cleanliness of the water inside ( something floating etc.).

See through glass is excellent and fun to watch as the water starts to boil.

I boil the water in this Whistling Tea Kettle and then pour into my Teabloom (purchase on Amazon

when it whistled, i went to pour the hot water and saw a vertical crack nearly the entire circumference of the pot.

When the water is ready, you must remove the plastic topper to pour the tea which is incredibly hot and often sprays water at you when removed

It stays clean and one visual advantage is that, as the water gets to boiling, I can see it

I’ve only used water and wash it after every use; I know we have hard water, but it’s much more obvious with the glass kettle.

We have hard water that leaves a residue but it cleans up in seconds with white vinegar.

I like that you can see the water just before boiling—benefit of glass

She both made tea in the pot, and used it to generate hot water for tea made in her cup.

Water boils quickly and stays warm for a while.

You cannot even hold it after you boil water without injuring yourself

Works great to boil water

boil water away and ruin pot.i like

I just wanted hot water I would put water in a pan and boil it.

I use it to mainly boil water for tea and make tea.

I thought the ring would cause a longer waiting time for the water to reach a boil, but I have not noticed a difference in time for water to reach a boil

Very durable, heats water fast, and I can brew tea right inside

I like the fact you can see and clean the insideunlike metal pots that are easy to ignore hard water build up.

This glass kettle makes us feel like we are consuming much cleaner water

The lid has to be removed before pouring, which causes HOT water to splash on the stove and me

We live in an area with hard water and minerals deposit quickly

We use this only to boil water to make ice tea

Now I don’t use my pot to boil water anymore

You do not boil anything that is not water in there, you absolutely do not boil in high heat (it will melt the handle--as some people mentioned it happened to them), you need to boil in medium heat, the handle does not get hot so you can pour water into your cup right after it boils

I live in a hard water

I typically boil water for coffee and tea in one of them, while using two more to make a half-gallon each of tea, which I then immerse in a sink full of cold water, and then place them in the fridge to make iced tea.

We love our tea kettle, the water heats up fast.

Finally - a great carafe to boil water right on the stove

The 1500W electric burner worked for more than half a hour and raised the kitchen temperature 5 degrees than the other rooms but the water never got boiled

Using it every day to boil water on a propane stove

It says not to put the stove higher than medium, so I cannot see it possible that the water will ever be hot enough to make it whistle

I purchased this glass carafe to be more "healthy-earth- conscience" , but very happy that it works just a good as any other materials used to boil water, we use multiple times a day and its fun seeing thru the glass as water boils, only disappointment is that it doesn't whistle loud, its more like a soft whistle

If you have hard water, expect an unappealing foggy appearance in just a few uses.

I just wanted hot water I would put water in a pan and boil it.

I love being able to see that the water is nice and clean

Takes a while to boil water as you can only use medium heat on smallest burner.

Like that the water is visible and easy to clean, inexpensive to purchase.

We mostly boil water for either tea or french pressed coffee

Great for boiling hot water, whistling is not loud enough for me, unfortunately my sense of hearing for my age isn’t that great

Pretty hot water and steam.

The water from the utility is soft and clean... dishes after washing, if left on the dish rack to dry would dry without spots

I use this pot to provide hot water to my french press coffee maker

I like it because I can see that the water is clean.

Love the whistle and glass hot water pot

That leaves me with no whistle indicating the water is ready

For that reason when I fill the teapot, I fill it with warm water from the tap, not hot or cold

After heating, it was just as difficult to get lid off and got splashed with hot water when the top did come off

Not sure how they can change this, but i am already tired of splashing hot water all over the place when I forget to remove when filling my cup

I have started using the pot to boil water for things other than tea and coffee such as noodles, rice, and instant potatoes

Burn distilled water only!

However, this glass kettle takes a LOT more time to boil water

Hard water does accumulate inside and out if allowed to build up on the glass.

Even when the water is boiling hot the handle is not too hot to pick the kettle up without a pot holder.

and I can see water starting to boil

Today, I boiled water and let the tea steep in the pot; not the first time either

Perfect for warming water for tea

At least it boils the water, even though I have to wait at least 10 minutes for that to happen

so you know you're drinking pure water - unlike electric kettles and so forth.

She watches the water boil and loves to hear the whistle blows.

I have had three glass stove-top kettles, and they all had this strange burst of water when they got to a certain temp and blew up water all over the stove (the glass didn't break, just blew up the water all over).

i will do my homework before buyingthis tea pot will be used for something else not boiling water

It is very easy to clean and you can actually watch the water start to boil

, i was using it to make my usual cup of instant coffee by boiling the water in it.

I use this to solely boil water for my vanilla

There's nothing safer than glass when it comes to a kettle that is used to boil water multiple times each day.

This is the only one I've had that does not do this, and it boils water just fine.

Other wise is nice could make lid so you can pour out of instead of having to take off when water is hot!

You have to take the top off to pour the hot water out

Also the clear glass build is very nice, I can see how much water I need, and when the water is hot

If you want clean water for your coffee, this is the way to go

It does take longer to boil water in this though, directions state to NOT put it on super high heat

I like that I can see the water and what needs to be clean

I live in a mountainous region, which had horrible, unfiltered water, and came to the conclusion that, all of that stuff was due to unfiltered water.

Not for old folks like me as I need kitchen gloves to hold the handle and keep from touching the hot surface glass and the other hand with thick cloth or gloves to support the (hot) bottom part of the kettle while pouring hot water into a tea cup

One month after having bought it, the lid melted when I was boiling some water

Being glass the water is always clean.

I also have no problem removing the whistle top to pour boiling hot water

You can't use it on "high" heat only "medium" so it takes forever to boil water and you can't poor out the water with the lid

It boils the water and

This design is awkward is you have to remove the top (being careful not to spill any scolding hot water) to poor the water into a mug.

It enables me to boil water for my tea

I like the glass to boil water in rather than plastic or metal that could potentially leach Into my water

why is a lid melting on a tea kettle used to boil water??

We replace these only after we forget to turn the gas off and boil all the water out of the Kettle.

The water is perfect

We have very hard water that builds up and leaves a chochy , deposit in stanless steal

This design is awkward is you have to remove the top (being careful not to spill any scolding hot water) to poor the water into a mug.

BEEN LOOKING FOR A GLASS POT TO BOIL WATER IN

You can't use it on "high" heat only "medium" so it takes forever to boil water and you can't poor out the water with the lid

I like to make a pitcher of iced tea at a time, using tea bags in already boiling water which I then turn off and let steep in the kettle.

I'm not getting any chemicals or metals in my water, I love being able to see the water boil and the cleanliness of the inside of the tea kettle, and it is a great size for an average stove top

Bought for a gift to replace my dads single pot he used to boil water in, he loves this!

Calling out reviewer who claimed hot water splashed out on stove and whatnot

Nice product , reason I purchased was because I wanted a non-metal kettle for health reasons however the handle is defective, upon lifting the pot with about 24 oz of hot water inside , it gave in as I lifted and my knuckles pressed against hot surface of the glass

It is non-toxic and safe to boil water in.

For stubborn stains we soaked the kettle in vinegar, which really helped clean the glass, especially for the hard water staining.

did I just buy a third low-quality kettle or did I replace a fluke?Things to know:—The handle and lid are NOT insulated and will be scalding hot to the touch... which confuses me because this is a kettle... who makes a kettle with a handle you can’t use until your nice hot water is less hot?!—The interior requires flexible and large bottle brush to clean properly... the bowl shape carafe is aesthetic but weirdly tricky to

It's a Kettle to boil water for tea and coffee

Takes a while to boil water as you can only use medium heat on smallest burner.

The only thing to look out for is to not place your hand over the little hole on the top when it's boiling as it burns!

however I would suggest the range grates be free from defects as not to scratch the glass
