Medelco 12-Cup Glass Stovetop Whistling Kettle (1)

Yes, it looks like a diner throw back from the 60's but it's great!. The best feature is the the handle does not heat up. You can remove the teapot from the stove without using a potholder. It's easy to pour as the handle is on the side in the correct position for pouring, not on top of the kettle where the steam from the hot water burns your hand. The whistle is a mellow whistle not that shrill screech you get from most teapots. The shape is not domed so the water boils a bit faster as there is less "ait space" to heat in the pot. Easy to clean, it's borosilicate glass. I purchased 2 just because I liked it so much. So much better than any "fancy high end" teapot.

Heats well and cleaning is easy. Nice to see when the water is close to boiling and the whistle works! Nice for glass top electric stoves.

I bought one of these many years ago. I used it every day for so long I can't remember. I tried to figure out when I bought it, but my Quicken only goes back to 2008. When I finally needed this new one it was because I hit the old one on the stove and broke it. It IS glass. But I'm sure that I hit it on things before. It's good glass.

I have been using this brand for many years. Good kettle but needs care. Do not leave it boiling on the stove.

Makes hot water easy . You can see water starting to bubble. Easy to clean

My grandma has owned the exact same model and she's had it for over 20 years now. Her Medelco glass kettle is still going strong despite her being rough with it and using it with a gas stove for so many years. We were so happy using her kettle we sought out the same brand and product, and thank goodness we found it. Even though we have an electric stove, the glass kettle works just as well. Water heats up relatively quickly and the glass is resilient and is easy to clean. To clean it all we have to do is spray some vinegar on it and let it soak and all the blemishes wipe away with ease. Very happy with this kettle and hope we never have to replace it.

I dig this kettle. It’s not loud enough to hear across the yard but loud enough to hear in the other room or from the porch outside the kitchen. Heats quickly and the top is well designed.

Kettle is very nice but whistle top was much too tight to pull out easily. Replaced top with an old one which is much easier to remove. Was afraid i’d get burned attempting to pull out top when water was boiling hot.
