Title: Flimsy and quiet; not what it used to be
Review: I'm very unhappy with this product compared to the (allegedly) same product I bought literally decades ago. I recycled the old one (and on second thought wish I hadn't) because I felt I'd left it one too many times on the burner without any water in it; also, it looked very scuzzy inside. I knew as soon as I lifted the new one out of the box that it was much more cheaply made. It feels lighter and just doesn't look or feel as solid or well constructed. All of that wouldn't matter much if it worked OK, but it doesn't. I can barely (and sometimes not at all) hear the whistle from the next room; my hearing is fine but I really liked the loudness and beautiful two-tone, train-like whistle on my old teakettle. I called the company and they very graciously sent me a new whistle, but that hasn't solved the problem and I'm probably going to just give up. I think that, once again, "They just don't make them like they use to!"
Is the review positive or negative?
