FreshAir™ Rapid Boil Stainless Steel 2.5 qt. Tea Kettle by Turbo Pot®, Time-and-Energy Saving Cookware for Gas Stove

We needed a new teakettle but could not go out shopping so tried buying on line. The negative reviews of the various brands and options had us concerned. We use the kettle every day for our tea. In the past we have found that the screws on the handle often loosen making the kettle unstable so were looking for a different construction. WE opted for this model because it looked sturdy and the handle construction was different.We have now been using it for about one month and love it. We have not had any trouble with the handle being hot, the whistle is loud enough to hear all over the house and it is easy to serve. Please note that it is a little heavy but you can't have it all, right?

Purchased as a replacement (due to normal wear and tear) of the same kettle type that was used for good few years. It is solid, heat resistant, elegant, easy to fill and clean. I disagree with reviews saying that it takes long time to boil the water in it. We use it on gas range and it boils water quickly. So far we are happy with purchase and do not see any difference with one it replaced.

The pot is well made and designed. I found it to heat the water on our gas stove in a noticeably shorter time than our other standard tea pots. The handle design was also better to prevent contact with hot surfaces. Yeah, spendy, but I sent back the first higher end tea pot and found this one. It was worth the extra money.

The item arrived in good condition and performs as advertised. It seems to heat quickly. Pours very nicely. It is a little heavy due to the aluminum fins on the bottom, but it's not terrible. It's easy to pour even with the weight, so long as there is a decent amount of water in the pot. It's nice that there aren't any screw/rivet holes in the sides - looks like it won't easily rust or corrode. It remains to be seen if the handle will hold up, and the knob on the lid could be attached better. Overall I am pleased for the price, and would rate it as "very good".

We recently got a new gas stove with a 22,000 BTU burner that can boil 2 cups of water in a big saucepan in under 2 minutes. Unfortunately our old kettle wasn't big enough to take advantage of the full flame (4-5 minutes for same amount of water), so we started looking at the fastest boiling kettle available for gas stoves.Simplex seems to be the gold standard, with the finned-aluminum bottom but the cost is $400-500. Williams Sonoma makes a Simplex knock-off for $200 which started looking good, then I discovered the TurboPot kettle for $65 and decided to give it a try.To be fair, we just got it, so I can't speak to how well it will hold up, but construction seems very solid and overall it seems very well made.The aluminum fins on the bottom really do seem to speed up the boil, with my 2-cup test coming in at 1 minute 45 seconds on the power burner, so I'm happy. I hope it holds up with the new silicon handle design (other reviews mention the hard plastic handle being a weak point).Also, the silicon handle and knob on the lids stay cool enough to handle without a hotpad which is nice.Overall it's a fantastic kettle if you have a gas stove.

The teapot is capacious and well balanced. It heats quickly and pours with no splashing and a minimum of steam blowback on the holding hand. The lid on the kettle is cheap pressed steel and needs to be wiped dry after each use to prevent corrosion and bonding to the container.

This kettle replaced one of those high-end brands with beige enamel exterior, that cost nearly three times as much. The first high-end one corroded on the inside within a few months; the replacement they sent developed weird brown splotches all over the exterior. So we got this turbo kettle, the same we've been using for a while at our other house. We LOVE IT. The design and function is perfectly thought out. Whistle is loud, pours without splatter, handle doesn't need a potholder, and it's stylin' too!

I purchased one of these for my wife a couple years ago and she uses it every day (sometimes twice). It has a good capacity and heats up really fast on our propane gas stove. She liked it so well that our mothers both wanted one too. We ordered them and gave them as Christmas gifts. The handle snapped off one of them in February, less than 2 months after they received it. I'm not sure if it was damaged in shipping or if it was a bad batch due to complications from the pandemic. Either way, it's not a great result. When I tried to contact them to get a replacement, they told me I needed to buy another pot or kettle to offset shipping costs. Needless to say, that's not what I wanted to hear. I would have given 5 stars if they had all been like the one that we have, but the broken pot and poor customer service dropped it to a 2 star.
