The quality of the kettle is bad. It appears that the joint was not properly sealed. This should not be happening for a kettle at this price point. Read more

This would have to be one of the best kettles on the market. A lot of people didn't like the idea that is is made in China, If it was made in America it would probably be more than twice the price for the same kettle. It is made too All-Clad specifications and beautifully made, it has an extremely highly polished surface and manufactured to a very high standard indeed. It uses 18/10 or 316 stainless steel which is a very high grade for kitchen utensils, very resistant to the effects of dissolved minerals in your drinking water. I use it on my induction stove where it boils a full kettle in around 7 minutes. The handle doesn't even get warm, even after repeated boiling of the kettle, it would proberly get warm on a gas stove, and it states in the included information to use a pot holder to pick up the boiled kettle. For the people who use it on a gas stove, if you allow the flame or have it positioned where the heat from the burner goes up onto the spout, when the water boils the spout will be at a higher temperature than the boiling water so when you pour the water out it will spit, you need to position the kettle better over the burner so this doesn't happen. The whistle is more than loud enough to hear when it has boiled. The centre of the whistle is spring loaded so as the steam pressure increases in the kettle it can release excess pressure bypassing the whistle. The lid is a firm fit, if it was a loose fit it may blow off if the steam pressure got to high in the kettle, so this is a safety feature of the lid. I can see this kettle will be in my kitchen for many years come. My daughter came over the other day and that was the first thing she saw in my kitchen, she was also very impressed with the look and quality of the kettle. It was a bit pricey but you have to spend sometimes to get real quality. You won't be disappointed with this high quality kettle. Read more

Pfeift nicht mehr, weil der Deckel nicht mehr schließt und das schon nach einem halben Jahr Benutzung. Read more

I bought one of these a few years back at TJ Maxx. Back then All-Clad was still made in the US. It had a brilliant whistle that I could hear in the next room. I bought this one on Amazon because I couldn't find it at the Williams Sonoma store and I love it so much I wanted a back up. Seriously, I went through multiple kettles in less than 12 months before I found this All-Clad back in the Spring of 2017. As soon as I saw it sitting on the display I knew it was the one kettle I could own that would actually last. And it has. But this one, as beautiful as it is, and it heats water just as well, it does not whistle. The steam flows all around the spout and yes, it does rise up through the whistle, but alas, no whistle sound. I don't want to send it back because it's so beautiful. It's all shiny stainless steel and very strong looking. But I really do want it to work. And I'm disturbed to read one review that shows photos of the interior of the bottom peeling. I've never heard of such a thing. I've given 5 stars hoping the replacement will not have any problems and because from the looks of it, it is well made. I'll update the review when the replacement arrives. In the meantime, I can say don't hesitate to buy it but keep all the packaging and the boxes. I'm glad I did even though my first thought was that there weren't going to be any problems. Fingers crossed the replacement will be perfect. Update: Amazon had an amazing return on this. I clicked on 'replacement' and it was on it's way and delivered in two days right to my door about 15 minutes ago. It's whistling like it should. Fingers crossed it lasts a very long time. Read more
