Title: Heats quickly...whistle is beyond awful
Product review: Picked up the "onyx"-colored one at Bed Bath & Beyond (same price as Amazon), after seeing this kettle recommended in "The Week" magazine for having a nice whistle. Stylish design..Put it on our gas stove and it heated quickly but the whistle is terrible! When it's about to go off, it sounds like someone gradually whistling from a low note to an ear-piercing high note. Drives us and our Golden insane: it honestly almost hurts your ears. Plus, the handle and "trigger" to pull the spout up is made of plastic and both were warm, almost hot to the touch after it came to a boil.Per the other reviews, I could see the plastic melting on this. Maybe it's not designed for gas stoves. (We were using one of the largest burners, I guess...)Great looking kettle and fast-heating but considering the reviews about parts melting (causing the whistle to stop working after a while), plus the insanely loud noise it makes, we're taking this one back.
